Revise is a command-line program used to schedule the review of items using spaced repetition.
Like other spaced-repetition software (Anki, Mnemosyne), the scheduling algorithm is based on the FSRS algorithm. Unlike other spaced-repetition software, this is not flashcard-based. An “item” in “revise” is just a description of the thing you want to review. The actual information to be reviewed is assumed to be elsewhere (in a text file somewhere, or in some note-taking software, or written down in a notebook, or maybe carved into clay tablets).
All the data is stored in a sqlite database in the data dir.
This is free and open source software.
