Turns daily card reviews into XP that grows and levels a virtual plant, harvestable into a rarity-based gallery, with decay for missed days and a floating progress widget.
Warns when scheduled reviews fall on or after an exam and brings them forward, while adding a review-driven farming mini-game with crops, pets, and house upgrades.
Adds a calm, customizable garden that grows with XP and levels earned from reviewed cards, unlocking animals, decorations, and answer animations.
Lets users grow and maintain a virtual garden while reviewing Anki cards, earning water, plants, trees, seeds, sunlight, and coins for correct-answer streaks, with watering, shop purchases, and themes.
Plays your own focus music and runs a Pomodoro timer inside Anki, tracking streaks, tomato-garden progress, and shareable study recaps.
Grows a forest and study heatmap from your Anki review history, with trees reflecting learning and memory, plus streaks and upcoming reviews.
Grow a garden while you study.
Anki Garden is a free desktop Anki add-on that turns card answers into plant growth. Start with a seed, collect new plants, and customize your garden with scenery and decorations.
Keep your attention on studying. Garden can stay as a small progress tile while you review. Open it afterward to see what grew, check your rewards, and choose what to add next.

No watering. No plant decay. Keep your plants and rewards when you take a break.
Again, Hard, Good, and Easy give the same base Growth. Choose your answer according to your recall, not the garden.
Your nurtured plant receives Growth, and other unfinished planted plants receive Shared Growth. Fertilizer and Potions last for card answers rather than elapsed time. Streak achievements unlock permanent Growth bonuses; a broken streak does not remove the highest bonus you have already earned.
Coins are in-game currency, earned through studying and Garden rewards.
Questions and bug reports are welcome in the comments on this listing. GitHub is preferred!

Grow a garden while you study.
Anki Garden is a free, open-source gamification add-on for desktop Anki. As you answer cards, grow plants, earn Garden Coins, receive random drops, and unlock more of your garden.

Keep Garden as a small progress tile during reviews, or expand the reviewer panel to see your plant and recent rewards. Open the full garden after a study session to see what grew, check what you earned, and decide what to unlock next.
This showcase demonstrates several reward states, not their typical frequency.

Answer cards to earn Growth. Hard, Good, and Easy give the same base Growth, so choose the answer that reflects your recall. Plants grow through six stages:
Seed → Sprout → Young → Mature → Flowering → Full Bloom.

Earn Coins and collect items. Studying, milestones, and Garden Finds award in-game currency and rewards. Spend Coins in the Shop on plants, supplies, scenery, and decorations. Buying adds an item to your collection; equipping applies its artwork and effect. Previews are free and leave your saved equipment unchanged.
Use supplies for a boost. Fertilizer and Potions add bonus Growth for a set number of card answers. Growth Charges add a fixed amount immediately.
Keep your earned streak bonuses. Your longest Anki streak unlocks permanent Growth bonuses. Ending a streak does not remove the highest bonus you've earned.
See the progression and rewards guide for full rules, item effects, and unlock requirements.

The package declares compatibility with desktop Anki 26.09.2 and newer. The 2.2.0 release was last natively tested in Anki 26.08.1 on macOS; native verification of 2.2.3 on 26.09.2+ remains pending. Linux and physical Intel/AMD Windows remain unverified. Anki Garden's interface does not run in AnkiMobile, AnkiDroid, or the AnkiWeb website.
Garden inventory and settings are stored locally and do not sync between computers. Reviews completed on another device can earn Garden rewards after their review history syncs to desktop Anki.
Compatibility with other add-ons may vary. See the add-on interaction audit for the scope and limits of existing checks.
After Full Bloom, extra Growth goes to other unfinished planted plants, then into Stored Growth. Stored Growth is saved but cannot be spent in this version.
Open an issue to report a bug or suggest an improvement. Include your Garden version, Anki version, operating system, and what happened versus what you expected.
For troubleshooting, use Copy support report in Garden settings. Review it before sharing. Screenshots and error messages are helpful, but remove private information first. Do not upload collections, private card content, patient information, or personal file paths.
