Daily Digest

Lektr sends you a daily email with highlights due for review — powered by the same FSRS spaced repetition algorithm used in the review interface.

What You Receive

Each digest includes:

  • 5 highlights selected by FSRS priority (due → unreviewed → random)
  • Stats bar showing how many are due and your total library count
  • One-click review button that takes you straight to the app

Configuring Your Digest

You can customize your digest in Settings → Notifications:

tip

Set your timezone to match your morning routine. The digest works best when it arrives with your coffee ☕

How Scheduling Works

Unlike a simple server-time cron, Lektr delivers digests at your preferred hour in your timezone:

  • A server in UTC delivers an 8 AM digest to a America/New_York user at 8 AM ET (1 PM UTC)
  • A duplicate prevention window ensures you never get two digests within 20 hours

Disabling the Digest

Toggle the digest off in Settings → Notifications, or use the "Manage digest preferences" link at the bottom of any digest email.

Requires Email

Daily Digest requires SMTP to be configured. If you're self-hosting, see the Email Setup Guide to configure your mail server.
