Description

Cat Card Timer – See Your Review Speed In Real Time

Cat Card Timer is a simple, lightweight add-on that makes your reviews more intentional. Every time you flip a card, a small timer appears in the corner, showing how long this review is taking compared to the last time you saw the same card – with a little cat quietly watching over your progress.

Instead of guessing whether you are speeding up, slowing down, or staying the same, you get instant feedback on your timing. Over days and weeks, this makes it much easier to notice patterns, tighten up slow habits, or deliberately slow down when you’re rushing and making mistakes.

The cat is just there for fun – a small animated companion that makes the timer feel less like a stopwatch and more like a friendly nudge to stay focused.

What Cat Card Timer does

  • Shows a live timer when you reveal the answer to a card.
  • Compares your current total review time to the previous total time for that card.
  • Colors the current time differently when you are faster or slower than last time.
  • Keeps everything out of the way in a small popup in the top right corner.
  • Adds a small animated cat next to the popup for a bit of extra motivation.

Why this is useful

  • Helps you build a sense of how long β€œgood” recall should feel.
  • Makes it obvious when you are hesitating or overthinking certain cards.
  • Encourages you to improve your pace without turning reviews into pure speed-grinding.
  • Lets you see real improvement over time as your current times gradually beat your previous ones.

How to use

Install the add-on, restart Anki, and start reviewing as usual. When you flip a card, the timer and cat appear in the top right corner. That’s itβ€”no setup required. Just pay attention to how your current time compares to your previous time and adjust your habits as you like.
