Adds an optional, resizable multiline typing box to the reviewer bottom bar; typed text remains visible on the answer side, resets per question, and its font size is configurable.
Displays up to four note fields in clean, customizable boxes after the answer is revealed, with side-by-side or 2×2 layouts, image zoom, and a show/hide hotkey.
Locks Anki study sessions until time, review, or deck goals are met, blocking exits, deck switching, and menus, with configurable unlock methods and a progress HUD.
Provides a distraction-free full-screen review interface by hiding menu bars, overlaying adjustable, draggable, touch-friendly answer buttons, and hiding the idle cursor, with customizable settings.
Adds configurable cloze note types supporting nested clozes, clickable hints, show/hide toggles, iteration through clozes, customizable scrolling, and in-reviewer search.
Creates interactive medical flowcharts and mind maps inside Anki, with drag-and-drop editing, auto-cloze cards, JSON/AI import, alignment tools, and click-to-reveal review.
Sometimes I find myself automatically skipping through cards without fully articulating an answer. But "type to answer" cards don't work for my usecase: I study a lot of STEM subjects where a verbatim answer is not helpful or LaTeX would be required.
This add-on places a text area in Anki's reviewer bottom bar and blocks the Show Answer action until you type something into the box. The text you enter is not checked against the card's answer; it simply acts as a commitment mechanism before you self-grade. It does not require custom card templates.

During review, you'll see a “Write something before revealing the answer” field beneath the Show Answer button. The field auto-focuses when the question appears, so you can start typing immediately. Hit Enter (without modifiers) after writing to trigger Show Answer instantly, or click the button/press the space bar. If you attempt to reveal the answer with an empty field, the add-on highlights the box and shows a tooltip reminder.
