Auto-reveals each card's answer after a per-card delay computed from visible word count and difficulty, never grading, with pause and calibration options.
Combines adaptive answer-reveal delays, progressive word reveal, timed Blitz sessions with time-left estimates, Pomodoro breaks, focus lock, music and profiles.
Splits review sessions into configurable chunks and displays two linked progress bars with color-coded intervals, timers, session tracking, and optional FSRS-based retention coloring.
Adds two customizable chunked progress bars to Anki, with settings for target card counts, deck calculation methods, bar size, and displayed numbers.
Creates screenshot-based occlusion cards that reveal hidden sections one step at a time, supporting grouped or sequential reveals for ordered, long-form answers and diagrams.
Breaks large daily review workloads into smaller blocks with timed healthy breaks, FSRS-based session recommendations, a movable progress bar, auto-hide/sync, notifications, webhooks, and customizable per-deck settings.
Fade the question in word by word.
Fades the card's question in one word at a time at a reading pace you set, so a longer question takes proportionally longer to appear. Click, or press the reveal key, to show everything at once.
{{tts}} voice so the words finish in step with the audio (exact on macOS).P key (first press finishes the fade, the next pauses the timer), and clicking its More time button doesn't skip the fade.[sound:] both. It stops rather than pauses, so the next card plays normally. On by default; turn it off in Settings.If you run Patrick Lee's original Progressive Word Reveal, disable it so the two don't double up. If you run the full AnkiBlitz suite, this feature is already in it β don't install both.

Core + aSFM + Progressive Word Reveal together equal the full AnkiBlitz. Don't run AnkiBlitz alongside any of the other three β it already contains them.
Four study add-ons for Anki. AnkiBlitz is the full integrated suite; the other three are standalone spin-offs β AnkiBlitz Core (everything except the two reviewer-reveal features) plus the two reveal features on their own β for people who only want one piece.
Don't run a standalone spin-off and the full AnkiBlitz at the same time β the timers/counters would double up. AnkiBlitz already includes all of them, and AnkiBlitz Core already includes the Blitz/Pomodoro/Focus/profiles/music stack. Each
manifest.jsondeclares this inconflicts(by both the source folder name and the AnkiWeb code, since an AnkiWeb install lands in a numeric folder), so Anki warns you rather than leaving you to notice a doubled countdown.
| Add-on | What it does | AnkiWeb | Code |

dist/AnkiBlitzCore.ankiaddon |
| Adaptive Speed Focus (aSFM) | Just the auto-reveal timer: waits a delay computed from the card's length and FSRS difficulty, then shows the answer. Never grades. | 1148593203 |
dist/aSFM.ankiaddon |
| Progressive Word Reveal | Just the word-by-word fade-in of the question, at a set reading pace (optionally TTS-synced). | 972193513 |

Mix and match: AnkiBlitz Core + aSFM + Progressive Word Reveal together equal the full AnkiBlitz β install Core plus whichever reveal feature(s) you want, or just grab the all-in-one AnkiBlitz.
Easiest β AnkiWeb: in Anki, Tools βΈ Add-ons βΈ Get Add-onsβ¦ and paste the add-on's code from the table above, then restart Anki. That way you also get updates.
From a packaged file: Tools ⸠Add-ons ⸠Install from file⦠and pick the
matching .ankiaddon from dist/, then restart Anki.
Manual β from source: copy the add-on's source folder into your Anki
addons21/ directory and restart. The folder must be named so Anki can import it:
| Source folder here | Copy into addons21/ as |
|---|---|
AnkiBlitz/ |
focus_suite |
ankiblitz-core/ |
ankiblitz_core |
aSFM/ |
asfm |
progressive-reveal/ |
progressive_reveal |
(The packaged .ankiaddon files handle this naming for you β manual copying is
only needed if you're hacking on the source.)
The integrated experience. Adaptive auto-reveal and progressive reveal run on any review; on top of that you get timed Blitz sessions (by card count, time, or a fraction of what's due) with a progress bar, Pomodoro work/break cycles, Focus Lock, momentum nudges, an in-app music player, and whole-config profiles (Default / Blitz / Relaxed). Controlled from Tools βΈ AnkiBlitz.
The same Blitz/Pomodoro/Focus/profiles/music stack as the full suite, but with the two reviewer-reveal features removed β for people who want the session discipline without the answer ever revealing itself. Pair it with aSFM and/or Progressive Word Reveal to add reveal pacing back piece by piece. Controlled from Tools βΈ AnkiBlitz Core.
The auto-reveal timer on its own. delay = (base + per-word Γ words) Γ familiarity Γ difficulty, clamped to a min/max, with an optional countdown bar and pre-reveal
warning. Counts only the words you actually see (hidden fields and AnKing tag
chips don't inflate it), and supports a set-time "picture card" mode. Controlled
from Tools βΈ Adaptive Speed Focus.
The word fade on its own. Fades the question in word-by-word (or in chunks) at a
reading pace you set, optionally locked to the card's native {{tts}} voice.
Click or the reveal key shows everything at once. Controlled from Tools βΈ
Progressive Word Reveal.
