Displays a post-review summary of cards reviewed, mistakes, and average time, then builds a redo deck of incorrect cards and offers mistake history, leech coaching, and shareable study summaries.
Detects and classifies leeches using lapse metrics, adding Browse search filters, Card Info status, stats/plugin support, and a Tools summary with per-deck counts.
Adds an in-card AI tutor for on-the-spot explanations, mnemonics, translations, image understanding, answer grading, and saved answers during review, using free or user-supplied models.
Adds browser columns for initial fail rate, card age, and average daily time spent, plus leech export and age/unique-day filtering tools for faster suspension.
Adds a draggable review-screen widget showing each card's memory health as one of seven color statuses plus configurable stats and designs, compatible with FSRS and SM-2.
Tracks difficult cards using numbered difficulty tags that increase when leech cards are failed and decrease on good answers, with configurable options for leech-only tagging, limits, and review-only increases.
Leech Coach helps you catch difficult cards earlier, before they become true leeches.
When you press Again / 1 during review, the add-on checks that card’s review history, including how many times you have missed it and its card-specific success rate. If the card appears to be trending toward leech status, Leech Coach shows a short encouraging tooltip reminding you to pause and relearn the concept.
This is meant to help you stop brute-forcing painful cards and instead repair the underlying concept or rewrite the card when needed.
What it does:
What it does not do:
How to use:
Configuration: You can adjust the settings from the add-on configuration file.
Options include:
Tooltip mode is enabled by default because it is less disruptive during review. If you prefer a popup that requires clicking OK, set:
"enable_tooltip_instead_of_popup": false
Why I made this: I made this as a medical student to help myself catch painful Anki cards earlier. The goal is to turn repeated misses into a signal to relearn the concept instead of just grinding the same card over and over.
Compatibility: Tested locally on my current version of Anki Desktop. Add-ons can sometimes break after Anki updates, so please report issues if it behaves unexpectedly.
