Adds customizable, sortable browser columns for note fields, card statistics, review data, and internal database values, plus optional selectable or editable table content.
Quickly restarts Anki from a menu button or shortcut, waiting for full shutdown, skipping sync, and relaunching—useful after settings changes or during add-on development.
Lets add-on developers inspect the HTML source of the main window's three stacked pages via the Cards menu or Alt+F3 for the central card/deck area.
Creates a folder of symbolic links named after each add-on, making Anki's numerically named add-on folders readable, though symlinks are not supported on Windows.
Provides a JavaScript API in Anki's reviewer, compatible with AnkiDroid's JS API, to retrieve card and deck details, counts, and perform searches.
Centralizes JavaScript and HTML template management, letting you insert reusable scripts into note templates, apply conditions, and update code across all card types from one place.
Generates graphical forms from JSON schemas to edit configurations of compatible add-ons, replacing manual JSON text editing for supported simple settings.
Copies card template code to an editable HTML file in collection.media, lets you edit externally, and syncs changes back during review or preview, reloading the card.
Adds a Save HTML menu to the preview view, saving the whole page—CSS, JavaScript, and images—to a local file for debugging complex templates.
Copies debug information to the clipboard, though the developer warns this preliminary upload may fail or damage collections and recommends against downloading it.
Displays Anki debug logs directly within the app, optionally showing new log entries and print output as a yellow tooltip in the bottom-left corner.
Enhances the add-ons window with sorting, color highlighting, per-add-on hints, a remembered filter field, allowed-add-on profiles, and quick restart shortcuts.
Runs custom JavaScript or Python snippets and inserts configured symbols or strings into the Anki editor via keyboard shortcuts and popup menus, with a JSON configuration editor.
Allows non-strict JSON configurations to contain literal newlines in strings, converting them to \n before loading and showing readable line breaks in the configuration editor.
Creates symbolic links or Windows junctions with readable add-on names inside the Anki2 folder, automatically updating or deleting them as add-ons change, to help developers identify numeric add-on folders.
Helps debug missing audio by configuring mpv to write a log file, preventing restarts from creating new logs, and guiding users to inspect or share that log.
Displays the raw HTML of every field in a note, helping users debug cards that show unexpected or strange content.
Persists selected localStorage data across Anki sessions by saving it to a media-folder script and reloading it on the first reviewed card, with read-only mobile support.
Saves and restores enabled add-ons, and semi-automatically identifies problematic add-ons by disabling halves and prompting restart and reproduction checks.
Opens the inspector in a separate resizable window, supporting multiple simultaneous inspectors and remembering the last window size, useful for HTML development outside the main window.
Lets addon developers select and reload an addon from the main window menu or shortcut, avoiding Anki restarts during development.
Connects Anki to dictionary, mining and script tools through an AnkiConnect-compatible API, adding per-app permissions, selective queries, live change events and undoable writes.
Adds a Tools menu option that exports all note types, templates, deck names and option groups, plus underscore-prefixed media files, without notes, for debugging or sharing.
Enhances Anki's card template editor with HTML, JavaScript, and CSS syntax highlighting, autocompletion, custom templates, cursor-position memory, external editor integration, and automatic backups.
Displays customizable debug information and readable error details for add-on developers, limiting repeated error popups to prevent Anki freezes.
Turns Anki review sessions into a 2048 puzzle where interval-based tiles merge to review cards, with progress on success and rollback on failure.
Automatically formats an add-on's meta.json configuration file when saved, improving code readability for developers, though it has only been tested with Anki 24.11.
Displays JSON parse error messages for add-on configuration files, helping users debug and correct invalid hand-written JSON, and prints the previous config to prevent data loss.
Explains database-check error messages and adds extra integrity checks/fixes for duplicate note cards, missing deck or deck-option parameters, and duplicate note GUIDs, warning users to back up first.
