Minimalistic Typing Panel adds a clean, floating typing panel, scratchpad, and text workspace to Anki. Type notes, write answers, think through problems, brainstorm ideas, or practice active recall directly during card review without leaving Anki.
The floating panel gives you a simple place to type while studying. It is especially useful when you want to write an answer before revealing the solution, take temporary notes, work through a problem, or keep your thoughts in one place during a review session.
Designed for students who prefer typing over handwriting, Minimalistic Typing Panel provides a distraction-free and customizable workspace that stays available while reviewing flashcards.
I originally created this add-on for my own daily study sessions because I wanted one simple place to type answers before revealing the card. After using it every day, I decided to share it with the Anki community.
