Description

Anki Simulator is an add-on for Anki that lets you simulate Anki progress over time using your cards, deck options and statistics. You can use it to estimate your future workload or to fine-tune and compare deck options.

Why is this awesome?

  • It’s personalized: it loads your actual cards, deck settings and retention rates automatically.
  • It’s fast and easy to use: everything is pre-loaded. Just press simulate!
  • You can compare the effect of different settings on your workload in a fancy chart
  • Anki simulator is the answer to all the β€œAre these the right settings for me?” questions

  • How accurate is it?
    Anki Simulator was carefully written to closely match Anki's scheduling algorithm. Because the add-on uses your actual cards, deck options and statistics, Anki Simulator is able to produce a personalized simulation. If you provide accurate variables, the simulator should do a good job of giving you a rough idea of your future workload. Obviously however, long-term outcomes rely on many factors that can't be implemented in an add-on. The add-on takes some assumptions that may not be applicable in your situation:
  • It does not take into account pressing the 'hard' or 'easy' buttons. The simulator assumes that excluding them both should balance their effects out for a large part. (Also see: 'Performance rates' in the add-on manual)
  • It assumes that your retention rates are correct and will not change in the future, and are the same for every single card of a certain type (learning, lapse, young, mature), regardless of individual difficulty.
  • It assumes that no days are skipped.

  • How to start it?
    Easily open up the Simulator window by clicking the gear button: For more instructions, there is a built-in manual.
