Upload a PDF, paste notes, or type a topic. Deck Drafting finds key concepts, definitions, and relationships, then drafts question-and-answer cards you can edit before they enter your deck. You can always add cards by hand. The AI saves typing; it does not take over.

A review schedule backed by decades of cognitive psychology. Instead of re-reading everything at once, each card reappears right before you would naturally forget it. Long-term memory gets stronger with less total study time than cramming.

Retrieving an answer from memory before you look at it. Every AnkiCat card makes you answer first, then flip. That small effort builds durable memory better than re-reading or highlighting.

Student Pro subscribers receive 10 AI credits every month. Credits accumulate up to a maximum of 120 credits (one year of grants). Each credit lot expires 365 days after it was granted. You will receive push notifications 3 months and 2 months before any credits expire, so you have time to use them.

You keep all unused credits until their original expiry date (365 days from when they were granted), even if you cancel your subscription. After expiry, credits are automatically removed from your balance.

Extra credit packs are not sold at this time. All AI credits come from your Student Pro subscription allowance.

Subscriptions help cover ongoing development, support, hosting, and AI processing. Student Pro provides the benefits shown at checkout. Our mission is to make effective study tools accessible to more learners while maintaining educational quality and reliability.

Our long-term goal is to lower fees as our costs fall sustainably, while preserving educational quality and reliability. There is no guaranteed reduction, amount, or timeline. Subscribe based on the current benefits and price shown at checkout.

With sufficient financial and operational resources, we hope to run suitable AI models on infrastructure we control. We would migrate only if study-task evaluations match or exceed current provider quality, and reliability and total costs make sense. There is no promised date; these are not guaranteed subscription benefits.

No. Self-hosting means running AI on infrastructure we control, not on your device or training a proprietary model. Offline study lets you review synced cards without a connection; AI features need an internet connection. Today, AI processing uses external providers as described in our Privacy Policy.
