Native flashcards for macOS and iOS. FSRS-5 spaced repetition, full Anki import, and local AI — all offline-first.
Why Avario
01 · Import
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
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
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
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.
