This is something I’ve been tackling myself in the language app I’m making https://store.steampowered.com/app/3220820/Bilingual_Crosswo.... Right now, I’ve added a set of front loaded intervals: 2M, 5M, 10M, 20M, 40M, 2H, 6H, 1D, 2D, 4D, 8D, and so on eventually stretching to a full year.

I’ve always felt this setup was a bit arbitrary and considered it a temporary solution. Thanks for saving me some time on research!




Take a look at https://github.com/open-spaced-repetition/

As a quick hack, increase the factor to 2.5 once you reach 1 day. That's what Anki's SM-2 used to use (if only pressing 'good')


This looks like a fun app!
