Description

✅ Add-on Description

Youtube Reward Timer is a simple motivation add-on that rewards your studying with short bursts of YouTube video time.

Whenever you answer a card, the add-on adds a small amount of “video time” to a built-in timer. The amount of time you earn depends on how you answered:

Again → fewer seconds
Good → more seconds
Easy → even more seconds

(Internally, each ease level gives 5 seconds multiplied by the ease value.)

When you earn time, a video window opens automatically and starts playing. If your earned time runs out, the video pauses again until you answer more cards.

Additional Features

A YouTube playlist is opened by default (the creator’s personal favorite), but you can freely navigate to any other video or URL within the same window.
Adding a new note also grants 60 seconds of video time.
A manual menu entry “Open Youtube allows you to open the video window at any time.
Supports YouTube playback via QtWebEngine and can also play local video files using QtMultimedia (if available).

Notes

This add-on is intentionally lightweight and may have minor quirks depending on your system. Use it as a fun motivational tool — study a bit, get a small YouTube break, and continue reviewing!
