The Flashcard Home is a central location designed to help you understand your learning progress and prioritize your studies. You can get to it by clicking Flashcards in the left sidebar.
Starting your daily practice
At the top of the Home tab, is an overview (Due Reviews) of what you're aiming for today. To jump into the global practice queue and start studying everything that’s currently due in all topics, click the blue Practice [X] Cards button located inside the Today's Goal box.
If you'd rather skip the page entirely and get straight to practicing, press Shift+Ctrl+L (Shift+Cmd+L on a Mac), or click the number of due cards in the sidebar instead of the Flashcards entry itself.
On the right of the overview, a graph shows how many cards you've studied on each day of the past week.
RemNote tracks two separate targets here, a daily goal and a streak goal. The streak goal is the one to hit first, and it's what keeps your streak alive on a day when you don't have much time. Once you've got that momentum, you can keep going until you reach your full daily goal. To change either target or to look at your practice history, read Goals and Streaks.
Tip: For more detailed statistics (your weekly history graph, total time spent, and a breakdown of your answer choices), click the Stats tab at the top of the Flashcards page.
Documents section
Below the summary, you’ll find a list of all your documents and folders, sorted by priority, along with any upcoming exams. If a folder or document contains subfolders or subdocuments, you can display them by clicking the small grey icon to its left.
You can change a document’s priority by clicking the … button on the right and choosing Priority. See Setting Priorities and Disabling Flashcards for what the priority levels actually do.To study just that document, click its Practice button; the … button holds the rest of its options.
Studying for an exam
If you are preparing for an upcoming exam using the Exam Scheduler, the Flashcard Home changes to keep that deadline in view. For more information about using the exam scheduler in RemNote, read Preparing for an Exam.
Exams Tab & Prioritization: Your upcoming exams take priority in the global queue and sit at the top of the documents list. Click the Exams tab for a summary of all your test dates and the daily workload each one projects.
Learning new content: Any new cards you need to learn - whether imported, AI-generated, or manually created and spread out in the exam scheduler - can be found in the Learn New Content section under Today's Goal. This dedicated space keeps your new material completely separate from your due reviews, ensuring that fresh cards sit neatly on top of your regular queue. By organizing unlearned cards this way, you can easily find and practice them at your own pace, giving you full control over exactly when to introduce new concepts into your long-term spaced-repetition workflow.
Learn warnings & catch-up periods: If you fall behind schedule, or if you add a large batch of new cards to an exam, the Flashcard Home will display a warning banner. It will automatically suggest an adjusted daily goal or a temporary Catch-Up Period to safely guide you back on track before introducing new concepts.
The Study Plan: Clicking a scheduled exam from the Flashcard Home opens its study plan, a timeline of everything between now and exam day and how far along you are.
