The Come Through plugin enables users to create and review flashcards using the FSRS (Free Spaced Repetition Scheduler) algorithm. It introduces a unique way to define flashcard fronts and backs using custom code blocks inside note sections, with each side linked via a shared ID. This structure allows cards to span across multiple notes while maintaining clear pairings. Users can organise cards into decks, initiate reviews from the ribbon or command palette, and enjoy a minimal YAML-based syntax for flexibility. It's especially useful for learners, students, or professionals who rely on spaced repetition to retain information over time.

Sort by Retrievability
Retrievability is the estimated probability that you will be able to recall a review unit right now, i.e., the likelihood you will rate Hard, Good, or Easy. It’s often recommended to review your content sorted by ascending retrievability when you have a large backlog, i.e., when you haven’t rated in a while (see the Ratings left in the new info views below), because you are then rating the content you are least likely to remember (according to the algorithm) first.
You can toggle sort order between due and retrievability with the Order by retrievability item in the More options menu of the review view or set the sort order via the Command palette (see below).
- Sorting is per open review tab/window, meaning that you can be reviewing one queue in one tab/window sorted by retrievability while other tabs/windows are simultaneously open for other review queues sorted by, e.g., due date.
- Review units with a retrievability over 95% are considered done and are therefore not included in the queue when sorting by retrievability (when sorting by due date, however, the same unit might be included if it is in fact due).
Review Info
In order to view various info about the current review queue and review unit there is now
- a table (that can be toggled on/off) shown at the bottom when reviewing, showing the most relevant info, and
- a modal window showing all available info.

| Name | Shown inline | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Total units | No | The total number of review units in the current queue. |
