GUIDE
Repeating (later rounds)
Recall a record and choose the rating closest to the result. This page explains the four ratings and how they change the next timing.
Ways in
The repetition screen is the record's own detail page. Four routes lead there.
- Recall on a card in today's agenda
- A day on the calendar, through its breakdown
- A row in the to-do list
- A record listed on a source card in the library
Open the source itself, recall the content there, and record the outcome in CurveMora.
The four ratings
Pick the rating closest to how recall felt before you checked the content. Recording what you actually retrieved helps the next timing reflect your current state.
| Rating | When | Effect on the next date |
|---|---|---|
| Again | Almost nothing came back | Returns to a relearning interval and comes round again soon. |
| Hard | It came, but it took effort | Sets a shorter interval than standard. |
| Good | Recalled without strain | Extends by the standard interval. |
| Easy | It came straight away | Extends the interval considerably. |
Choosing a rating does not record it. Each rating then shows how long until the next round, such as “Next in 7 days”; check it, then press “Record this rating”. Until you press it you can change your choice as often as you like. The days are a guide: breaks and your daily capacity can move the date.
Time, notes and dates
Three optional things can go in alongside the rating. On the web, open “Add time, date or a note” above the ratings to fill them in; what you entered stays listed beside it when it is closed.
- Time this session — added to your total time in Progress, and used to estimate the next round.
- Note — what you noticed, or what to check next time. Note text is never sent to AI.
- Record for another day — for entering yesterday's round after the fact.
When signed in to the native app, you can enter “Date”, “Time this session”, “Importance for this iteration”, and “Note” before choosing a rating. Pick the date from the device’s calendar; no day after today can be chosen, a blank date records today, and “Back to today” clears it. Pick the time as hours and minutes on a one-minute wheel, or switch to “Type it in” to enter numbers; left blank, the app records how long the screen was open. Choose importance from 1 to 5 (Low to Critical), or tap the same choice again to leave it unset. Notes hold up to 2,000 characters.
If the native app loses its connection, it saves the entered date, importance, and note with the rating on the device and sends the same details when the connection returns.
The next date, and why
Saving shows the next due date, two bars comparing the last gap with the next one, and how the stage moved (such as “Stage 5 → 6”). Open “Why this date” beneath it and each rule that applied is spelled out, one line at a time.
Beside it is the way back into the rest of the day: “N left today” while today still has some, and “Back to today” once it does not. The number is counted the way the agenda counts, so it matches the list it takes you to.
You might read that the repetition moved before a break, or moved within its allowed window to balance the agenda. When a date is not where you expected, this is the first place to look.
The next due date at the top of the screen can also be adjusted by hand: “Adjust next date” opens a small popup, and the date you pick there is what the plan uses.
Below it, Defer this record pushes only this one round out. Choose 3, 7 or 30 days, or pick a date. Unlike adjusting the date by hand, the repetition count does not advance, so it resumes on the same step. Cancel the deferral to undo it.
Memory state shows the stage, the next interval, difficulty and lapses. The stage is how far up the ladder of intervals the record has come, drawn as eight dots. Difficulty is given as a word (Light, Moderate or Demanding), and a record with many lapses extends more slowly. Under the record's name at the top, the stage appears again with the days since the last round and the interval that was planned.
Memory over time draws one bar per round: the days since the round before. Newer rounds are lower down, and bars that keep getting longer mean the intervals are stretching — the record is settling. Each round shows its rating mark and its number of days on the right. A round rated Again has a hatched bar.
The last row, Next, is the gap the schedule has planned. The fill inside its dotted outline is how much has passed since the last round, with the days to go on the right. Above the chart you can read how many times longer the next gap is than the last. The chart shows up to the eight latest rounds; earlier ones are in the history below.
Repetition history
The history sits at the bottom of the screen. The initial registration is the last entry, with the first round, second round and so on stacked above it. Every entry carries confidence, importance and time spent.
Each entry can be edited or deleted. Picked the wrong rating, or recorded it on the wrong day? Fix that entry and the schedule after it is recalculated. Deleting works the same way, with the memory history recomputed.
Once there are two rounds or more, a small chart shows how confidence has moved. Whether the rounds are getting easier is readable there.
Setting something aside
Anything you have decided to leave alone for a while can be taken out of the plan with Pause at the bottom of the screen. Unlike archiving, the memory record is left intact, so resuming picks up where it stopped.
While paused, the rating buttons are replaced by “This record is paused” and a button to resume. Pausing a parent takes its focus items and subsections with it, and resuming brings them back.
Paused records stay in the library, sunk to the bottom of their source card and marked as paused. The paused count at the top of the library filters down to just those.
| Way to stop | Memory record | Getting back |
|---|---|---|
| Defer | Kept | Returns on its own, on the date you chose. |
| Pause | Kept | Resume, from the library or the record itself. |
| Archive | Out of the plan | Restore from the library's archive. |
When you are offline
Rounds can be recorded without a connection. What you save is held on the device, the screen says so, and a provisional next date is worked out on the spot.
It sends itself once you are back online and the provisional date is replaced by the confirmed one. If a send overlaps with a retry, CurveMora reuses the confirmed result and treats it as one round.
What is left of today cannot be counted while you are offline, so the way back reads “Back to today”, without a number.
