How card review works in Revomia

Reviews in Revomia follow a schedule: each time you work through a card, the pause before its next appearance grows. At first the card shows up often, then less and less.

Why a schedule at all

Memory of freshly learned material fades fast: without reviews it roughly halves within days or weeks. Ebbinghaus already assumed that each repetition increases the optimal interval before the next one — and this is exactly the principle Revomia uses to schedule reviews.

Reviews spread out in time build stronger memory than the same amount of repetition in a row. The schedule here is the learning mechanism itself.

The topic rule: pauses in days

Every topic in Revomia has a review rule — a sequence of pauses in days. After you work through a card, the system sets the next appearance: the moment of the review plus the current pause. With each review the card moves on to the next, longer pause.

Once the pauses run out, the card counts as learned — the system will not queue it again.

Ratings are for you, the schedule follows the rule

While studying you mark how easy a card felt. These ratings go into your statistics but do not affect the schedule: the queue is driven by the topic rule. The timetable stays predictable — you know in advance how a card will come back.

What if you skip a day

Nothing bad. The pause before the next appearance is counted from the moment you actually reviewed the card, not from a missed deadline. Overdue cards do not pile up “debt”, and the queue does not snowball after a break.

Reminders

So that reviews do not get lost, Revomia sends a daily push notification that there is something to review — adjusted to your time zone. You work through today's deck on the study page and submit the results right away.
