How to quiz yourself on questions in your Obsidian notes
As of October 2026, Obsidian can fold headings to hide answer sections while you review a note manually. Folding hides text; you keep track of your answers yourself. Pocket Note Quiz adds answer reveals, result buttons, and a score for question lines in your current note.
Background
Pocket Note Quiz reads question and answer blocks from your Markdown note. Its README asks you to separate blocks with blank lines, so you don't need a separate card file.
2 ways to do it
Fold answer sections for a manual review
Put each question in a heading and its answer below that heading. Use the arrow beside the heading to fold the answer section, then unfold it after recalling your answer.
Obsidian enables folding by default. You can assign hotkeys to Fold more and Fold less to fold or unfold the section at your cursor.
- limits
- Folding controls section visibility; this review method leaves scoring and result recording to you.

Common questions
Why did my second question become part of the first answer?
An answer continues until a blank line, even when the answer text contains the question marker. Add a blank line before the next question block and start another quiz.
Can I review just the questions I missed last time?
Apply source marks after completing a quiz, then start another quiz and select Only wrong. That filter uses saved source marks, so unsaved results from an earlier quiz won’t select questions.
Can I study without an internet connection?
Free quiz operations need no GitHub account. Use local attachments because revealing a remote image can make Obsidian request its host. Pro has an offline window of up to 14 days after a successful sponsorship check.
