Why Avario

Anki's algorithm pedigree.
Designed for humans.

01 · Import

Your Anki decks, better experience

Import .apkg and .colpkg files with everything intact — ease factors, intervals, review history, media, tags. Choose between SM-2 (the classic) and FSRS-5 (ML-optimized with adjustable retention). Image occlusion, cloze deletion, and an advanced card browser with Anki-style search operators.

You don't start over. You level up.

02 · Habit

Learning that feels like a game

Daily streaks with milestone bonuses. Gems you earn by studying and spend on streak freezes and power-ups. Three review modes — Speed Timer, Pomodoro, and Life Drain — so long sessions don't blur together.

Small wins compound into real habits.

03 · Intelligence

AI that stays on your machine

Run a local LLM via Ollama for explanations, card generation from documents, and chat about tough concepts. Cloud providers (Claude, OpenAI) are opt-in and bring-your-own-key — never required.

Private by design, not by policy.

04 · Architecture

Offline-first, native on every Apple device

Built in Rust with a SwiftUI front-end. Cards live in a local SQLite database, encrypted by your OS. Works fully offline. Sync across your Mac and iPhone is optional — never a requirement.

Your data. Your machine. Your terms.
