Description

Study Bins

If your large Anki collection makes the deck browser feel overwhelming, Study Bins gives you a clear place to start.

Group the decks you want into simple, named bins, focus on one area at a time, and study only the cards that are due for that area. Spend less time deciding what to review next and more time actually practicing.

Features

  • Create named bins from any combination of decks and subdecks.
  • Focus the deck browser on one bin at a time.
  • Study due cards from a focused bin without mixing decks together.
  • Keep new cards out of due-card sessions.
  • Preserve your existing decks, scheduling, and deck settings.
  • Switch between bins with keyboard shortcuts.
  • Return to the complete deck tree at any time.

Getting started

  1. Open Tools > Study Bins > Manage Bins.
  2. Create a bin and select the decks you want to study together.
  3. Focus the bin from the manager or the Tools > Study Bins menu.
  4. Choose Due Cards Only when you are ready to review.

Shortcuts

  • Ctrl+Shift+B opens the bin manager.
  • Ctrl+Shift+F turns focus on or off.
  • Ctrl+Shift+Right / Ctrl+Shift+Left moves between bins.
  • Ctrl+Shift+D turns due-card mode on or off.

The focus and due-card shortcuts work in the deck browser.

Study Bins

If your large Anki collection makes the deck browser feel overwhelming, Study Bins gives you a clear place to start. Group the decks you want into simple, named bins, focus on one area at a time, and optionally see only the cards that are due for that area.

Spend less time deciding what to review next and more time actually practicing. Study Bins keeps your existing decks and scheduling intact while turning a crowded collection into a focused study plan.

Updating

Add-ons installed through AnkiWeb are checked for updates by Anki. You can also check manually in Tools > Add-ons.

Add-ons installed from a downloaded .ankiaddon file are not updated automatically. Download the latest release and install it again when a new version is available.

Troubleshooting

If the add-on stops working after an Anki update, restart Anki and install the latest release. If the problem continues, report it with your Anki version and a description of what happened.

If a due-card session appears empty, confirm that the selected decks contain cards that are currently due.

Support

Please open an issue on GitHub for problems or feature requests. Include your Anki version and the steps that caused the problem.

Packaging a release

Run these commands from the add-on directory. The archive must contain the files directly, without a wrapping folder.

cd study_bins_repo
find . -name "__pycache__" -o -name "*.pyc" -exec rm -rf {} +
zip -r ../study_bins.ankiaddon __init__.py manifest.json config.json

The .ankiaddon file should contain only __init__.py, manifest.json, and config.json.
