Oh, you’re describing me.

Your usage of Spaced Repetition sounds like the solution to one of my problems. :-D

And it creates a new problem: Now, I need to look for a PKM that’s based on MD files in the file system and supports SR without relying on (clunky and crash-prone) plug-ins like Obsidian. And has an iOS app. :-(

Are there (other) PKMs that support SR out of the box? And store notes in MD files, locally?

Hm. I should not come here. CRIMP struck again.
