Description


Sometimes you want to remember why a card felt important.

Write quick memos during reviews and revisit them later in a single, chronological timeline.
It’s like a lightweight study diary — built directly into Anki.

Key features

• Attach quick memos to cards while reviewing
• Browse all memos later in a date-based timeline
• Jump from a memo directly to the related note in the Browser

Manual

You need to add new field "_MemoLog" to your card template.
This addon doesn't add this field to keep your template secure.
I created another addon which doesn't need any additional field on your template. → Todo for Anki

How to use

Open the memo panel, write short notes during review, then browse the timeline later.
