Description

When a peer is studying nearby, a sleek vertical indicator light in your top toolbar will glow green. Click the light to see who is online and what subject they are tackling.

Features:

Ambient Motivation: Feel less alone during long review sessions by seeing others grinding through their decks on your campus, cafe, or home network.
Safety First: No custom text inputs. You simply choose from a list of fun preset identities (e.g., "Flashcard Fanatic" studying "Computer Science").
Zero Setup: No accounts, logins, or central servers required. The add-on uses secure local network broadcasting to find peers directly over your current Wi-Fi connection.

How to Use:

Install the add-on and restart Anki.
On startup, pick your preset identity and subject.
Look for the new indicator strip in your top toolbar. If it is grey, you are alone. If it glows green, someone nearby is studying!

Note: You can change your identity at any time by clicking Tools > Streetpass:
