## What is Discito?

Study smarter for your exams — and remember it long after.

Discito plans your exam prep day by day and schedules every review with FSRS-6 — the latest open-source spaced-repetition algorithm — so you remember more while studying less. Turn PDFs, notes, and recorded lectures into flashcards on-device with Apple Intelligence, synced across your devices with no account needed.

ZERO-SETUP ONBOARDING

Open the app. Tap "Continue" → "Start reviewing". Study a tutorial deck immediately. Under 30 seconds. No web account, no desktop install, no .apkg hoop-jumping.

SMART EXAM PLAN

Add your exam date and Discito builds a day-by-day plan that covers every card before exam day — weakest cards first — without disturbing your long-term FSRS schedule. Track several exams at once, each with its own countdown and on-track status. When every card is covered, it tells you you're ready.

SYNC THAT JUST WORKS

Your cards follow you across iPhone and iPad through your iCloud. Edit on one device, review on another. No passwords. No mystery errors. Your data stays yours.

REAL iOS INTEGRATION

• Review reminders on your schedule, per deck
• Home Screen widget with due count + one-tap review
• Live Activity during review sessions — progress on Lock Screen and Dynamic Island
• Control Center widget — start a review in one tap
• Shortcuts + Siri: "Quiz me on Pharmacology"
• Focus Mode integration — "Study" filter hides distractions

MOBILE-FIRST CARD CREATION

• Import .apkg files from existing flashcard collections directly (no desktop needed)
• Share Sheet extension: select any text, send to Discito, get cards
• CSV from Files app
• Deck sharing via AirDrop + the iOS Share Sheet
• Reliable image support — paste, drag, or pick inline

APPLE INTELLIGENCE (iPhone 15 Pro or later)

Paste lecture text or a PDF. Discito generates Q&A flashcards on-device, privately. No servers, no fees, no data sent anywhere. AI features require Apple Intelligence (iPhone 15 Pro or later, or an M-series iPad, on iOS 26). Everything else works on any iPhone running iOS 18.6+.

FOR MEDICAL STUDENTS AND LANGUAGE LEARNERS

Built for the people already keeping long study streaks across thousands of cards. Cloze deletion, basic Q&A, reverse cards, stats dashboard with streak / retention % / projected completion date, and dark mode with a matching dark app icon.

### 5/5 — Game Changer for Studying

*2026-07-02*

I am taking a psychology class over summer break, been using the app to create notes/transcript of the lecture, which I then use to create flash cards. Really made studying so much easier.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much, Coach2123 — this genuinely made our day. Turning your lecture recordings into flashcards is exactly the workflow we built Discito for, so hearing it's making your summer psych class easier is the best feedback we could ask for. Good luck with the course, and happy studying! 🎓
