Stuck on a nursing dosage calc, a circuits problem, or an ocean engineering lab? Capture it on your screen and get a step-by-step solution in seconds.
Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton has been on a serious upswing. The programs in nursing, engineering, ocean engineering, and business are growing fast, and with that growth comes rigorous coursework that doesn't slow down just because it's a beautiful day outside. Whether you're in the Christine E. Lynn College of Nursing, the College of Engineering and Computer Science, or the College of Business, there's always a problem set or exam to prepare for.
QuickHW is a macOS app that lives in your menu bar. When you're stuck on a problem, press Cmd+Shift+X, drag over the question on your screen, and within seconds you get a detailed step-by-step breakdown in a floating overlay. It stays on top of whatever you're working on -- no switching tabs, no copying text into another tool. Just fast, clear answers with the work shown.
QuickHW is built for the exact courses that keep FAU students grinding:
Cmd+Shift+X to capture any problem -- Canvas, PDFs, Pearson, McGraw-Hill, handwritten notes.
Solutions appear right on top of your work. Stay focused, no context-switching.
Full explanations so you understand the "how" and "why" before your exam.
It's a Tuesday night and you're in your apartment near the Boca campus. Your nursing pharmacology homework is open on Canvas and you're stuck on a weight-based dosage calculation that has three unit conversions. You pull up the problem on your Mac, hit Cmd+Shift+X, select it, and in about five seconds you've got every conversion step laid out clearly -- from pounds to kilograms, milligrams to milliliters, and the final drip rate. No more stressing about whether you set up the dimensional analysis correctly.
Or maybe you're at the S.E. Wimberly Library studying for your ocean engineering midterm and there's a wave mechanics problem involving Airy wave theory that's just not clicking. Capture the problem from your lecture notes and QuickHW walks you through the derivation and application step by step.
It works with anything on your screen: Canvas assignments, Pearson MyLab, textbook PDFs, screenshots, even photos of your own handwritten notes. If you can see it on your Mac, QuickHW can solve it.
A lot of FAU students are commuters or work part-time alongside their studies. You don't always have time to sit in a tutoring center or wait for office hours. QuickHW gives you expert-level homework help on demand, whenever you need it -- at home, in the library, between classes, at midnight before a deadline.
The app is lightweight and won't slow down your MacBook. It sits in the menu bar and is ready instantly. You get 10 free solves when you download, and if you're using it regularly, the Pro plan is $5.99/month -- that's less than a smoothie from Boca.
FAU students are resourceful, hardworking, and smart about how they spend their time. QuickHW is the study tool that matches that energy. Get the help you need in seconds, actually understand the material, and still have time to enjoy everything Boca Raton and South Florida have to offer.
