About Pocket Note Quiz
You keep study questions and answers in Markdown notes and want to review them one at a time.
Your questions stay in the note where you wrote them. Pocket Note Quiz shows one question, hides its answer, and lets you choose Correct or Wrong after revealing it. You decide whether to apply the results to your source.
The current-note quiz is free and needs no account. Pro adds folder quizzes, dated score reports, and named question-marker presets.

Questions from the current note
Run Start quiz on current note to load question lines containing your marker, which defaults to ?. Answers continue to the next blank line. The parser excludes question lines in frontmatter and fenced code.
Reveal an answer and choose a result
Select Show answer to reveal the answer with Markdown formatting and local links. Choose Correct or Wrong to advance. Closing the quiz doesn't write result marks.
Select wrong or unmarked questions
Only wrong and Only unmarked use the result marks already saved in your source. Clear marks removes trailing result marks from question lines in the loaded scope immediately. It leaves marks within answer text alone.
Score and source marks
The score shows correct, wrong, and total counts. Apply marks to source writes result marks to question lines, replacing old marks and preserving trailing block IDs. Changed or moved questions can be skipped, and the notice reports applied and skipped counts.
Folder quizzes, dated score reports, and named question-marker presets need Pro.
Pro features
Pro costs $5 a month or $15 one time through GitHub Sponsors. One sponsorship turns on Pro in every plugin that has it.
Folder quizzes Pro
Enter a vault-relative folder path and select Load folder to combine Markdown questions from that folder and its subfolders. An empty path selects the vault root. Folder paths are case sensitive.
Dated score reports Pro
Save dated score report (Pro) creates a Markdown note at your vault root with a UTC date, counts, and source paths. It doesn't include questions or answers. Saving a report doesn't apply source marks.
Named question-marker presets Pro
Save your current marker under a name in the settings, then select that name to reuse it. Saving the same name replaces the preset. Presets stay saved when Pro turns off, but their controls need Pro.

Known limits of Pocket Note Quiz
- Answers stop at the next blank line; a question marker within an answer remains answer text.
- The parser has no separate bullet-list question mode.
- Applying source marks can skip questions whose text or line position changed after the quiz loaded.
- Clear marks changes question lines in the loaded scope immediately.
- A quiz keeps the marker used when it loaded, so marker changes need a new quiz.
- Folder paths are case sensitive, and folder quizzes include subfolders.
- Score reports contain counts and source paths, without question or answer text.
- Remote resources in a revealed answer can make Obsidian request their hosts.
- Physical phones, tablets, screen readers, third-party themes, large-vault performance, and device sync conflicts have not been tested.
- Live GitHub payment and device sign-in were not tested; Pro fixtures use a local sponsorship response.

Questions about Pocket Note Quiz
Can I change the question marker?
Yes, set Question marker in the settings to the literal text your question lines contain. A blank setting returns to ?. Start a new quiz after changing it.
When does the quiz change my note?
Choosing Correct or Wrong doesn't write a source mark until you select Apply marks to source. Clear marks changes question lines immediately. Applying results can skip changed, moved, or deleted questions.
Does Pocket Note Quiz work on my phone?
The manifest permits mobile loading, and the README reports tests in phone emulation. Physical phones and tablets haven't been tested. The emulated screen doesn't establish device behavior.
How often does Pro check my sponsorship?
A successful GitHub check is reused for 7 days, and failed checks can retry after 6 hours. Refresh requests an earlier check. Pro can work offline for up to 14 days after a successful check. Sign out or a negative sponsorship answer turns Pro off.
Network use
After you select Sign in with GitHub, the plugin sends client ID, read:user scope and device-flow codes to github.com during sign-in. It sends your token and sponsorship query to api.github.com after sign-in and during later checks, without note text or paths. Revealing an answer with a remote image lets Obsidian request that image from its host.
