🎬 Your year in Anki, told like a story instead of a gray bar chart.
Last year I reviewed a little over 14,000 cards. One night in December (almost midnight, eyes burning, thumb tapping Again, Good, Again), it hit me that I had nothing to show for any of it. Months of reviews, hundreds of hours, and not a single image or number that made me feel like I actually did that this year.
Spotify hands you a Wrapped. Strava draws your year in kilometers. GitHub paints your contribution squares green. Anki, the app I'd spent the most time in by a wide margin, gave me a bar chart that looked like it was from 2005.
That always struck me as backwards: the effort I was proudest of was the one nothing bothered to celebrate. So I built the thing I wanted to see.
🎬 What it does
Memoria Rewind turns your review history into 11 animated, full-screen slides, Spotify-Wrapped style, that you can actually screenshot and share. Run it on whatever window you like: last week, a month, the whole year, or a custom range.
It doesn't just dump numbers. It reads your data and gives it a shape:
- 🧬 a learner persona drawn from your rhythm and volume (something like "The Midday Architect," though yours will differ)
- 🗂️ your decks grouped into real themes (Languages, Sciences, Music…), inferred from their names rather than just listed as folders
- ⭐ your star card and your nemesis (the one you kept getting wrong), with a small tip to tame it
- 📈 retention, time per card, streaks, busiest day, peak hour, and how it all compares to your previous period
- 🎤 a closing punchline worth sharing
✨ "Your word for this year: consistency."
The first time I ran it, that was exactly the feeling I'd been missing: my invisible year finally had a face.
⚡ The AI part (and why it costs nothing extra)
The story is written by an AI, so it reads like someone actually looked at your year instead of printing a template. The part I care about most: you don't need a new API key or a second subscription to get that.
- 💻 Already using the Claude or ChatGPT sub ? Point Memoria Rewind at it and the writing runs through the plan you already pay for, at no extra cost.
- 🔑 Prefer your own key? You can plug in Anthropic, OpenAI, or Gemini instead.
If your chosen provider ever fails, it quietly falls back to the offline narrator, so a Rewind always renders.
💪 You already did the hard part: showing up, quietly, day after day. This just lets you see the year that came out of it.
