prettysmart blocks distracting apps until you study. Review your flashcards to earn time on Instagram, TikTok, games, or whichever apps keep pulling you away from your work. Create flashcards from your notes, organize them by subject, and work through your reviews. You choose which apps to block, and studying earns you time to use them. CREATE FLASHCARDS Write your own cards or use AI to generate them from PDFs, lecture notes, and textbook photos. Import existing cards with CSV, or share decks with classmates. Add images and format your text to make cards easier to read. For visual subjects, use image occlusion to hide parts of an image and practice recalling what’s underneath. It’s useful for anatomy diagrams, maps, and anything you need to recognize by sight. STUDY AND REMEMBER prettysmart uses FSRS spaced repetition to schedule reviews based on how well you remember each card. You can follow your daily reviews or use Cram Mode for extra practice before an exam. Your flashcards are available offline, so you can study without an internet connection. KEEP THINGS ORGANIZED Group related topics into subdecks, sort your cards, and archive decks you’re no longer studying. Choose charms for your decks and customize the app with colors and light or dark mode. EARN YOUR SCREEN TIME Review flashcards to add minutes to your screen time budget. Using your selected apps spends those minutes. When your budget runs out, the apps are blocked until you earn more by studying. SUBSCRIPTION A subscription is required to access most features. A free trial is available so you can try prettysmart before subscribing. Terms: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy: https://pretty-smart.app/privacy/

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: prettysmart at none against Cardoo's shown. Cardoo's advantage is update cadence (daily vs every 2 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
