Description

Every distraction Anki puts on screen pulls your attention away from the one thing that matters: the card in front of you. Hider strips the interface down to just that card — and puts everything back the moment you leave. 🎯

Hider gives Anki the focus mode it's always been missing.

🪟 Hide the menu bar, top toolbar, and bottom bar during review — they all reappear automatically when you navigate away, so nothing is lost.
📜 Remove the card scrollbar for an even cleaner look; the mouse wheel still works normally.
🎯 Hide the Hard and Easy answer buttons — only Again and Good remain, and their keyboard shortcuts are blocked too so you can't answer by accident.
🖱️ Auto-hide the mouse cursor after a configurable idle time (1–60 s); it comes back the instant you move the mouse.
▶️ Start reviewing automatically when you open a deck, skipping the overview screen entirely (only when there are due cards).
⚙️ Every feature can be toggled independently — enable only what works for your workflow.
🌍 Interface available in 20+ languages, matching Anki's own language setting.

HOW TO USE

Install the add-on and restart Anki.
Open any deck and click Study Now — the configured elements hide automatically.
Leave the review screen at any time; everything reappears on its own.
To change what gets hidden: Tools → Add-ons → Hider → Config.

SETTINGS

Go to Tools → Add-ons → Hider → Config to toggle each feature individually and set the cursor idle timeout (default: 3 s).

COMPATIBILITY

Tested on Anki 24.06+ (Qt6). Tested primarily on Windows; macOS and Linux should work but please report any issues in the comments.

CHANGELOG

v3.3.0 — 2026-07-15 — Added AnkiCraft branding, welcome dialog, and support footer in the config dialog. save_config() now preserves internal meta keys.

v3.2.0 — Previous release.

Free forever, and open source (AGPLv3).
