Turn Anki review into a game of focused momentum.

Speed Streak adds separate question and answer timers, a streak worth protecting, optional audio and controller feedback, and tools for moving past cards that consume too much of a review session.

Keep the session moving

Speed Streak is designed to encourage you to push through cards faster. If you know a card, answer it. If you do not know it within an appropriate amount of time, let that be useful information. Get it wrong and keep moving quickly through your cards. If the card itself is the problem, mark it and handle it deliberately instead of losing the session to it.

• Know it: Answer within the timer and build the speed streak.
• Do not know it: Answer honestly and keep the review useful while building your speed streak.
• Time drain/Review later: Flag the card, protect the pace, and return to it intentionally later when speed is not paramount.

New in 2.04

Streak records: Keep an all-time or today target in view. Choose Best Only, a live Streak Strip, or five ranked or recent streaks. Open a record to compare active time, pauses, Review departures, undo use, and Pure status.

“Time’s Running Out” sound: Choose when the warning starts, select or upload a cue, set its volume, and align the sound moment that lands on each whole-second mark.

Audio timing has also been substantially improved. Packaged effects are prepared ahead of time so countdown cues and review feedback start more consistently, including the first time they play.

Time Boost

Complete cards to earn Boosts, then use one before the timer expires to add time without stopping the session. Starting Boosts, bank capacity, cards required, time added, and the shortcut are configurable.

• No Pause and No Undo are optional focus rules, not requirements.
• The earlier score-and-multiplier system remains available as Legacy Points.
• Click the Boost bank during review to open the related settings.

Core toolkit

• Separate question and answer timers
• Special timers for note types, tags, typed-answer cards, AnKing one-by-one cards, and flagged cards
• Time Drain warnings and optional countdown suspension for cards that need more room
• Review Later marking plus a manager that can filter, copy, browse, or build a filtered deck
• Pause overview with review pace and answer-button totals
• Configurable per-event audio, countdown cues, volume, and custom uploads
• Optional controller haptics with configurable patterns
• Inline side panel or separate External Window with saved position presets
• Configurable shortcuts, themes, colors, visual modes, and performance levels

Platform notes

• Windows with an XInput-compatible controller remains the most reliable controller-vibration setup.
• Visuals and audio are designed for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Controller vibration depends on the operating system, controller, driver, and available backend.
• macOS vibration support is experimental and still needs real-controller testing. If you can help test it, please use the Feedback link above.
• The External Window is generally the smoothest option and is useful alongside add-ons such as AMBOSS and AnkiHub.
