spaced repetition flash-card program π (it lives in section 1 of the manual, bestie)
πΈ NAME πΈ
mnemosyne β the spaced repetition flash-card program π
π¦ SYNOPSIS π¦
mnemosyne [options]
π DESCRIPTION π
Okay so listen. Mnemosyne looks like your classic flash-card situation β you make question/answer pairs, you drill them, you memorise stuff β but here's the plot twist that makes it iconic: it uses a sophisticated algorithm to figure out the best time for a card to come up for review. β¨
The way it works is lowkey genius:
- Cards that are hard and that you keep forgetting? They get scheduled more often. The algorithm is basically stalking your weak spots (affectionately). π
- Cards you already remember well? Mnemosyne is not gonna waste your time on them. No cap, it respects your schedule. π«Ά
Since Mnemosyne is a Qt application, it's usually not started from a shell β it gets launched from an X11 menu instead. And ngl, it doesn't take many options. π
Want a few hints on how to actually use the software? The homepage is right here, go peek:
