2.5.0
Decks 2.5.0 Release Notes
π Major Addition: Cram mode
Got an exam tomorrow? Decks 2.5.0 adds Cram β a focused drill over a whole deck that lets you hammer cards until they stick, without touching your real schedule. Cramming never rewrites your due dates or your review history, so a late-night cram session won't wreck the spacing FSRS has carefully built up.
To start, open any deck's β― menu and choose Cram. It works for regular decks, tag groups, and filter/custom decks alike.
How Cram Works
- A simple two-button drill: Every card is shown with just Again and Good. Press Again on a card you don't know yet and it comes back around in a minute or two; press Good once you've got it and it graduates out of the session. You keep going until every card has graduated.
- Starts from scratch: Cram drills every card in the deck fresh, regardless of when it's actually due β so it's a true "study everything" pass before a test, not just a review of what's due today.
- Completely separate from your schedule: Cram writes no review history and changes nothing about your cards β stability, difficulty, due dates, and review counts are all left exactly as they were. When you go back to normal review, it's as if the cram never happened.
- Pause and resume the same day: Close the window mid-drill and your progress is kept. Reopen the deck's β― menu and it now reads Resume cram β pick up right where you left off. (A new day starts a fresh drill.)
- Follows you across devices: Cram progress syncs like the rest of your data, so you can start on one device and continue on another.
Upgrade-safe: nothing in your vault changes, and your existing scheduling and review history are untouched.
