Generates overlapping cloze cards from pasted lists or sequences, helping users memorize enumerations and other ordered information through context-cued, platform-compatible flashcards.
Generates tagged Anki decks from medical learning objectives and in-class PDFs using a structured prompt, outputting basic and cloze flashcards as JSON.
Bolds cloze deletions within selected text using a customizable hotkey or a dedicated toolbar button, without disturbing existing formatting.
Adds an editor button and customizable hotkey, Ctrl+Shift+Alt+R by default, to remove clozes from selected text.
Adds an editor button that wraps list items in the current field with sequential cloze deletions, with a configurable Alt+Shift+L shortcut and an option to target only selected items.
Removes cloze formatting around the cursor or within selections, handling nested clozes and MathJax, and strips cloze markup from pasted content in non-cloze fields.
Cloze Overlapper updated for Anki 23+. Note that scheduling overrides no longer work in Anki 23, as sibling burial is only configurable per deck. Please report issues here.

List memorization made easy!
This is an add-on for the spaced-repetition flashcard app Anki. It facilitates memorizing enumerations, lists, or any other type of sequential information by breaking the sequence up into cards where each item serves as the context cue for the next.
Memorizing lists and enumerations has always been a particularly difficult part of studying flashcards. Good flashcards follow the minimum information principle, where each card is kept as short as possible. Sequential information has unfortunately always somewhat eluded that basic principle because it is hard to break down into smaller chunks. Normally you would employ methods like grouping or categorizing to consolidate information, but with each item building upon the next, that does usually not work for sequences or enumerations.
One of the common recommendations in cases like this has always been to create overlapping flashcards, where each card's answer serves as the question prompt for next card in line. For an array of three list items A, B, C you would end up with three cards of the form A → B, B → C, and C → D. What results is chain of overlapping associations between each sequence node that can potentially improve the storage and retrieval strength of the entire sequence.
While this method is generally assumed to be quite effective, following it requires a significant * time investment* up-front that only few students are able or willing to make.
This is where Cloze Overlapper comes in. It takes care of all the arduous steps required to create these flashcards manually and provides you with a dead-simple workflow: You paste in the sequence or list, adjust the cloze generation settings, and let the add-on generate the cards for you.
More generally speaking, Cloze Overlaper provides Anki with a completely novel cloze system that can cover almost every use case you can think of, be it revealing each taxon of a classification system individually, or even gradually building up to an entire poem:
Due to working with the formatting tools that Anki provides itself, the cards generated by this add-on are fully compatible with all Anki platforms, smartphone apps included:
