Lirno review
A broad AI study companion for Apple users who want help beyond answer checking.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Lirno is an AI homework helper and study app for students using iPhone, iPad, or Mac. It accepts typed homework questions, worksheet photos, and files, then provides hints, explanations, reasoning checks, and step-by-step help. Its study tools extend beyond individual questions, with flashcards, quizzes, lessons, mistake reviews, exam practice, homework planning, focus blocks, and progress tracking. Subjects include mathematics, science, writing, history, languages, literature, geography, and computer science.
Its strongest distinction is breadth. Lirno combines question-solving support with planning and study activities, making it suitable for students who want one app for homework sessions, revision, and exam preparation. The multiple support modes also give learners different levels of guidance, from a hint to a fuller explanation or a check of their reasoning. Students looking mainly for a simple answer lookup tool may find this wider study focus unnecessary, while those who prefer guided work and structured practice have more to use.
The free plan includes typed, photo, and PDF input, step-by-step explanations, multiple support modes, flashcards, quizzes, planning, and exam tracking. Premium Weekly and Premium Yearly provide Premium access. According to the app pricing notes, prices, billing periods, trials, and eligibility vary by region and are shown in the app. Lirno fits students already working within Apple’s ecosystem, but its iOS and macOS coverage limits access for users on other platforms. Choose it for guided homework support paired with planning and exam tools; choose an alternative if cross-platform access or clearly detailed plan differences is essential.
