Mochi is a calm, text-first flashcard app for learners who like Anki's approach but not its interface. The free plan needs no account and gives unlimited cards and decks with offline use on Mac, Windows, Linux, iOS and Android, plus card templates and import and export. Pro costs $5 per month billed annually, and yearly billing saves $12 a year. It adds sync across devices, 10 GB of cloud storage, deck publishing, dynamic fields that fill cards from a data source, an HTTP API and much larger AI limits: AI completion that makes cards and rewrites text rises from 5,000 to 500,000 tokens a month, with dictionary lookups, translation, transcription, text to speech and image search also included. The limits reset on the first of each month. Mochi is weaker at the main job of this list, turning a whole PDF into a deck in one step, so students working from long readings may prefer RemNote or Jungle.
