Account access and review
Sign-in authorizes the connection to your Piply account under the permissions you approve. Asking about one file does not restrict access to that file. Review the host’s tool controls and check generated content against your materials. Disconnecting does not retract information already sent to the host.

Questions
Is this the same as Claude Projects?
No. Projects hold files inside Claude. Piply keeps your courses, quizzes, flashcards and review schedule in one place and lets Claude read and add to them from any chat.
Can I use it in the Claude mobile app?
Yes. Add the connector once in Claude's settings and it is available on mobile too.
