Turn RemNote flashcard reviews into a 16-bit RPG. Today's due cards are a monster with hit points, every card you know takes it down a notch, and the day is over when it falls.
Nothing in here makes reviewing lighter. It makes it clearer how far along you are, and gives you a reason to come back tomorrow.
🐉 Boss of the day. Your due-card load, drawn as one of 26 hand-made monsters. Its HP is the work ahead, and the damage you deal depends on how well you answered, not on how fast. Which creature turns up depends on how heavy the day is compared to your usual one, so a real boss stays rare: roughly one day in twenty, and one in seven when the pile is brutal.
⚔️ Battle HUD in the queue. HP and XP bars, damage numbers rising off the monster, combo counter, day streak. Optional chiptune sounds.
🐣 Companions. Eight of them, three poses each. Yours stands in front of the monster and lunges at every card you complete.
🎯 Daily quests. Three drawn every day from a deck of eighteen, so the goals change instead of becoming wallpaper.
🏆 Deeds and bestiary. Permanent milestones, and a 26-monster collection: dark silhouette until you meet it, full colour once you take it down.
📅 Exam countdown. Decks with an exam date show the days left.
🎨 Shop. Coins buy four screen themes (Pocket Green, Crypt, Forge, Parchment), companions and streak tokens. Never stat boosts. It is slow on purpose: a full day pays 35 coins and the cheapest item costs 250, so the first one arrives after a week of studying rather than on the second evening.
🌍 Italian and English, following RemNote's language unless you pick one.
- Open the review queue as usual. A game strip appears above the cards.
- The monster's HP comes from the queue itself — whatever RemNote lined up for you today, so the number always matches the app. It is therefore unknown until you start a session. Each answer deals damage: 5 to 10 XP and 3 to 7 damage depending on the button you press, doubled on a 20% critical hit.
- The first time a card falls in a day it pays a bonus of 15 XP.
- Complete quests, take down the boss, earn coins.
- At local midnight the day resets. The streak, the deeds and the bestiary do not.
Writing notes also pays: 10 XP per five-minute block, up to 60 a day. Both XP sources are capped, because the point is not to grind.
Click Remquest in the sidebar. It opens as a floating box and stays put while you move around; click again to close it, or use the × in its corner. Drag it by the dotted strip along its top edge and it opens there next time; it cannot be dragged off screen, and the command Remquest: bring the panel back puts it in the corner if it ever ends up somewhere you cannot reach.
- Journal: level, XP today, cards done, streak, boss of the day, exams ahead, three daily quests
- Chronicle: the last thirty days as a strip, plus permanent deeds
- Bestiary: all 26 monsters, met and defeated
- Shop: coins, next unlock, themes and companions
- Settings: language, and wiping your progress
No stat boosts for sale. The monster is your review load. An XP multiplier would not weaken it, it would drain the weight out of every single card. The shop sells looks and conveniences, never numbers. There is a test enforcing it.
No guilt. The companion sleeps, it never gets sick. Streak tokens absorb a missed day. People quit when something broke in their life, not out of boredom, and whoever comes back after a week should not find a scolding waiting.
No speed rewards. In spaced repetition the effortful recall is the one that sticks. Answering slowly and correctly is worth exactly as much as answering at once.
Language. Italian or English. By default it follows RemNote.
Full-screen flashcards. Widens the queue to the whole window.
Danger zone. Wipes XP, level, coins, streak, bestiary, deeds and history. It asks twice and says exactly what you are about to lose. Your notes and cards are never touched.
The plugin makes no network requests and sends nothing anywhere. All state lives

Remquest is free and stays free. If it made a wall of due cards easier to climb:
