The familiar part: prompts and answers
A Cueable card still begins with a prompt and the knowledge you want to recall. You can create study material from CSV, import supported Anki decks or use a Cuepack containing a more structured learning experience.
Concise, unambiguous prompts work best. Cueable can improve how material is practised, but it cannot rescue a card that never makes clear what a correct answer means.
Beyond flipping
Cueable includes active-recall formats such as typed responses, Cloze, Scramble, Link, Ghost, Repair, Outline and spoken interview practice. Different formats suit different targets: order, exact wording, relationships, structure or explanation.
- Use Cloze for a key term in context
- Use Scramble for ordered stages
- Use Link for connected ideas
- Use Outline for an essay or long response
- Use interview practice for spoken explanation
Timing still matters
Variety is not a substitute for spacing. Cueable uses an FSRS-based scheduler to estimate when a memory needs another attempt, then combines that estimate with any deadline you set.
That pairing—adaptive timing plus varied retrieval—is what makes Cueable more than a decorative flashcard viewer.
