How to disable daily reset?

I want the cards to be scheduled based on real time. If the reset is at 5 PM and I study a card that takes 1 day, I want it to appear exactly 24 hours later, not 1 hour after I learned it with the reset.

As far as I know, there is no such function.
You can set a reset time that is more suitable for you.

There must be a better way

You can gather unwanted cards into a filtered deck to ignore them.

Creating Manually

Doing it manually is a bother, and I don’t follow a schedule. I can’t explain, but this system makes me sick. I need it to be real-time, or maybe I’d settle for the longest reset time of 23 hours :face_with_spiral_eyes:.

Sorry, but any interval that crosses the day boundary will be converted from minutes or hours to 1d, so those cards will be available at the start of the next day, just like your cards that have a 1d interval (and all the rest of your cards).

If you want to save your Learn cards for later in the day, there are lots of ways to do that – burying and unburying when you’re ready, pulling them into a Filtered deck for a timeout, etc. – but you’ll have to do them manually.

It seems unlikely your studying is harmed by these cards being available a few hours early. Perhaps it would be better not to stress about this – especially if that is impacting your health.

This add-on of mine serves this purpose and others. It’s kind of a ‘versatile tool’ for situations like ‘study later’

@cjdduarte This add-on should work here too?

The behavior could be simulated with my addon, but I don’t think it would be the best solution. It would require manual adjustments and could cause complications with cards being studied at different times.

The best native solution would be to set the card reset time to when you’re usually asleep, like 4:00 or 5:00 AM. This would prevent cards from showing up just one hour after the reset, but they still wouldn’t appear exactly 24 hours later. However, this would be the most practical solution within Anki’s default functionality.
