Description

A fork of Anki Terminator V2 by Shigeyuki, extended with native Open Evidence integration and a full UI overhaul — built specifically for medical students using Anki for USMLE and clinical review.

Open Evidence fork by Alaa Taha & Jerry Shen

⚕️ Open Evidence Integration

Open Evidence is a medical AI trained on peer-reviewed literature. This fork embeds it directly into the Anki sidebar so you never need to leave the app.

• 5 one-click USMLE preset queries — instantly ask about the current card: – Mechanism: pathophysiology and mechanism of action – Board Pearl: high-yield exam facts – Distinguish: how to tell this apart from similar conditions – Presentation: classic signs, symptoms, and clinical picture – Management: workup, treatment, and follow-up

• Auto-send — automatically fires a query every time you flip a card, so context loads before you even think to ask

• Per-card chat sessions — each card maintains its own conversation history; switching cards doesn't lose your thread

• Configurable default preset — pick which query fires automatically via a combo box in the toolbar

Requires a free Open Evidence account. Log in once in the embedded browser and the session is remembered.

🤖 All Original AI Modes Included

Everything from the original Anki Terminator is still here:

ChatGPT · Claude · Google Gemini · Perplexity · DeepSeek · Grok · DuckDuckGo AI · Bing Chat · ImageFX · and more

Use any AI mode from the same sidebar — switch between them instantly with the AI picker button.

🎨 UI Overhaul

• Accent colour bar for quick visual mode identification • Animated loading spinner while AI responds • AI name displayed on the toggle button so you always know which mode is active • Streamlined toolbar shared across all AI modes

⌨️ How to Use

  1. Click the AI button in Anki's top toolbar (or press Ctrl+G) to open the sidebar
  2. Click the AI button in the top-left of the sidebar to open the AI picker
  3. Select Open Evidence (or any other AI)
  4. For Open Evidence: click a preset button to query the current card, or enable auto-send for hands-free use

⚠️ Notes

• This is a fork — it conflicts with the original Anki Terminator V2 (do not install both) • Open Evidence requires you to be logged in via the embedded browser • All other AI modes (ChatGPT, Claude, etc.) require you to be logged into those services as well

    • Linux: ~/.local/share/Anki2/addons21/
  3. Copy this entire folder into addons21/ — name the folder anything you want (e.g. anki_terminator_oe).
  4. Open Anki. The addon loads automatically.

Using Open Evidence

  1. Click the AI button in Anki's top toolbar (or use Ctrl+G) to open the sidebar.
  2. Inside the sidebar, click the AI button (top-left) to open the AI picker menu.
  3. Select Open Evidence from the list.
  4. The 5 medical preset buttons appear: Mechanism · Board Pearl · Distinguish · Presentation · Management.
  5. Click any preset to instantly send a USMLE-focused query about the current card to Open Evidence.
  6. Enable auto-send (checkbox in the sidebar toolbar) to automatically query Open Evidence each time you flip a card.

You need to be logged in to Open Evidence in the embedded browser for queries to work. Log in once and the session is remembered.
