Suspends a card's siblings until the current card reaches mature status, then unsuspends the next sibling, with enabling done per deck via the Tools menu.
Automatically unsuspends sibling cards once prerequisite cards meet interval or review-count thresholds, with leech protection, unseen-card-only safety, notifications, a rules configuration window, and manual catch-up unlocking.
Creates one filtered deck per tag under a parent deck, with configurable limits, ordering, preview or rescheduling, optional automatic unsuspending, and Browser tag selection.
Reschedules a card's siblings when they are due too soon, scaling delays by interval, with notifications and optional post-sync rescheduling.
Applies configurable trigger-and-action rules to cards in a note, automatically suspending, unsuspending, or burying others based on conditions like maturity, applied from the browser or main window.
Buries new cards whose siblings are due within a configurable number of days ahead, preventing new cards from previewing answers to upcoming reviews.
Meet SibPush, your Anki addon that likes to keep new sibling cards at a chill distance. It suspends new sibling cards until their older siblings have matured, then brings them back when the deck browser is opened again. No more awkward family reunions in your review sessions!
So here’s the deal. Normally when you bump into a new card, Anki shoves its siblings to the side for just a day. Not cool, right? SibPush steps in to save the "spaced" in spaced repetition. It suspends the new siblings that should wait, marks them with the SibPush_suspended tag, and checks for recovery on the next deck browser render. Once the remaining siblings are mature enough, the suspended cards are unsuspended again. This way, you get to avoid cramming and actually remember stuff long-term. It’s all about keeping the learning groove going at a neat pace.
Unlike other similar addons that only act when a note is reviewed in AnkiDesktop, SibPush uses multiple triggers so it can catch up after syncs. That means reviews on AnkiMobile and AnkiWeb still get processed when the desktop collection reloads.
The configuration of SibPush is straightforward and can be tailored to meet your study needs. Here are the settings you can tweak in the config file:
default_interval: The interval (in days) that must be surpassed by all siblings before new cards are introduced for review. Decks that are not listed in custom_deck_rules use this value. Default is 30.
custom_deck_rules: A list of deck-specific rules. Each rule uses the deck ID (did) as the stable identifier, while name is only there to make the config easier to read. Set ignored to true to exclude a deck from the SibPush mechanism. Use interval to override the maturity threshold for that specific deck.
You can manage the current deck's SibPush rule from the deck browser's SibPush submenu instead of editing JSON by hand.
When you ignore a deck, SibPush queues the cleanup work and applies it on the next deck browser render, so the browser remains the single batch-processing doorway.
tag_rules: A dictionary of tag-specific rules. Each key is a note tag name, and each rule uses interval to override the maturity threshold for notes with that tag. Tag rules take precedence over deck rules, but ignored decks still win.
Example:
```json
{
"custom_deck_rules": [
{
"did": "1777739665453",
"name": "Country Capitals",
"ignored": false,
"interval": 18
}
],
"tag_rules": {
"easy_topic": {
"interval": 0
}
}
}
```
debug: Set to true if you are debugging. When debug is true, the addon will log more information to log.txt file, which can be helpful for troubleshooting.
To exclude a deck from SibPush entirely, open the deck browser, right-click (or use the SibPush menu next to the deck) and enable Ignore deck.
To exclude one or multiple cards from SibPush, open the Card Browser, select the card (or multiple cards), right-click, and toggle SibPush → Ignore card. The menu item is a checkbox: tick it to ignore, untick it to restore normal management. Ignored cards are excluded from the SibPush processing.
Happy studying!
