Opens multiple independent Browser windows for side-by-side deck work and copying field content, with per-window search, layout, and session restoration, without modifying notes or collection.
Automates Ankiβs built-in self-hosted sync server, enabling fast desktop and mobile synchronization over local Wi-Fi with minimal setup, plus optional remote access and server settings.
Turns Anki study into a networked multiplayer game where players battle each other on filtered decks, track progress, and optionally share badges and daily study time.
Silently syncs the collection in the background after configurable idle periods, without stealing focus, syncing only on detected changes and deferring during dialogs, focus, or reviews.
Converts Anki notes between types without triggering a full sync, offering field mapping, presets, review-history preservation, deck/tag retention, browser and reviewer conversion, and one-step undo.
Lets you quickly add or edit tags while reviewing, with configurable shortcuts for specific tags and optional burying or suspending of cards or notes.
It's nice to avoid the window closed. It can be avoided, unless for full sync. Unless I overlooked something, which might well be the case.
It's in Alpha. If I overlooked anything, please let me know so that I may correct it.
The problem with keeping windows open in Anki is that a lot of windows have directly saved the collection instead of accessing it through the main window.
Before and after sync, anki close and open the collection. This means that all of those windows have a pointer to a closed collection. Closing those windows is an easy solution to avoid this problem. That would require to rewrite a big part of anki (but it would be easy to do) and probably a bunch of add-ons.
Avoiding to close the collection is another solution. It may be less safe if I overlooked a problem somewhere, but still worth a try.
