When was the last time you tried? Anki used a static algorithm (SuperMemo 2) before the new FSRS - which is dramatically different.

In the short term (first day), I think it's still better to set your own intervals (typicall 1 minute, then 5, then 10). But after that, the algorithm optimizes for reminding you just before forgetting. Highly recommend giving it a try.

I try Anki every couple of years because it has an app and can sync. I also tried fsrs and rage quitted after a few tests. These people can get high and mighty on their algos and research. If they'd just add a manual interval mode they'd contribute a lot more to humanity.

    I guess what you need is Set Due Date, which allows you manually schedule cards in Anki.

      In my own tool I can do "+10%" or "+2 days"

        Good feature! I guess someone could implement it via an add-on of Anki.
