What’s new
Version 2.3.2 · Updated October 5, 2026
This update contains important changes to the Mastery Cycle study mode. The app now ships with a utility that allows you to view your upcoming study load. You can also use the new tool to smooth out the profile of cards due to be reviewed. This helps manage against periods of heavy study load that decreases the effectiveness of cycle based learning. The update also corrects a small error that prevented some cards in the Mastery Cycle of appearing for review. Fixing the error might result in a wave of cards due for review. I suggest that you use the new tool to manage through the wave if the number of cards due post update is overwhelming.
