Adds a life bar to reviews that drains over time and refills as you answer, visually showing how quickly you respond.
Enables batch creation of Anki cloze-deletion cards by pasting @-separated card text into a dialog and generating a named deck, with a suggested ChatGPT prompt for producing such cards.
Gamifies studying by dividing sessions into timed batches with countdown and comparison bars, flame rewards for beating rolling averages, and completion-time estimates, all configurable.
Hides the top and bottom bars during card review to maximize viewing space, toggled on and off with Shift+Command+F.
Turns Anki reviews into a focused momentum game with question/answer timers, protective streaks, optional audio and controller feedback, Time Boosts, and tools for flagging slow cards.
Turns Anki reviews into a living village: new cards create villagers, missed reviews kill them, and coins, homes, seasons, wildlife, taxes, and land expansion evolve over time.
This Add-on gamifies Anki and gives you an accurate estimate as to when you will finish all your Anki cards for the day.
What you get from this add-on:
Gamification!!!! with a health bar that gives you life when you send a new or review card ≥ 1 day forward. A clock!!! This clock tells you exactly when you will finish all your reviews and new cards for the day (assuming your health bar doesn't go to zero!!!). How to use it?
Step 1: Download the Add-on.
Step 2: Restart Anki.
Step 3: Click on the deck that you want to cover for the day (note: it is important that you do this before moving on to step 4).
Step 4: Click on the "Tools" section of Anki and there click "Mad Hatter's Time Keeper Settings."
Step 5: Configure the settings. The "Starting Health" is the amount of health in seconds that you will have on the health bar that will appear on the bottom of the screen. Consider setting this to 10 minutes (600 seconds). The "Health Gained Per Card" is the amount of health (in seconds) that you will get when you send any card ≥ 1 day forward. This can be if you get a review card right "once" or if you get a new card correct "two consecutive times" (1m and 10m). Essentially it is the amount of time you will spend doing Anki divided by the total number of cards you need to cover. If you want to do 200 cards in 60 minutes (3,600 seconds), set this to 18 seconds so that you guarantee you will cover 200 cards in 60 minutes (3,600 seconds).
Step 6: Start doing your Anki cards.
What is with that "timer" in the left lower quadrant? That timer is the estimated time it will take you to finish all of your new and review cards for the day. It is calculated as the following: (((new cards due + review cards due) x (health gained per card)) + starting health). Also, you should note that if you run out of health in the health bar (stop studying), this timer will stop. Also, if you have a full amount of health and gain more health, it will subtract this extra time you gained from the timer. For example, let's say you are 5 seconds short of having full health in the health bar and you gain 10 seconds more of health by getting a question correct. This will fill your health bar with that 5 seconds and subtract an additional 5 seconds from the timer. This overall format essentially gives you a very very accurate estimate of how long you have to continue doing Anki before you finish all of your new and review cards assuming you can keep the health bar from going to zero.
Anyways, I hope you enjoy it!
