GUIDE
Repeating (later rounds)
Recall a record, pick a rating, save. Here is how to choose between the four ratings, how to read why the next date landed where it did, and how to correct history after the fact.
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
Start by opening the source itself and recalling the content. The answer is not in CurveMora — the recalling happens in the source, and only the outcome is recorded here.
The four ratings
Pick the one closest to how it felt before you checked the content. Rating what you actually retrieved, rather than how obvious it looked once you had read it, is what keeps the schedule honest.
| 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. |
Time, notes and dates
Three optional things can go in alongside the rating.
- Time this session — added to your focus log, and used to estimate the next round.
- A repetition 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.
The next date, and why
Saving shows the next due date. Open “Why this date” beneath it and each rule that applied is spelled out, one line at a time.
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 stability, difficulty and lapses. The more stability has grown, the longer the intervals; a record with many lapses extends more slowly.
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. The same repetition is never stored twice.
