Every Discito feature, in depth.

We built one feature at a time, each one earning its place. Here's what each one does, why it's there, and where to find it.

Pro · 3 free trial plans<br>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. 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.

The plan runs on a non-destructive cram engine: drilling today's slice never disturbs your long-term FSRS schedule. Cram for Friday's midterm and keep your year-long retention curve intact — at the same time.

Pro · 5 free trial sessions<br>AI card generation, on-device

Paste a textbook chapter, drop a PDF, or feed the day's lecture transcript in. Discito calls Apple's on-device Foundation Models to draft a batch of Q&A cards, capped at 50 per session, with chunked processing so the source text is never sent to a server. Every draft card is editable, deletable, or regeneratable before it ever reaches your deck.

The pipeline runs NLLanguageRecognizer on your source first, then routes through the matching Foundation Models language pack. Nine languages supported at launch. Thermal pre-flight throttles long generations so your phone doesn't get hot.

Requires iPhone 15 Pro or later on iOS 26 with Apple Intelligence enabled. Lite users get 5 free sessions; Pro is unlimited.

Pro · 1 free trial recording<br>Lecture audio → flashcards

Record a 45-minute lecture directly in Discito, get on-device transcription via Apple's SpeechAnalyzer, and generate a candidate-card list from the transcript. The recording is yours — stored locally, deletable after generation, never uploaded.

Four-step wizard: Record → Transcribe → Review transcript (with per-segment alternatives) → Generate cards. Background-audio capable so screen-locking doesn't stop the recording. Audio session arbitration coexists cleanly with audio-card playback and the FSRS review loop.

Cards generated from a lecture carry a source-timestamp link — tap the audio-jump button on a card during review and you're at the exact moment in the recording where the idea came from. Audio retention is opt-in: keep it forever for re-generation, or auto-delete after card creation.

Requires iPhone 15 Pro or later on iOS 26 with Apple Intelligence enabled. 90-minute hard cap per recording.

Pro · counts toward AI-gen trial<br>AI image generation

For visual cards — the front face of a vocab card, an illustrative diagram for a concept — generate an image with Apple's on-device ImageCreator. Three styles (illustration / animation / sketch), 4-up streaming grid, refine via plain-text TextField. Pick one, save it to the card; the others get discarded.

Available wherever you'd normally add an image: the per-template image picker grows a fourth source, "Generate with AI." On iPhone 15 Pro+ on iOS 26 the option appears; on devices without Apple Intelligence it's hidden entirely so the picker stays uncluttered.

Requires iPhone 15 Pro or later on iOS 26 with Apple Intelligence enabled. Generation is on-device — your prompts never leave the phone.

Pro<br>Image Occlusion authoring

Drop an image (anatomy diagram, parts list, a map), then tap-and-drag rectangles, ellipses, or tap-place polygons over the regions you want to test on. Resize, rotate, and color each occluded zone. Discito generates one card per occlusion, with sibling-card grouping so you can review them as a set.

Bit-exact round-trip with the open .apkg format — Discito's Image Occlusion shapes serialize cleanly so your authored cards remain portable. Lite users get to render imported IO cards; authoring is Pro.

Apple Pencil supported for precise polygon vertices on iPad. Snap-to-edge for grid-style diagrams. EXIF orientation handled at ingest — your image never rotates underneath your shapes.

Pro · 3 free trial sessions<br>Smart quiz modes (MCQ + True/False + Type-the-answer)

Beyond the classic flip card, Discito ships three quiz modes for active recall. Type-the-answer grades fuzzy-match against your card's back text. Multiple-choice generates plausible distractors from your deck — or, if you're on Apple Intelligence hardware, from Foundation Models with a 5-check quality gate (length parity, Levenshtein-distance threshold, deduplication, semantic plausibility, fallback to same-deck random).

True/False generates a "is this fact correct?" prompt with the same distractor pipeline. Every quiz mode feeds back into FSRS-6 scheduling — the algorithm doesn't care whether you got it right via flip or MCQ; it sees the rating you gave.

Lite users get 3 free smart-quiz sessions; classic flip-card review is always free.
