Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know before you start learning with Cognito.

What is Cognito?

Cognito is an AI-powered learning app for iPhone and iPad. It turns YouTube videos, PDFs, lectures, photos, web pages, and arXiv papers into flashcards and structured Skill Tree learning programs, then schedules reviews with the FSRS spaced-repetition algorithm so you remember more in less time.

Is Cognito free?

Yes. Manual card creation, FSRS spaced repetition, Classic and Compact study modes, Anki/CSV/TSV import, and up to 10 AI generations per day are free forever. Premium unlocks unlimited AI generation, Skill Trees, and advanced content sources.

What can Cognito turn into flashcards?

Type any topic, or upload a YouTube video, PDF, audio lecture, photo of your notes, web page, or arXiv paper. The AI extracts the key concepts and creates study-ready cards automatically.

Is Cognito a good Anki alternative?
