What’s New Version 2.4.3
Quiz mode leveled up: answer choices are now genuinely distinct, the next question appears instantly, and right and wrong answers each get their own feel.
Plus a big reliability pass across the app: backups now keep your review schedule, reminders stay honest about your streak, deck actions are back on iPad, and dozens of smaller fixes land everywhere.
Thanks for learning with Cognito!
Description
Remember 95% of what you study. Turn YouTube videos, PDFs, and lecture notes into AI flashcards — organized in beautiful decks, yours to keep, forever.
Cognito uses Gemini AI to generate exam-ready flashcards from anything you read, watch, or hear. Built on FSRS, the modern spaced-repetition algorithm trusted by medical students, lawyers, and engineers worldwide — sharper than the SM-2 algorithm Anki ships with by default.
YOURS, FOREVER
Every card you create stays free — even if you cancel Premium. No paywall on what you've already made, ever. Premium pays for ongoing AI work, not for access to your library.
• Lifetime export to Anki (.apkg), CSV, and TSV
• Works fully offline — your library lives on your device
• Cancel anytime, keep everything
TURN ANYTHING INTO FLASHCARDS
• YouTube videos, PDFs, audio recordings, images, websites, arXiv papers, handwritten notes
• AI extracts the right concepts and writes the cards
• Edit before you save — you stay in control
SCIENCE-BACKED MEMORY
• FSRS — Free Spaced Repetition Scheduler, the modern successor to SM-2
• Proven 95%+ long-term retention in independent studies
• Cards reappear at the precise moment your brain is about to forget
EXAM-READY OUT OF THE BOX
NEW — Exam mode: set your exam once and every deck follows it — AP, SAT and 20+ national systems, each matched to its real format and scoring.

Thanks for learning with Cognito!
Build 887576021v2.4.22026-07-02 22:16:40
Refreshed design — cleaner, calmer, and closer to native iOS: a refreshed study screen, deck cards, and animations.
Card creation is smarter and more reliable: exam prep now works from PDFs, photos, audio, and video, and a failed generation no longer uses one of your daily free creations.
Thanks for learning with Cognito!
Build 887541940v2.4.12026-06-28 16:57:51
Refined exam-prep modes — sharper, exam-specific flashcards.

Thanks for learning with Cognito!
Build 886950616v2.3.62026-06-15 21:54:25
This update makes Cognito nicer and easier to use — we refreshed the home screen and navigation, and polished little details throughout the app.
We also improved translations across dozens of languages, so the app reads more naturally in yours.
And on iPad, everything feels especially tidy.
Thanks for learning with Cognito!
Build 886810085v2.3.52026-06-12 17:59:47
AI generation is noticeably faster — cards start appearing sooner, results open the moment they are ready, and saving hands you off to studying without the old pauses.
The app launches faster too, with a lighter, shorter intro animation.
Photo to cards, improved: a picked photo now attaches to the prompt bar, so you can add a hint first and generate when you are ready.
Fixes: language-learning decks keep card fronts in the language you are learning, decks from PDF, YouTube and the web cite their sources more reliably, and several smaller issues are gone.
Thanks for learning with Cognito!
Build 886705287v2.3.42026-06-09 20:02:35
A cleaner, calmer redesign. The home screen now centers on a daily-progress ring, so you see what to study next at a glance — less clutter, more focus.
A simpler study screen. Bigger, clearer grade buttons and a distraction-free layout keep your attention on the card.
A much better iPad experience: a redesigned home and library, tidier decks, and create and edit screens that open as panels instead of taking over the screen.
A fresh look for iOS 26 — a new app icon, a redesigned launch animation, and Liquid Glass polish throughout.
Thanks for learning with Cognito!
Build 886659550v2.3.32026-06-08 20:17:07
• New Exam mode: choose your exam and your cards (and your Learning Map) are generated to match its format, terminology, and grading.
• 20+ exams grouped by region: GCSE and A-Level (pick your board — AQA, Edexcel, OCR, WJEC), AP, Baccalauréat, Abitur, ENEM, CBSE, Suneung and more. Set it once; it applies to everything you generate.
• Fixed cards occasionally generating in the wrong language — content now follows your language.
• Improved stability and performance, with polish throughout.
Thanks for learning with Cognito!
Build 886554579v2.3.22026-06-05 17:00:35

Thanks for learning with Cognito!
Build 886396016v2.3.12026-06-03 17:18:31
Creating cards is now live — they appear on screen as the AI builds them, and you can stop anytime.
Also in this update:
• A smoother first run, with your first AI deck built right in your language
• More reliable purchases and restores, plus fixes and polish throughout
Thanks for learning with Cognito!
Build 886354919v2.3.02026-05-31 23:19:12
Milestones now pay off. Every achievement you unlock instantly gifts you free Premium days — the more you study, the more you earn.
Also in this update:
• A cleaner, more focused home screen when you're just getting started
• Faster card rendering and snappier progress stats
• More reliable tags and iCloud sync
• Lots of bug fixes and polish under the hood
Thanks for learning with Cognito!
Build 886286383v2.2.82026-05-30 01:21:15
Cleaner sound
We rebuilt the sound engine from scratch — no more crackle or dropouts, and audio recovers correctly after calls, headphones, and AirPods. Plus a new volume slider in Settings → Sounds & Haptics.
Grading responds to the first tap
We fixed a bug where the first tap on a grade button sometimes didn't register. Buttons react instantly now, and the whole pill is tappable.
Study-language badge on decks
Studying a deck in another language? The tile now shows its language code (ES, JA…) — so it's clear a translation is on, no menu-digging.
Little things under the hood
The heads-up about your remaining free generations now shows up before you type, not on save. Studying and the weekly recap are smoother, we added VoiceOver gestures on the achievement and reward screens, and fixed dozens of small bugs.
Thanks for learning with us!
Build 886309637v2.2.92026-05-30 16:00:12

Thanks for studying with Cognito!
Build 886088474v2.2.72026-05-25 18:19:03
AI got sharper
Cards are punchier, no filler. Canonical sets (alphabets, planets) now come back complete and in order.
10 free generations a day
It used to be 3. Plenty to really try things out.
Under the hood we polished the small things — images now work on the question side of cards too, new decks pick their own icons, animations are smoother, and we fixed dozens of bugs.
Thanks for learning with us!
Build 886024801v2.2.62026-05-23 02:25:00
Settings — now feel like native iOS
Each section opens on its own page — Appearance, Sounds, Learning and the rest. Less scrolling, easier to find what you need.
Anki import got smarter
Cognito now understands images on both sides of cards and decks with complex template structures. Your materials move over completely — nothing gets lost on the way.
Images on the question side
Before, you could only attach an image to the answer — now to the question too. Perfect for flags, maps, diagrams and anything you want to learn visually.
Your deck library tidies itself
Icons for new decks are picked automatically — based on the content and tags. And the ones you study most often float to the top of the list.
Bug fixes and performance improvements.
Thanks for learning with us!
Build 885829642v2.2.52026-05-20 18:06:17
All your decks at a glance.
Your library is no longer one long flat list — it's a visual grid of decks, each with its own icon, colour, and card count. Medicine, Spanish, and SwiftUI no longer blur into each other: every topic lives in its own deck, with its own progress and its own context. Pin the decks you open most to Home — start a session in two taps.
Thanks for studying with us.
Build 885706352v2.2.42026-05-15 22:56:16
Learn in multiple languages
Translate any deck with a single tap. Cards are translated via Gemini, and your progress stays intact — streak, FSRS scheduler, and review history are preserved. The same material in Spanish today, Italian or Japanese tomorrow — without breaking your streak.
Calmer design
Settings are now grouped into sections — Appearance, Learning, Notifications, Data — so it's easier to find what you need.
iCloud sync status moved to the top bar — a compact indicator always in view.
Danger Zone in settings is visually distinct — harder to accidentally delete data.
All celebration animations respect Reduce Motion.
Speed
Library search is noticeably faster on large collections (500+ cards).
Skill Tree renders without lag even on large trees.
Less battery drain in the background — ambient effects on hot screens are optimized.
Dozens of small performance fixes under the hood: deck color caching, filter optimization.
Build 885481522v2.2.32026-05-11 03:43:37
The hard stuff sticks.
Tap Suggest in the Mnemonic field and AI builds a memory hook for any card — an acronym, rhyme, or vivid image. The trick that's pulled students through exams for years, now one tap away. (Pro)
Also in this update:
• AI illustrations are sharper and bigger — a two-pass generation pipeline, plus full-card-width display
• Fresh accent colour palette: Sunny, Crimson, Sienna
• Polished translations across 17 languages — small fixes, but you'll notice
Thanks for studying with us.
Build 885343684v2.2.22026-05-07 00:07:05
Cards that stick longer.
We rewrote the algorithm that decides when each card comes back. It now adapts to your memory in real time — tighter intervals on the cards you know, fewer surprises on the ones you don't.
Also in this update:
• Pick which AI-generated cards to keep before saving — tap any one to skip it
• Weak-areas chips on the Generate screen surface the topics where your accuracy is slipping
• Badge on the icon shows how many cards are due today
Thanks for studying with us.
Build 885202232v2.2.12026-05-03 19:15:04
Cognito feels at home on iPad.
Also in this update:
• Earned badges now appear in your profile — tap any one to open the full Rewards collection
• Library now shows iCloud sync as it happens — peace of mind after a fresh install
• Replay the welcome tour any time from Settings
• Softer accent tones, gentler nudges, and the usual round of polish
Thanks for studying with us.
Build 884996084v2.2.02026-04-29 03:20:23
Yours, forever — even after cancel.
A new promise: every card you've made in Cognito stays free, forever. No paywall on what you've already created — ever. Premium now pays for ongoing AI work, not for access to your library.
Also in this update:
• Weekly Recap got a fresh look with animated counters and a smoother flow
• Brand-new share card — an Instagram-ready summary of your week
• Smoother card flip with cleaner colours
• Polished icons and copy across the app
Thanks for studying with us.
Build 884951833v2.1.92026-04-27 14:49:01
A big update — no brand-new features, but almost everything got nicer and clearer.
Analytics. It used to live entirely behind the paywall. Now the basics — heatmap, accuracy, progress, personal records — are free for everyone. Subscribers get a weekly recap from an AI coach, a 14-day workload forecast, and a forgetting curve that shows how much memory you're actually saving thanks to spaced repetition.
Home screen. Refreshed the Progress block — added trend arrows on the metrics, surfaced how many cards are due this week, and taught it to congratulate you when you break a personal record.
Under the hood. Fixed a dozen small visual quirks, sped up image handling (large photos no longer hog memory), and rewrote a chunk of internal architecture — the app should feel steadier on older devices.
