SnapDeck AI

SnapDeck AI is a free iPhone app that converts photos of textbooks, lecture slides, whiteboards, and handwritten notes into flashcards using on-device AI. It also supports PDF import and manual text entry, allowing users to build study decks from a variety of sources. The app is designed for students who want to go from raw study material to a quiz-ready deck in seconds, without the overhead of manually writing out cards. Privacy and offline functionality are central to the product. All AI processing happens on the iPhone via Apple Intelligence, so no account, no upload, and no internet connection are required. The app supports 39 languages, making it useful for language learning and for studying non-English materials. Users can edit generated cards, organize decks by subject, and track mastery with progress statistics. Study features include flip-and-answer cards, self-assessment with "Know it" or "Review" options, streaks, XP, and per-deck mastery percentages. The interface includes dark mode and airplane mode, and the app is positioned as a faster alternative to hand-making flashcards. SnapDeck AI is available on the App Store and is aimed at learners who want a private, offline-first flashcard workflow.
