Note Review Reminder

English · 한국어

Schedule spaced reviews for each note, see what is due today or overdue, and track your learning progress without adding properties to the top of your notes.

The forgetting curve

The Ebbinghaus forgetting curve describes a general tendency of memory: without review, recall drops quickly soon after learning, then the rate of forgetting gradually slows. Reviewing material before it is forgotten strengthens retention and makes it possible to wait longer before the next review.

This plugin applies that idea through spaced repetition. Reviews begin close together and become progressively farther apart as the note advances through its schedule.

Conceptual illustration. Actual retention and effective review intervals vary by learner and material; the timeline is not to scale.

The default intervals are a practical spaced-repetition preset. They do not claim to reproduce Ebbinghaus's experimental results exactly for every learner. You can customize the intervals in settings.

Highlights

• Start a configurable 1, 3, 7, 14, 30, 60, 120 day review schedule for any note.
• Review today's notes, overdue notes, progress, and seven-day activity from a dedicated dashboard.
• Open the study dashboard directly from the current-note review status panel.
• Mark a review complete, postpone it until tomorrow, or undo an accidental completion.
• Keep review data in plugin storage so note properties stay clean.
• Detect review-data changes from another device in an iCloud-based vault without restarting Obsidian.
• Receive in-app and optional operating-system notifications.
• Use the same plugin on desktop and mobile.
• Keep the last card and controls clear of Obsidian's floating mobile navigation.
• Automatically match Obsidian's interface language across all 46 completed app locales; unknown future locales fall back to English.
• Follow Obsidian's language by default or choose any supported language in the plugin settings.
• Find every plugin command by searching for Note Review Reminder in the command palette, regardless of the selected interface language.

Language support

The plugin uses Obsidian's official getLanguage() API and bundles translations for every locale marked as complete for the app in the official Obsidian translations repository. No network connection is needed for translation. English is used as a safe fallback for newly added or unknown locales.

Translations are machine-assisted. Korean has completed a manual editorial review; every other localized dictionary has full structural QA and targeted terminology corrections but still needs native-speaker review before it can be considered native-certified. See the translation quality and review status.
