## What it is
An Obsidian.md community plugin that implements spaced repetition for flashcards and entire notes, supporting FSRS and SM-2 scheduling algorithms. Flashcards are written in plain Markdown using single-line, multi-line, reversed, and cloze styles, with scheduling data stored inside the notes themselves.

## Use cases
- review flashcards inside Obsidian notes
- create cloze deletion cards from highlighted text
- schedule note reviews to fight the forgetting curve
- organize flashcard decks with tags or folders
- study with the FSRS spaced repetition algorithm
- embed images, LaTeX, and code blocks in flashcards

## When to choose
- you already take notes in Obsidian and want integrated spaced repetition
- you want flashcards stored as plain Markdown in your own vault
- you need both flashcard and full-note review in one tool
- you want modern scheduling algorithms like FSRS

## When to avoid
- you need a standalone flashcard app independent of a note editor
- you want mobile-first flashcard review with native apps
- you need cloud sync of scheduling data across devices out of the box
- you prefer Anki's ecosystem of shared decks and add-ons
