Clears review logs using preset time ranges—past hour through past year—or a custom deletion option accessible from the Tools menu.
Resets a selected deck's review statistics via Tools, offering time ranges from the last hour up to ten years, without confirmation and irreversibly.
Implements an adaptive FSRS v5/v6 retention scheduler that minimizes expected total review workload until cards reach long-term retirement, though the addon is now deprecated.
Rewrites card due dates via shifting, stretching, or daily caps, with filtered deck/tag selection, simulation previews, timeline charts, and single-step undo.
Adjusts a failed card's interval by applying a percentage that scales linearly from 100% for short prior intervals down to 25% for long ones, with user-adjustable values.
Adds a chart tracking how many new cards you actually learn each day, with selectable 1-month to all-time ranges and period totals on the deck overview and Congratulations screen.
Sometime, I want to find an old version of my collection. For example, to see how a card type used to be. Sadly, my oldest back-up is usually two monthes old. Of course, this can be solved with a differential backup system; but that is not the point here.
This add-on ensures that we keep at least one back-up by day for the last month, one back-up by month for the past year, and one back-up by year. Those back-ups are saved in the same folder as regular backups.
If you uninstall the add-on, or if you disable it, the current back-up will stay. If you are not interested in them, you'll have to delete them yourself.
If you install this add-on today, you can be kind of sure that you'll have back-ups of your collection as it is this month/year for the future. However, it should be noted that this add-on can not help you to access your collection as it was before you installed the add-on. Indeed, this add-on can not create data which were already deleted. It only ensures that some data are kept.
Anki's backup are far from perfect. For example, they do not contains image. Thus you'll see risk to lose images with this add-ons. Actually, this risk already exists if your images are not synced, and that you delete a note with an image, check media, and then restore a backup.
Back-ups are not synchronized. Which means that if you move to another computer, and don't copy the back-up folder, then this add-on become useless. Indeed, we won't have the back-up files.
As with any backup system, you may think about whether you really want to keep data. If, by accident, you added in anki some private data, and then that you remove it from anki, then those data may still be in the back-up. They will remains in there as long as the back-up exists. Without this add-on, you could be sure that the data would eventually be deleted. With this add-on, if the data are in a yearly backup, then they will never be removed.
This add-on change the method aqt.main.AnkiQt.backup, and calls the previous method.
