v2.0.8.4 update at a glance · Memory Notes’ Auto-Paging now supports separate front/back display times, per-paper dwell multipliers, and automatic difficulty-rating averaging. Hard pages stay on screen longer; easy ones flip past — review becomes naturally more efficient.
What changed in this update?
Have you ever been mid-review and thought, “I need a few more seconds on this one…” only to have the page flip away? Or sat through an easy page that lingered way too long? Until now, Auto-Paging treated every paper the same. Starting in v2.0.8.4, Auto-Paging behaves differently per page, and per side (front/back).
What’s new in Auto-Paging
1. Set front and back display times separately
When you use “flip then advance” (Method 2), you can now keep the front (question) short and give the back (answer) more time — perfect for the recall-then-confirm study pattern.
- Front display time: 0.5 – 600 seconds
- Back display time: 0.5 – 600 seconds
- Both values used in Method 2 (Method 1 uses the front time only)
2. A dwell multiplier for each paper
Set ×2.0 on a hard page, ×0.5 on an easy one — anywhere from 0.1 to 5.0. Open the paper edit screen and enter the value in Auto-paging dwell multiplier; from then on, every Auto-Paging session honors it.
Set it once, and you don’t have to fiddle with the dialog every session.
3. Automatic difficulty-rating average
Turn on “Stay longer on harder pages” and Memory Notes averages your last N ratings per paper (Very Hard → Very Easy) and weights the dwell time automatically. Pages you’ve struggled with get more time without any extra setup.
| Rating | Time multiplier |
|---|---|
| Very Hard | ×2.0 |
| Hard | ×1.5 |
| Normal | ×1.0 |
| Easy | ×0.7 |
| Very Easy | ×0.5 |
Note: per-paper dwell multipliers and difficulty weights are multiplied together. e.g., paper multiplier ×1.5 × difficulty average ×1.5 = final ×2.25.
How to start
Auto-Paging runs in “Random Mode” — the free-flowing study mode without spaced-repetition rating, accessible from a note’s Start Learning menu or via Tag Learning.
- Enter Random Mode and click the ▶ Auto-Paging button
- In the dialog, choose your front time / method / back time / difficulty weighting
- Click “Start”
Your settings are remembered per note (per device), so you don’t have to reconfigure each session.
Good to know
- Papers you’ve mastered fly by; sticky pages get more time — automatically.
- During Method 2 Auto-Paging, you can flip manually if you want to see the answer sooner. The timer resets to the new side (back), so the schedule doesn’t get out of sync.
- Press the prev/next button or the ▶ button again to stop Auto-Paging instantly.
- Per-paper dwell time is clamped between 0.5 and 600 seconds. Multipliers stay within that range no matter how high or low you set them.
Recommended setups
Pre-exam quick review: front 3s · back 8s + “Stay longer on harder pages” works especially well. Pages you’ve already nailed flash by, and the timer naturally pauses on the ones that tripped you up.
First pass on a long note: tweak the per-paper multipliers ahead of time. Your second pass will automatically slow down on new content while breezing through familiar pages.
Reviewing on the move (commute, etc.): Method 2 Auto-Paging with front 5s · back 10s + difficulty weighting ON. Your study session keeps flowing with almost no taps required.
