Creates hierarchical filtered decks from tag trees in one click and lets you rebuild, empty, pin, and bulk-manage them via hover actions and a manager.
Suggests and moves notes into appropriate subdecks using text and tag scoring, and lets users reorder decks via drag-and-drop.
Searches all Malleus databases to find, create and tag clinical medicine cards automatically, syncs resource fields, inserts randomisation elements, and updates its offline database in the background.
Displays a color-coded overlay on the Anki review screen showing an AnKing card's yield level, organ system and First Aid chapter, with adjustable tag settings and light/dark themes.
Adds configurable browser checkboxes and custom search buttons for filtering AnKing Step Deck cards by tags, suspension, new/review status, high-yield, and Step 2 relevance.
Identifies high-yield weak areas from Again/Hard review patterns, recommends linked resources, saves study plans, and generates targeted UWorld or AMBOSS practice-question sets.
If you study with AnKing or Malleus on Anki, you probably have something like 60,000 tags, a sidebar that takes forever to scroll, and a workflow where adding a single relevant card to your own deck means hunting through pages of search results. This addon fixes that; developed it for my own use!! But thought I'd share with you all.
It came out of my own daily workflow as a med student: I wanted to type a topic, see only the relevant cards, set a yield filter, click the ones I wanted, and have them dropped into my own deck for the week. None of the existing tag addons quite did this, especially with AnkiHub-synced collections.
This addon assumes you're studying from the standard medical Anki decks. If you don't have them yet:
Both are distributed via AnkiHub, which normally costs money. But AnkiHub gives a free scholarship to medical students, and from what I've seen virtually every applicant gets approved. Apply here before paying for anything:

Tags are super powerful and very well made for decks like AnKing! Type a few letters above the sidebar. The tag tree collapses to only matching tags, anywhere in the path. Each top-level tag gets a stable colour so you can tell #AK_Step1_v12 apart from #PANCE apart from #Malleus_CM at a glance. A depth-limit spinner hides anything deeper than N levels if you only want the high-level structure.
Auto-detects AnKing v11/v12 and Malleus CM yield tags. A pill [All] [High] [H+M] [Low] intersects with whatever you have searched. Click a subject tag with the pill on High, and you see only high-yield cards for that subject. No manual OR-ing of a dozen yield tags. The yield meta-tags themselves are auto-hidden from the tree so they don't clutter your sidebar.
This is the core workflow problem the addon solves. You hear about portal hypertension in a lecture. You want all the AnKing cards on that into your own MD::GI subdeck. Instead of trial-and-error in the browser:
Cmd+Shift+P).option+P to move it. Done. Undo with Cmd+Z if you misclick.For one-off promotions (you're already in the browser, see a card you want, just take it), right-click any cards and pick Promote to my deck. Or hit Option+P to repeat the last target.
When you click into any deck, you get a stacked bar at the top showing New / Learning / Young / Mature / Suspended counts. Cumulative across all subdecks. Hover for exact numbers. Helps you decide where to spend your study time.
Shift+A toggle doesn't fire when its webview has focus, which means once it opens you can't easily close it from the keyboard. This addon adds Option+Shift+A as an application-level shortcut that works regardless.Ctrl+Delete maps to Cmd+Forward-Delete on Mac, which only fires for fn+Delete. This adds Cmd+Backspace (the key actually labeled "Delete" on Mac keyboards).Cmd+B). You'll see a filter bar at the bottom of the tag sidebar with a search box, depth spinner, and the yield pill.Cmd+Shift+P to open Quick Promote and try moving a card into one of your own decks.Open Tools → Add-ons → Tag Power Tools → Config to change defaults: filter debounce, colour saturation and lightness, default depth limit, yield-tag visibility, AMBOSS hotkey, promote search limit, and more. Sensible defaults out of the box.
