Description

Anki Speed Overlay

A minimal floating overlay that shows your real-time study speed while reviewing cards.

During a review session, a small panel appears in the corner of the screen showing your current pace, rolling averages, session stats, and an ETA to finish the remaining queue.

The overlay appears automatically when the first card is shown and hides when you leave the reviewer. No configuration required.

Features

  • Real-time pace tracking (last 60s, 3-minute average, session average)
  • ETA based on remaining new, learning, and review cards
  • Idle detection — long breaks don't skew your averages
  • Lightweight and distraction-free
  • Automatic hide/show during review

Speed Tracker — Anki Add-on

A minimal floating overlay that shows your real-time study speed while reviewing cards in Anki.

What it shows

During a review session, a small panel appears in the corner of the screen:

Row Description
now Current pace — last 60s, projected
3m Rolling 3-minute average
session Average since you started reviewing
total Cards reviewed · time elapsed
ETA Estimated time to finish the remaining queue

The overlay appears when the first card is shown and disappears when you exit the reviewer.

Installation

Via AnkiWeb

Search for Speed Tracker in Anki: Tools → Add-ons → Get Add-ons...

Manual

  1. Download or clone this repo
  2. Copy the speed_tracker/ folder into your Anki addons21/ directory
  3. Restart Anki

Configuration

Edit speed_tracker/config.py:

OVERLAY_POSITION = "bottom-right"  # bottom-right | bottom-left | top-right | top-left
OVERLAY_BOTTOM_MARGIN = 72         # increase if overlay overlaps buttons
WINDOW_MINUTES = 3.0               # duration of the middle metric row
IDLE_GAP_SECONDS = 90              # pause threshold that resets the session

How it works

Each card answer records a timestamp in a circular deque (max 4096 entries). Rates are computed by counting timestamps within a time window and dividing by elapsed time — no accumulated state, no drift.

Idle detection: if the gap between two answers exceeds IDLE_GAP_SECONDS, the session reference resets so long pauses don't skew your averages.

ETA is calculated from the remaining cards in the current deck (new + learning + review) divided by the current pace.
