Turn your study material into flashcards you can check, edit, and keep. Build a daily study routine with spaced repetition, decks, and exam profiles. Cognito is an independent study tool, not an official exam question bank. Create from a topic, pasted text, or photo. Premium also supports PDFs, scans, audio, YouTube, arXiv, and supported web pages. Check the AI output before saving. Free includes unlimited manual cards, scheduled review, and 10 AI generation batches per calendar month, with up to 20 cards per batch. Premium removes that monthly generation allowance and supports up to 50 cards per batch. Saved interactive exercises are free to study offline. AI exercise preparation has a separate allowance: one successful free trial, then up to 30 prepared variants per UTC calendar month with Premium. iCloud syncs your cards, decks, and progress across iPhone, iPad, and Mac using the same Apple Account. Saved cards can be studied offline; AI and syncing require internet. Your library and progress remain available after Premium ends. Premium subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled.
