Simple Note Review

Simple and flexible plugin for note review, resurfacing, and repetition.

IMPORTANT: this plugin uses Dataview plugin as its search engine. Please make sure you have Dataview plugin installed.

Is this a spaced repitition plugin?

Not quite.

This is a plugin for people who want to review, resurface, and rediscover their notes, but do not want to build a rigid system with a schedule.

The philosophy is: "define a set of notes and review them at your own pace".

How does it work?

Define a note set based on tags, folders, or a dataviewJS query.

Simple Note Review can create a noteset with a flexible set of rules: tags and/or folders, creation date, or even a dataviewJS query. A note can be in any number of note sets.

Use toolbar or commands for reviewing

When you start a review of a noteset for the first time, the plugin creates a persistent queue with all the notes in this noteset.

You can proceed reviewing notes in order, or choose a random one.

If you want to start a fresh review, reset the noteset queue with corresponding button on the sidebar or a command.

IMPORTANT: review queue does not update automatically, so it's always best to reset the queue when starting a new review!

sidebar

Review or skip note

To review or skip a note, click button on a sidebar or use a corresponding command. Skipping a note removes it from a current review queue; it will be back when you reset the queue.

Change review frequency for notes or exclude them from reviews

You can optionally set each note's review frequency in the sidebar on via command:

  • high
  • normal
  • low
  • ignore (exclude from all reviews)

What does "current note set" mean?

It is a note set you are currently reviewing. Since one note can be in any number of note sets, the plugin needs to understand which queue to use.

Noteset Stats

You can see noteset stats in settings or in sidebar.
