A deprecated incremental reading add-on that imports articles, web feeds, and Pocket items, enabling text extraction, highlighting, and card creation with customizable scheduling and shortcuts.
Applies color highlights, bold, superscript, and formatting removal to selected text during review via customizable keyboard shortcuts, automatically saving changes as synced HTML.
Highlights specified terms and regex patterns in the editor and optionally the review screen, with customizable colors, CSS classes, and styles.
Adds an in-card AI tutor for on-the-spot explanations, mnemonics, translations, image understanding, answer grading, and saved answers during review, using free or user-supplied models.
Supports incremental reading in Anki by importing webpages, feeds, and Pocket articles, extracting or highlighting text into cards, and customizing shortcuts, formatting, zoom, and scheduling.
Automatically creates Anki flashcards from any text you highlight on your screen and adds them to a chosen deck using retention-optimized formats.
Quick Highliter Quick Highliter lets you highlight text directly on the review screen without opening the editor.
Features Select text on the question or answer side to open a compact color palette. Four customizable highlight colors. Highlights are saved permanently in the note field as standard HTML. Saved highlights remain visible after restarting Anki and sync with your collection. Eraser button for removing a highlight. Cmd+Z on macOS restores the most recent highlight change on the current note. Color setup window appears on first launch. Colors can be changed later from Tools β Quick Highliter μμ μ€μ β¦ or the add-on configuration button.
Usage Open a card in Review. Drag to select text on the question or answer. Click one of the four colors in the small palette. Use the eraser button to remove highlighting from the selected area.
Sync and mobile The add-on runs on Anki Desktop. AnkiMobile and AnkiDroid cannot run desktop Python add-ons, so new highlights cannot be created there. Highlights created on desktop are stored in the note HTML, so they remain visible on mobile after syncing.
Compatibility Tested with Anki 26.05 on macOS. Designed primarily for note types with Front and Back fields. Other note types are supported when the selected text can be matched to exactly one field.
Privacy Quick Highliter does not send card content or personal information to any external server.
