If you have a deck you need to review daily or every other day, here’s a simple step-by-step guide:
- Create a New Preset
- In Anki, open the deck settings.
- Click the arrow next to “Save” and select Create New Preset.
- Then, click the arrow next to the new preset’s name to switch to it.
- Adjust Advanced Settings
- Scroll down to Advanced Settings.
- Find the Maximum Interval setting and set it to how often you want to see the same card at most.
- Example: Set it to 1 if you want to see the card daily.
- Adjust New Card Settings
- In the New Cards section, you’ll see a place to set the learning steps (the times after you press “Again” or “Good”).
- Format: (Xm, Xh, Xd), where X is the number you want.
- Example: (1m 5m 10m 1d)
- 1m = after 1 minute (when you press Again)
- 5m = after 5 minutes (first Good press)
- 10m = after 10 minutes (next Good press)
- 1d = after 1 day (after another Good)
- Example: (1m 5m 10m 1d)
- You don’t need to manually set a time for “Hard” responses — Anki will automatically use half the interval of “Good.”
- When I was trying to set this up myself, I couldn’t find a clear step-by-step guide. People usually just dropped the Anki manual link, which wasn’t super helpful for beginners. I hope this guide makes it easier for you!
