Most flashcard apps run their AI in the cloud — they meter it, charge per generation, and send your notes to a server. Bowerbird doesn't. Its AI runs entirely on your iPhone, so card-making is fast, works in airplane mode, and your notes never leave your device. SNAP, CARDS, REMEMBER Point your camera at a page of notes. Bowerbird reads it on-device and turns it into clean flashcards — no retyping. Tables become cards instantly. Paste an export from another flashcard app, or a plain list of terms, and it splits them in one tap. STUDY THAT ACTUALLY STICKS Bowerbird schedules every review with FSRS-6, the modern spaced-repetition algorithm serious students rely on. See exactly when each card comes back, watch your memory strength grow, and keep a daily streak. EXAM MODE Set your exam date and Bowerbird plans backward — ramping up retention and making sure every card is seen before the big day.
