Checks amount of cards due and average ease of cards in ±X days of intended due date and schedules accordingly. Configuration options can be found in preferences.

However, I got an error.) 2012-10-31: implemented ease balancing as mentioned in "Good idea, but..." added preference dialog I can be contacted at jake [at] sharnoth [dot] com https://github.com/jakeprobst/anki-loadbalancer Thanks to Dariusz Laska for his help in tweaking/testing/refining the balancing algorithm. 2014-12-22: So the AnkiDroid people don't like modifications like this and provide no way to do it proper so I`ll maintain a branch with it: https://github.com/jakeprobst/Anki-Android/tree/loadbalancer ankidroid issue tracker: https://code.google.com/p/ankidroid/issues/detail?id=2152
