An Anki 2.1 addon which automatically adjusts the new lapse interval.

Anki-autoLapseNewInterval

An Anki2 addon by eshapard which I made to work with Anki21. The addon automatically adjusts the new interval to target an 85% review success rate. A more in-depth description can be found on eshapard's code blog.

Changes

While eshapard's code blog mentions that the addon might work with Anki21 if you comment out a particular line, I discovered that lapses are rarely registered as such, and so the addon only adjusted the new interval on the first time you run it, and never again, because even if I lapsed 50 cards, they would not be detected on Anki21.

I don't know if this is due to the Anki21 migration, an original bug in the Anki2 addon, or the author's intention. From reading his post about how he intended it to work, it is very likely it is one of the first two. What I did was modify the SQLite queries to correctly detect lapsed cards and correctly calculate the success rate. I also added the option to allow the addon to work in the background without informing the user of the changes it made.

Installation

Create a folder called autoLapseNewInterval inside Anki2/addons21 (usually located in C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming on Windows) and place __init__.py inside that folder. If you're using older version of Anki, make sure to use one of the legacy releases appropriate for your version instead.

Usage

For more in-depth information on what the addon does, you should read eshapard's original post (backup). You can adjust the change_silently variable in the code settings to allow the addon to make changes silently without prompting you.

anki-autolapsenewinterval's Issues

low new interval %

hello, the addon keeps lowering the new interval % lower and lower, from 50 to 40 and sometimes lower. I am suspicious the addon is including the "relearn" phase. ie when i lapse a card i repeat the card once 45 minutes later and again 1 day later as part of my lapse settings. after i get the card correct those two times,, the new interval % takes effect..

can you confirm if it is ignoring the relearn phase? i am suspicious that my lowering new interval % is because i often get the card wrong twice in a row..

the idea of the addon is to tweak ur new interval to get 85% success on post lapse reviews, so this should not include relearning, only the success rate of the cards scheduled to a new interval.

[FYI] scheduler: Dynamic Lapse Interval (alpha)

https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/678594073

Just FYI: Another, very interesting lapse scheduling add-on that treats cards differently depending on the interval length.

Configuration doesn't work

Hey,
"change_silently": false,
"ignore_silently": true,
both don't work at my end.
When I start up Anki I always have to go through numerous pop-up windows
where I just get notified about no changes.
Kind of anoying 😄

regards :)

Will this work on android?

Hi Daed,

Would this work on Ankidroid?

Many thanks

ankiweb

Thank you so, so very much for this!!! I too noticed that the add-on stopped working properly with more recent Anki versions. I ddin't know enough to fix it. IIRC, it did work with the first versions of 2.1.

Would you consider uploading it to ankiweb so that more people can profit from it? Perhaps you need consent from eshapard.

Only adjust based on mature cards?

Hi there,

Thanks for developing this. It's awesome. I'm wondering if there is a tweak I can make in the code that would only adjust the lapse interval based on lapses for mature cards (>21 days). TLDR this means you can use higher graduating / minimum intervals to make Anki much less effort, without skewing the stats.

Cheers,

Too long file name

When I try to extract the zip file to put the files into the newly created addon folder Windows tells me that recommendations.somenumbers.css has a filename that is too long. Therefore I cannot extract it.

Anki error 84dcaa86 (Couldn't fix with_init_.py)

This happened early today, I already restarted my windows a couple of times, I was at Anki 2.1.29 when it first happened, and updated it to 2.1.40 and 2.1.44 but both of them did not even open due to https://forums.ankiweb.net/t/windows-update-broke-anki/1822.

So I downloaded the 32 bit version of 2.1.35 and the (84dcaa86) of Anki 2.1.29 was still there. I tried this fix: #4
But it did not help (I created a folder in addons with the_init_.py file inside it)

My main concern is for the Reschedule addon, it is fundamental in my workflow, although I liked pomodoro timer too. Without the reschedule I'll certainly get into an ease hell. Some other addons like killstreaks seems to be working fine, although I disabled all of them and left only Customize keyboards, pomo (which isn't working), and Reschedule (which isn't working)

Please help me out! I have 700+ reviews to take care of today and my studies are heavily dependent on Anki and this add-on.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
