Project description
memotica
An easy, fast, and minimalist space repetition application for the terminal
Features
- Markdown support for flashcards.
- Support for sub-decks for a better organization.
- Advanced spaced repetition with the SM2 algorithm.
- Keyboard-First navigation.
- Easy to add, edit and delete decks and flashcards.
WIP
memotica is nearly ready for use, but there are some features that I would like to implement before reaching version v1.0.0
:
- Customizable space repetition algorithm.
- Import command.
- Interoperability with Anki.
- Better flashcards management.
- Basic statistics.
- Visual indicators.
Motivation
Recently, I began to study German and a bit of Japanese. At the same time I was also thinking of playing a bit more with textual. After encountering some issues with the Anki application on Linux, I decided that it would be a great idea to create a similar application more tailored for my needs and usage.

Installation
memotica automatically creates a directory in the most appropriate location based on your operating system. This directory contains a SQLite database where all your decks and flashcards are stored. You can learn more about how this is done here.
Using pip
pip install memotica
With pipx
(recommended)
pipx install memotica
Usage
Once memotica is installed, you should have the memotica
command available. To start the TUI simply run:
memotica
Or, if you want to see the help message and other available commands, run:
memotica --help
Once the TUI is displayed, you can:
- Display the help message by pressing
F1
. - Add a new deck by pressing
ctrl+n
. - Add flashcards with
ctrl+a
.
After you've added flashcards, select a deck in the deck tree and press ctrl+s
to begin the review process.

I took inspiration and implement various aspects of memotica by reviewing and studying the source code from harlequin.sh.
