Support & FAQ.

Yes — Discito reads .apkg files directly. Cards, images, audio fields, tags, and FSRS scheduling state all import bit-exact. There's no conversion step: send the file to Discito via the Share Sheet, drop it into the Files app on your iPhone and tap Open with Discito, or use the Import button inside the app.

Discito's .apkg reader supports the LEGACY_1, LEGACY_2, and LATEST format versions in common circulation. We validate every import against the open-source reference Python loader as part of CI, so a Discito import → Discito export → reference loader round-trip is byte-equivalent.

FSRS history transfers directly. SM-2 history (from older decks scheduled before they adopted FSRS) is converted bit-exact to FSRS-6 via the fsrs-rs reference implementation's memory_state_from_sm2 helper — the same conversion routine the open spaced-repetition community uses to migrate users from SM-2 to FSRS.

Personalized FSRS weights from a prior app don't transfer automatically (Discito starts with the FSRS-6 community defaults), but the Pro optimizer can re-derive your personal weights from your imported review history in about 55 milliseconds on a 1,200-review deck.

If the deck is published as a downloadable .apkg on a community site, yes — download the file and import it like any other. Discito does not connect to any third-party sync service (it has no web account, see below), so live sync with a community-hosted shared deck is not supported.

$14.99 once, lifetime. Family Sharing included. No subscription, ever.

The Lite tier is free forever with unlimited cards and full FSRS-6 scheduling. Pro is a single non-consumable in-app purchase that unlocks the differentiated features (on-device AI, personalized optimizer, IO authoring, smart quiz modes, weekly report, .apkg export). See the pricing page for the full breakdown.

One purchase covers up to six members of your Apple Family Sharing group at no extra cost. When you buy Discito Pro, every family-group member's device automatically gets Pro entitlement on their next launch. There's nothing for you or them to configure beyond having Family Sharing set up in iOS Settings.

Family Sharing on Discito is irreversible once enabled (Apple's rule, not ours) — we configured it on at App Store Connect setup and there's no path to disable later.

Settings → Discito Pro → Restore Purchases. This re-queries App Store for any non-consumable purchases on your Apple ID and restores Pro entitlement. Standard App Store flow — no Discito account required.

App Store refunds go through Apple directly. Open Settings → [your name] → Media & Purchases → View Account → Purchase History, find Discito, and tap Report a Problem. Apple processes the refund decision; we don't handle billing.

No. There's no signup, no password, no email collection, no web account. Your data lives in your iCloud Drive private database, sync'd by Apple's CloudKit framework. Discito has no server — there's nothing for us to lose, lock, or be breached on.

Open Discito on two iOS devices signed into the same Apple ID with iCloud Drive enabled. That's it. Cards, decks, review history, FSRS weights, and Settings preferences propagate across devices automatically. Initial sync of a large library can take a few minutes; subsequent syncs are near-instant.

iCloud sync is free for everyone — it's not a Pro gate. Pro is about features, not your data.

Discito works in local-only mode if iCloud Drive is disabled on your device — you can still create cards, study, and use every feature except cross-device sync. Re-enabling iCloud Drive at any time turns sync on automatically.

Yes. All four AI features (card generation, image generation, lecture audio → cards, smart quiz distractors) use Apple's Foundation Models framework and Apple Intelligence. Your source text, lecture audio, and image-generation prompts never leave your device, never reach Discito, never reach a third-party model provider.

Apple Intelligence is required, which means: iPhone 15 Pro or later, OR an M1 (or later) iPad, running iOS 26. On older devices, the AI features are visibly disabled in the app with a one-line explanation of the requirement. Every non-AI feature works on every iOS 18.6+ device — Pro entitlement is by purchase, not by hardware.

You choose. By default recordings are kept locally on your device so you can re-generate or use the audio-jump button (which takes you to the moment in the recording where a card came from). You can opt to auto-delete the audio after card generation, or delete it manually any time from Settings → Library → AI Sources.

Lecture audio is never uploaded to a server. The transcription itself uses Apple's on-device SpeechAnalyzer, gated behind the standard iOS microphone-permission prompt.

Settings → Daily Reminder enables a daily reminder time globally; each deck can override that time individually via the deck's overflow menu → Reminder Schedule. Reminders use Apple's recurring UNCalendarNotificationTrigger, so they fire reliably even when the app isn't running.

If you've already met today's review goal for a deck, Discito will skip-if-met on the next foreground tick. (Caveat: this requires the app to be opened at some point between studying and the reminder time, since iOS can't intercept notifications without app code running.)

No — Home Screen widgets, Lock Screen widgets, the Live Activity, Dynamic Island, and the Control Center "Start Review" button are all Lite features. Pro adds per-deck widget configuration (pinning a specific deck to a widget instance).

Add a Discito "Study" filter to any Focus mode (Work, School, etc.) via iOS Settings → Focus → [your focus] → Add Filter. When the focus is active, Discito suppresses non-study notifications and surfaces a "Continue Studying" CTA in the widget Smart Stack.

Three options. (1) iCloud automatically syncs and persists your full library — your data is in Apple's hands. (2) CSV export (Lite) writes a plain-text CSV per deck via the iOS share sheet. (3) .apkg export (Pro) writes a full bit-exact .apkg file with cards, images, audio, tags, and FSRS state intact — portable to any FSRS-aware app that reads the format.

Yes. .apkg export is the canonical portable path: Discito → .apkg file → any other FSRS-aware app. We've validated the export round-trip against the open-source reference Python loader in our test suite. Your data is yours.

Two safety nets. (1) Your data lives in your iCloud — even if Discito stopped shipping updates, your cards stay accessible via your CloudKit database. (2) You can always export to .apkg and move to any other FSRS app. We're not in the lock-in business.
