Smarter Scheduling

~30% fewer reviews.
Same retention.

Most SRS tools use fixed intervals — review every N days regardless of how well you actually know the item. Kanji Kraken uses FSRS, the open-source algorithm behind Anki, which adapts intervals to your actual memory strength.

The result: items you know well get pushed further out, items you struggle with come back sooner. Independent studies show FSRS reduces total review volume by around 30% compared to fixed-interval SRS while maintaining the same retention rate.
