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 with AI, 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: "Start a Discito review" • Focus Mode integration — "Study" filter hides distractions MOBILE-FIRST CARD CREATION • Import .apkg files from existing collections (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 AI CARD GENERATION Paste lecture text or a PDF and Discito writes Q&A flashcards for you to review before saving. Turn on cloud AI and it works on any iPhone: your text is sent to Anthropic's Claude (Google's Gemini as backup) and is never used to train their models. Recordings stay on your iPhone — only the transcript is sent. Pro includes 100 AI credits (one card generation uses one), and more come in one-time packs that never expire. Prefer to keep everything on your device? Leave cloud AI off and Discito uses 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+.
