Description

Use Cases

Taking a break from a specific deck without ruining your review schedule
Focusing on one deck while keeping others on hold
Going on vacation but only for certain subjects

How It Works

Pause: Right-click the gear icon next to a deck → "Pause Deck". A timestamp is saved and an orange ⏸ badge appears next to the deck name.

Unpause: Gear icon → "Unpause Deck". A confirmation dialog shows the pause duration. All cards in the deck (including sub-decks) have their due dates shifted forward:

Review cards — shifted by days
Learning/relearning cards — shifted by seconds
New cards — untouched (position-based, not time-based)
Filtered decks — both due and odue are adjusted

The operation runs in the background with a progress bar.

Features

Per-deck pausing (not whole collection)
Visual indicator (orange badge) in the deck browser
Conflict prevention: cannot pause a deck if its parent or child is already paused
Tools → "Manage Paused Decks..." dialog to see all paused decks at a glance
Studying while paused is allowed (with a warning in the menu)
Handles deck renames, suspended/buried cards, filtered decks
Sync-safe: uses col.update_card() API

Compatibility

Anki 23.10+ (tested on Anki 25.x, Qt 6, Python 3.13)
