Description

Ambient Review Timer

Two subtle circular clocks that appear in the corners of the Anki reviewer while you study.

The left clock shows how long you took to answer that card last time
The right clock counts up while you think
Both disappear when you flip the card

The clocks are intentionally faint so they give you awareness of your pace without adding pressure.

Options

Go to Tools > Ambient Timer Options to adjust:

Position: top or bottom corners
Clock size, number size, and opacity
Show or hide tick marks and labels
Clock colour with automatic light/dark mode adjustment
Colour progression: the live clock changes colour as you pass your Easy, Good, Hard, and Again time thresholds

Toggle the addon on/off via Tools > Ambient Timer: ON / OFF.

Requirements: Anki 2.1.45+
