fast facts
boilerplate (copy, paste, done)
knowhere is a Year 12 study app for HSC and VCE students, built around a simple idea: study should be shaped to the student’s brain, not the textbook’s layout. Instead of notes and highlighters, every concept in every subject is a living, interactive model students can explore, and the experience adapts to how each learner thinks, focuses and remembers. The aim is a student who has worked out how they learn — which is why Year 12 is where knowhere starts, not where it stops. Founded by Cat Ryan and made in Australia, knowhere launches 21 September 2026 — weeks before the exams. knowhere.me
the founder
Cat Ryan spent most of her own Year 12 in the school library — removed from class for having a brain that moved fast and sideways, taking notes in pictures. She sat the exams anyway, mostly without attending, and finished in the top 10 per cent of the state. The teachers who’d sent her to the library started being warm to her. Same brain; a number they recognised. The gap was never ability — it was format.
Twenty years on, the kid drawing in the margins is still being told to stop — so she built knowhere: study crafted for individual brains instead of broadcast at them. She is a solo, bootstrapped founder, which means she also answers the emails. Ask her about intent-based learning, why so many people are frightened of learning something new, navigating the world with autism and ADHD, why highlighters are a scam — or what a goat has to do with any of this.
Available for interviews, podcasts and expert commentary on study, exams, neurodivergent learning, and why confidence in learning matters more than content.
