Your wiki can now make sure you remember what's in it. Turn any fact into a flashcard that lives inside the page it came from, and MojoPad schedules it with FSRS — the modern spaced-repetition algorithm behind today's Anki — showing each card just before you'd forget it. No separate deck app, no subscription, nothing leaves your Mac.
New to spaced repetition? The idea in one sentence: reviewing a fact just as you're about to forget it is what locks it into long-term memory — so instead of you deciding what to study, MojoPad tracks each card's forgetting curve and asks at the right moment. A few minutes when the 🎴 chip appears is all the habit takes.
/flashcard and choose Flashcard. A card block appears
with Question selected — type your question (say, “What year did the Suez Canal
open?”).space to reveal the answer.3). The card is scheduled about three days out; the chip disappears; you're
done. In three days it will be back, and each honest Good pushes it further into
the future.A flashcard is an ordinary block: the question is its title, the answer is
its body. Type /flashcard on any page, or make cards straight from your writing:
[…] where they were. Instant, no model needed.> [!card] Question ^id with the
answer quoted below — so cards travel anywhere your files do.When cards come due, a 🎴 chip appears in the status bar (and today's daily note greets you with a one-line nudge). Click it, or run Review Due Cards:
space reveals then grades Good; 1–4 grade directly;
U takes back the last grade. A forgotten card returns later the same sitting.The four buttons are how the scheduler learns your memory — each shows the interval it would set for this card, right now, so nothing is hidden:
Two things people worry about, answered: away for a month? Nothing breaks — overdue
cards simply wait, the oldest surface first, and the scheduler accounts for the longer gap
when you grade. Mis-tapped? Press U (or click ↩ Undo in the review
header) and the last grade — schedule and history both — is taken back.
Not everything has one right answer. /reflection makes a 💭 card with an open
question — "What would break if we doubled users?" — scheduled by the same engine. When it
comes up, think, jot, and your thinking is added back to the source page, timestamped;
the note accumulates your thoughts across sittings. Grade with Punt / Soon / Later / Much later.
Memory Stats & Optimizer… (command palette) shows your cards, reviews, recall rate, what's due, and half a year of reviews as a heat-map with your 🔥 streak. And once enough history accumulates, one click fits the scheduler to your own memory: MojoPad re-derives all nineteen FSRS parameters from your review history — gradient descent on the recall predictions, entirely on your Mac — so intervals stretch where your memory is strong and tighten where it isn't. If your memory tracks the standard model, it says so honestly. Back to standard undoes it any time.
Concretely: the button unlocks at 200 scored reviews — a scored review is any review of a card you'd seen at least a day earlier (those are the ones that test real recall; same-day repeats don't count). The meter on the button shows your progress. Until then you're on the standard FSRS model, which is already excellent — the fit is a refinement, not a requirement, and re-fitting later (every month or two, as more history accumulates) keeps it sharp.
