Downloads audio from Forvo and Lingua Libre into specified note fields, in batch or per card, with configurable language, speaker, deck, tagging and text-filtering options.
Filters medical deck tags, applies high/low-yield filters, promotes AnKing/Malleus cards into personal decks, shows deck card-state charts, and adds keyboard shortcuts.
Creates Japanese vocabulary study cards from subs2srs cards by converting tagged notes and searching Jisho to add or tag new terms.
Copies notes into multiple decks based on tag hierarchies, creating matching decks and subdecks while leaving original cards untouched.
Creates filtered decks from browser tags via right-click or Alt-click, with customizable names, card counts, search suffixes, and sort orders.
Gets you the Malleus deck through AnkiCollab, then finds, creates and tags Malleus cards from inside Anki. One search covers every Malleus database, and the add-on applies the right tags for you.

Malleus is shared through AnkiCollab, and this add-on sets it up for you. After installing, restart Anki and click Set it up on Get the Malleus deck. The add-on:
Already getting Malleus through AnkiHub? The same setup moves your deck across to AnkiCollab and keeps your scheduling and review history.
Open it again any time from Tools → Malleus Deck Setup (AnkiCollab)…. The full walkthrough, with videos, is in the docs: Get the Deck and Switching from AnkiHub.
Any of these open it:
Ctrl+Alt+M (configurable) in the main window, Browser, Add or Edit windowsOpened from the Browser or an editor, it works on the selected cards. Opened from the main window, it's for finding and creating cards.
The panel at the bottom has two tabs: 🔍 Find cards and 🏷 Create & tag.
The line under the yield buttons summarises what will be searched, e.g. "Finds High, Medium, no-yield cards · hiding AUS-only cards". You can search by yield, country or rotation alone without ticking any pages.
Enter runs Add Tags when cards are selected, otherwise Create Cards. If you're unsure of a subtag, leave it on Main Tag.
Across several cards, every prompt that interrupts a run — the yield level, the Synced Extra picker, and the tag-choice list when replacing — carries an apply to all tickbox, so you can answer once and let the rest of the batch run through. The choices are forgotten when the run ends, and the summary at the end says how many cards were resolved from them.
When you tag or create a Subjects or eTG card, the add-on fills two note fields from the Malleus databases:
Right-click selected cards in the Browser for:
The Browser's Malleus menu also has Update Malleus Database Cache.
Click Add Random in the card editor to insert a randomisation element at the cursor:
The element is inserted as a placeholder such as [random:110,180,0], and the note is tagged #Malleus_CM::#Card_Feature::Randomisation. The Malleus note type's card template fills the placeholders in each time the card is shown, so the values change from review to review.
The add-on works from a local copy of the Malleus databases, rebuilt from Notion daily. On startup it checks GitHub and downloads only the databases that have changed, so you normally never need to do anything.
To update by hand, click ↻ Updated … ago at the top of the Page Selector. It turns amber when the copy is over a week old. Shift+click rebuilds directly from Notion, which is slower.

Settings are under Tools → Add-ons → Malleus Clinical Medicine → Config. The ones you're most likely to change:
deck_name: the deck new cards go into. Set it if you've renamed or moved the Malleus deck (use :: for subdecks).note_type: the note type new cards use. Only needed if you have more than one MalleusCM - Cloze note type.shortcut: the keyboard shortcut for the Page Selector (default Ctrl+Alt+M).find_yields / exclude_region_features: the Find cards yield and country defaults. The Page Selector updates these for you.show_card_counts: show how many of your notes are already tagged with each result.See config.md for every option.

The choices are forgotten when the run ends, and the summary at the end says how many cards were resolved from them.
Those prompts also offer the same two ways out: Skip card leaves that one card alone and moves on, and Stop ends the run there. Stopping keeps the cards already done and tells you how far it got — in Update Malleus Subject Tags, Undo in the summary then puts everything back, tags and synced fields alike.
When you tag or create a Subjects or eTG card, the add-on fills two note fields from the Malleus databases:
Right-click selected cards in the Browser for:

Click Add Random in the card editor to insert a randomisation element at the cursor:
| Element | What it does |
|---|---|
| Random Number | a number between a minimum and maximum, to a set number of decimal places |
| Random List | one option picked from a list |
| Scored List | a list where each option carries a score |
| Scored Number | a random number scored by which range it falls in |
| Show Score | displays the card's total score: the sum of its scored lists and scored numbers |
| Answer by Score | shows different answer text depending on that total score |
The element is inserted as a placeholder such as [random:110,180,0], and the note is tagged #Malleus_CM::#Card_Feature::Randomisation. The Malleus note type's card template fills the placeholders in each time the card is shown, so the values change from review to review.

The databases are rebuilt from Notion daily by a GitHub Action (.github/workflows/update-cache.yml) and committed to cache/.
To rebuild locally, set a Notion token and run python3 update_notion_cache.py:
NOTION_TOKEN=... python3 update_notion_cache.py
package.sh builds the AnkiWeb .zip. It reads NOTION_TOKEN from the environment or .env and never commits it.
