>That leads you to have too many cards to review on a daily basis.

Anki Review Hell.

I created Memory Hammer to solve this[1], It's an always on E-paper Anki client on a Raspberry Pi Zero. I can now review cards during small breaks from work regularly, Instead of a dedicated review schedule where its easy to get overwhelmed.

You might like to know that I study using Ankidroid on a Barnes and Noble Nook E-Ink device. I absolutely love it.

It syncs with desktop Anki for adding and editing notes.

That's neat! You'd be having better latency than memory hammer but loosing out on always-on feature which IMO helps is addressing review hell.

I'm planning a companion mobile app for memwory hammer which would help me choose decks, Say if I want to revise a particular subject or language for test.

I actually had considered leaving it always on, and fashioning a small stand with a charger. This conversation might motivate me to do that!

How often do you sync?

If a deck run out cards, It tries to retrieve new cards for review every 20 minutes.
