Make your Anki cards appear more often when you need them
DeckOwl turns your PDFs, slides and notes into flashcards with spaced repetition, and Plus lets you export them to Anki.
How Anki decides when a card comes back
Learning how to make how to make Anki cards appear more often is really about ratings, because each answer sets the next interval. Again sends a card back into the learning steps, Hard grows the interval slowly, and Good or Easy push it further out.
- Rate a card Again or Hard when you miss it, so it returns sooner.
- Raise the maximum reviews per day if due cards keep piling up unseen.
- Lower the interval modifier in deck options to bring reviews forward.
- Avoid rating everything Easy, which stretches intervals and delays repeats.
Spaced repetition built in
Cards you miss return sooner and cards you know stretch out, without setting intervals by hand.

Rate cards honestly
Mark cards Again or Hard when you miss them, and the schedule adjusts from there.
Settings matter too. Deck options control new cards per day and maximum reviews per day, and the interval modifier scales every interval at once. Lowering that modifier brings reviews sooner across the whole deck.
