Description

🩺 Card Pulse — the vital signs of every card, the moment you flip it

Anki knows how strong each card is in your memory… it just never shows you.
Card Pulse adds a small widget to the review screen that shows the health of the current card and one color that tells you if it's a good card or not.

🎬 Video guide: youtube.com/@TheAnkineer

🎨 7 colors, checked from top to bottom

  • NEW — you've never reviewed this card.
  • LEARNING — still in its learning steps.
  • LEECH — too many lapses or retention under 75%: rewrite it, split it or add an image.
  • FRAGILE — weak memory (low recall or stability under 7 days).
  • CONSOLIDATING — getting there, keep reviewing on time.
  • SOLID — well learned, trust the schedule.
  • MASTERED — months of stability, long streak: long-term memory.

The leech rule uses your deck's own leech threshold, so a card turns red before Anki suspends it.

📊 15 stats — show only the ones you want

  • Memory: Recall (FSRS retrievability), Stability, Difficulty, Ease (SM-2), Interval, Due
  • History: Retention, Streak, Lapses, Reviews, Age, Last button
  • Time: This time, Average time, Vs average

Hover any stat to read what it means. Works with FSRS and with the classic SM-2 scheduler.

🖌️ 5 designs

Card · Bar · Tiles · Bubbles · Circle — with 2 to 5 columns, 4 sizes, background opacity, light and dark mode.

✨ Features

  • Drag it anywhere — it remembers its place. Near the bottom it opens upward, near the right it grows to the left.
  • Fold it to just the status, unfold in one click.
  • ⚙ Settings right on the widget (also Tools › Card Pulse settings…).
  • How it works tab with the full color code and what to do for each color.
  • Ultra fast: no animations, nothing that slows down your reviews.
  • Read-only: it never changes your cards or your review history.

🚀 How to use

  1. Install with the code above and restart Anki.
  2. Start reviewing and flip a card: the widget appears with the card's color.
  3. Click ⚙ on the widget to pick your stats and your design.
