How Screvi's daily review works, how streaks are counted, and how your review frequency and reminders fit together.

The Daily Review

Your review is always waiting in the app. Open Review any time and click Start Daily Review. Screvi deals you a handful of highlights chosen by spaced repetition, so passages come back right as you are about to forget them. No notification or email required.

For how highlights are chosen and what the buttons do, see Spaced Repetition Review.

Streaks

Every day you complete a review, your streak grows by one. It stays alive as long as you review at least as often as your frequency (below). Reviewing twice in a day counts once.

Go longer than your frequency without reviewing and the streak resets. Your next review starts a new one.

Frequency

Your frequency is your review schedule. Set it under Review > Preferences:

  • Every day
  • Every 3 days
  • Once a week

It does two things: it sets how often reminders are sent when you have them on, and it sets the streak window, so on a weekly schedule you have the whole week to keep your streak.

Change it any time. A live streak is never erased by a schedule change. Moving to a looser schedule gives you more room. Moving to a tighter one applies from that day on.

Reminders

Reminders are optional. Under Review > Preferences, turn on Daily review reminders to get an email on your schedule with highlights to review, or choose Push notifications only to get a nudge on your phone instead. The email has a Mark as reviewed button that logs the review and keeps your streak without opening the app.

Details in Daily Email Digest.

Your Streak Calendar

Review > Streaks shows your current streak and a calendar of every day you reviewed. Tap a day to see the exact highlights from that session, so you can revisit or share them. Your longest streak appears when you finish a session.

In the mobile app, the calendar is under Settings > Review > Reading Calendar.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need notifications on to review?

No. The review is always available in the app. Reminders only nudge you.

Will my streak break if I miss a day?

Only if you go longer than your frequency without reviewing. On a daily schedule, a missed day resets it. On a weekly schedule, you have the whole week.

What happens to my streak if I change my frequency?

Nothing bad. An active streak is kept. A looser schedule gives you more room before it breaks; a tighter one applies from that point on.

Can I see what I reviewed on a past day?

Yes. Tap any reviewed day on the streak calendar.

Does reviewing from the email count?

Yes. Click Mark as reviewed in the digest and the day is logged.
