Blocks new cards on Saturdays and Sundays while keeping review cards available, syncing deck setting changes through AnkiWeb across devices.
Displays a configurable, color-coded countdown timer during reviews that can be paused or resumed by clicking and optionally auto-reveals the answer when time expires.
Opens the first due card of a selected deck at launch and automatically advances through a queue of decks after each one is finished.
Locks Anki until a chosen study goal—reviews, correct answers, timer, or finishing a deck—is met, using passwords or blind locks, with strict-mode enforcement, progress HUD, and local stats.
Times Pomodoro study sessions with fillable progress and review-counter bars, color-coded answer segments, optional rest periods, pause/resume, notices, and configurable goals, colors, and screen controls.
Plays your own focus music and runs a Pomodoro timer inside Anki, tracking streaks, tomato-garden progress, and shareable study recaps.
Pause New keeps your new cards from piling up all at once.
When you're studying and too many cards stack up in your learning queue (the ones you're still trying to memorize), this add-on quietly stops showing you new cards until you've worked through that backlog. Once you've cleared it, new cards start coming again automatically. The result: you learn new cards in small, manageable batches instead of drowning in a huge pile at once.
It only changes how many new cards appear — it never touches your card schedules or review timing, so it's safe to use alongside FSRS.
Just study like normal. By default, once 10 cards are in your learning queue, new cards pause. When you've cleared that queue back down to 0, new cards resume. There's nothing to click — it happens on its own.
You can also pause on demand: press P while reviewing to stop new cards early (handy when you hit a card you want to step away from). Press P again to resume, or just keep going and it resumes by itself once your learning queue is cleared.
Open Tools → Add-ons → Pause New → Config to change any of these:
10.0 means "finish the whole learning queue before new cards come back." Default: 0..* means every deck. To limit it to one deck, type part of that deck's name, for example Japanese. (This is matched against the deck you press Study on.)true.P. Set to "" to disable. Examples: P, Ctrl+P, Shift+N.Provided as-is, with no promise of ongoing updates. It may stop working on future Anki versions.
