Mochi takes Markdown in and cards out, with unlimited offline use on a free plan that needs no sign-up. Pro is $5.00 a month and what it buys is sync, checked 16 September 2026. That is an honest free tier: free means one device.
Scale is the risk. Mochi had 173 App Store ratings on 16 September 2026. If the developer stops, there is no community the size of Anki’s to carry it.

Calm and text-first. Ideal if you already write notes in Markdown. Not the app you pick for a shared class library.
