Grasp is a fully open-source learning platform. The app, the content, and the infrastructure — everything is transparent, auditable, and community-driven.
Grasp is a mobile application built with React Native and Expo, designed to provide a rich, offline-first learning experience. The entire app runs locally on your device with no backend dependency for core functionality.
Key technologies:

Content supports English, Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam. Each language version is independently maintained and can be contributed to separately.
