Take a photo of a page from your book. PageBite turns it into flashcards and a short quiz, so you remember what you read. No more writing flashcards by hand. And distracting apps? They open only after you answer a few questions from your own books. How it works 1. Scan 1 to 5 pages with your phone's camera. The app reads the text right on your phone. 2. The AI finds the key idea of the page and writes a quiz and flashcards for you. 3. Take the quiz right away. Later, each flashcard comes back right before you would forget it. This is called spaced repetition, and the app plans it for you. For every kind of book • Textbooks: study for your exam with the book you already have. • Non-fiction: keep the ideas you want to use. • Novels: remember what happens and who is who, for school or your book club. What you get • The key idea of every page in a few sentences • A short quiz for every page • Flashcards that go straight into your daily review • A list of terms or characters for every book that grows with each page • A daily review that plans itself and works offline • One reminder a day if you want it, only when cards are due • A learning streak that counts the days you learn. Days with nothing due don't break it. • Edit or delete any card App lock for distracting apps Choose apps that distract you, like social media. When you open one, the PageBite lock shows up first. Answer a few questions from your own books, and the app opens for a while. You choose how many questions and how long it stays open. You can turn the lock off in Settings anytime. Only your iPhone knows which apps you chose, never PageBite. Your privacy • Page photos stay on your phone and are deleted as soon as the text is read. • Only the text of the page goes to the AI. It is processed in the EU. • No sign-up needed. Backup with a login is optional. • Usage statistics only if you say yes. • Everything the AI writes is marked "AI-generated". The AI can make mistakes, so check the page in your book when something looks wrong. Languages The app is in English and German. Your cards are in the language of the page. Subscription PageBite needs a subscription. Your first page is free, so you see your result before you pay. Choose a yearly plan, which can include a free trial, or a monthly plan. Each plan includes up to 150 scans a week and renews automatically. Cancel anytime in your App Store settings. Restoring purchases, exporting your data and deleting your account always work, even without a subscription.

Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: CoreFiles at free with in-app purchases against PageBite's subscription. PageBite's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
