Review Reminder

A sidebar dashboard plugin for Obsidian that shows notes due for review — grouped by urgency — with built-in spaced repetition.

---

Features

• 📋 Sidebar dashboard — Notes grouped into 4 urgency buckets:
  • 🔴 Overdue — past due date
  • 🟠 Due Today
  • 🟡 Upcoming — within configurable threshold
  • 🟢 Later — further out
• ✅ Mark as Reviewed — Click to advance through spaced repetition levels. The plugin auto-calculates the next review date and updates your frontmatter.
• ⚙️ Fully customizable — Configure property names, intervals, and thresholds in settings.
• 📊 Status bar — Shows overdue and today counts at a glance.
• 🔔 Startup notification — Optional notice when Obsidian opens with overdue notes.
• 🎨 Dark & light mode — Styled with native Obsidian CSS variables.

How It Works

Add two frontmatter properties to any note:

---
review_next: 2025-03-01
review_freq: 0
---

Property	Type	Description
review_next	Date (YYYY-MM-DD)	When this note should next be reviewed
review_freq	Integer	Current review level (0 = new, increments on each review)

Note: Property names are fully customizable in Settings.

Spaced Repetition Schedule

The default schedule (customizable in Settings):

After Level	Wait (days)	Cumulative Day
0 (New)	1	Day 1
1 (1st pass)	6	Day 7
2 (2nd pass)	9	Day 16
3 (3rd pass)	19	Day 35
4+ (Evergreen)	75	~Day 110

You can define your own intervals as a comma-separated list in Settings, e.g. 1, 3, 7, 14, 30, 60.
