CardCraft AI
Read full descriptionHide full description
Stop making flashcards. Start mastering them. Snap a photo of your notes. Drop in a PDF. Paste a lecture transcript. CardCraft AI generates the cards ā and your private 1:1 Socratic AI Tutor walks you through every concept until it clicks. No more re-reading flipped cards and pretending you learned. Runs entirely on Apple Intelligence on your iPhone. Your study material never leaves the device. No server, no telemetry, no analytics SDKs. Nothing for us to leak, sell, or hand over. THE FOUR THINGS THAT MAKE CARDCRAFT DIFFERENT 1. The Socratic Tutor When you get a card wrong, most apps move on. CardCraft stops and asks you why. The on-device tutor walks you through the concept the way a real tutor would ā questions, not answers ā until you actually understand. No more fake-learning by re-reading a flipped card. 2. Exam Cram Mode Three days before the exam, switch on Exam Cram. CardCraft stops showing you cards you already know and front-loads everything you've been getting wrong. It's the Pareto cut for finals week. 3. On-device AI, no subscription tax for the basics Photo scanning, PDF import, CSV import, Quizlet import, the SM-2 review engine, manual card creation, and unlimited decks are all free. The free tier is a real free tier ā not a 7-day timer. 4. It lives on your wrist and your lock screen Apple Watch app for review-on-the-go. Lock Screen widgets for cards-due-today and your streak. Siri Shortcuts: "Hey Siri, run my morning review." It fits the way you actually study, not the way an app wants you to.
