Decks 2.5.0 Release Notes

🚀 Major Addition: Cram mode

Got an exam tomorrow? Decks 2.5.0 adds Cram — 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 ⋯ 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 — 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 — 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 ⋯ menu and it now reads Resume cram — 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.
