First Aid Retention Dashboard ranks your AnKing Step 1 First Aid subjects from weakest to strongest based on Anki-style retention.
Update 0.4.0:
Added clickable sortable columns. You can now click any column header in the subject or subtopic dashboard to re-rank by that metric, including retention, total cards, active cards, % Unsuspended, % Reviewed, % Mature, Leeches, fails, and passes. The dashboard also shows what metric it is currently ranking by.
It detects First Aid Step 1 tags, groups cards by subject and subtopic, and shows a read-only dashboard so you can quickly see which subjects need the most work.
Main features:
- Shows a compact First Aid retention snapshot on the Anki Decks screen
- Shows weakest 5 and strongest 3 subjects on the home page
- Full dashboard available under Tools > First Aid Retention Dashboard
- Ranks all 16 First Aid subject groups
- Double-click a subject to see subtopic-level rankings
- Uses Anki-style retention logic: Again = fail, Hard/Good/Easy = pass
- Excludes suspended cards by default
- Includes Diagnostics / Tag Detection
- Exports results to CSV
- Includes configurable lookback options
Safety:
This add-on is read-only. It does not change cards, notes, tags, decks, scheduling, FSRS settings, due dates, intervals, or deck options.
How to use:
- Install the add-on.
- Restart Anki.
- Open the Decks screen to see the compact snapshot.
- Go to Tools > First Aid Retention Dashboard for the full dashboard.
- Click Diagnostics / Tag Detection if tags are not detected.
- Click Refresh to recalculate.
- Double-click a subject to view subtopics.
Compatibility:
Built and tested on Anki 25.09.4 with AnKing Step 1 tags using the root:
#AK_Step1_v12::#FirstAid
Limitations:
This is a tag-level approximation of Anki’s True Retention Table because Anki does not expose a stable public tag-level true-retention API. It is intended as a study-planning dashboard, not as an official Anki statistics replacement.
