The pitch (one sentence)
Discito is a $14.99-once FSRS-6 flashcard app for iPhone — built native, with on-device AI card generation and lecture audio capture, iCloud sync that just works, and zero subscription or account.
The pitch (one paragraph)
Discito is an iOS-native spaced-repetition flashcard app built around the open-source FSRS-6 algorithm. Where the broader category typically demands desktop setup, web account creation, or recurring subscription billing, Discito is a single $14.99 one-time purchase with Family Sharing included. It ships on-device AI card generation, lecture audio → flashcards, AI image generation, and image occlusion authoring via Apple's Foundation Models framework — every model runs locally on iPhone 15 Pro and later, so source text and audio never leave the device. Built in 16 weeks by a solo developer, with bit-exact .apkg import-and-export round-trip for users bringing existing flashcard libraries with them.

Founder bio
Chris Hinckley is the solo developer behind Discito. He built the entire 16-week v1 — schema design, FSRS-6 implementation, on-device AI integration via Apple's Foundation Models framework, the SwiftUI front end, the App Store Connect setup, and the marketing site — by himself, working from the position that the right architecture for a spaced-repetition app is "one well-built iOS app, no servers, no accounts, no subscription."
Previous work includes OnDeckDJ and other indie iOS projects. Currently based in the US; reachable at [email protected] for interviews and editorial inquiries.
