I built an Anki add-on that automatically pulls up the lecture page your card came from

Anki Add-ons
1

I’m a Computer engineer from Texas A&M, and after enough of my friends who used Anki wanted a better way to pull up their notes without digging through all their lectures, I built Linked Notes

Linked Notes uses semantic vector search to compare the concepts of your flashcard against your lecture slides and textbooks, then finds and opens the most relevant page when you review a card.

It’s been a pretty big time saver for my friends who use Anki, so I wanted to put it out there for y’all to try out.

It also has a lookup tool inside it to Ctrl + F a word in the textbook with a search bar.

I ended up building a few other add-ons alongside it (you’ll see them in the demo):

  • A medical spellchecker with ~92k medical terms + standard English words, along with medical abbreviation lookup

  • An exam manager to keep track of deadlines

  • A way to open Notability alongside Anki (either embedded or side-by-side)

  • A study buddy feature (inspired by a friend who wanted Jujutsu Kaisen characters to encourage them while studying)

I’ve officially launched today after working on this for a few months. As a launch gift, I’m giving away the exam countdown manager for free on my page.

Please tell me your thoughts and feedback if this is something y’all would like and if there are any other add-ons you’d like to see in the future.

If anyone wants to check it out, I put it on Patreon under gainz757.

To check out the demo its on my reddit: Gainzz101.

Edit:

Thank you everyone for all the feedback and support!

I’m happy so many of y’all liked the idea.

Since we just launched, I want to give early users a steep discount at 70% discount all month for the gold tier (about $2.40). I hope the bundle of 7 add-ons saves you time!

If you enjoy it, please share it with your friends and let me know if you have any questions about setting it up.

We’ll also be reducing the pricing moving forward!

I’m a Computer Engineer from Texas A&M, and recently, my friend asked for a way to conceptualize the anatomy he was studying better, so I got to work.

After building Linked Notes, an add-on that compares the concepts of your flashcard against your lectures/textbooks to pull up the page where your card came from, I built on that idea to analyze the concepts of your flashcard to pull up a 3D interactive model of whatever anatomy you’re studying.

Currently, it covers models of the heart, brain, skull, spine, hip, shoulder, knee, elbow, lungs, eye, hand, foot, kidney, etc, with multiple viewing layers like skeletal and muscular shown when available.

I’m currently developing it now and planning on adding it to an addon bundle when finished, which includes:

  • Linked Notes: pulls up the page your card references from all your textbooks/lectures

  • A medical spellchecker with ~92k medical terms + standard English words, along with medical abbreviation lookup

  • An exam manager to keep track of deadlines (Giving away for free now)

  • Anki Notability integration

  • A study buddy feature (inspired by a friend who wanted Jujutsu Kaisen characters to encourage them while studying)

If anyone wants to check them out and support me to continue building these products, I put them here:

  • You can check me out at Gainz757 on Patreon

Since we just launched, I’m giving early users a 70% discount for the gold tier (about $2.40).

Let me know if y’all like the idea or any feedback you have you’d like to see!

The 3D models are sourced from Sketchfab’s open library. They’re great for visualization and spatial understanding, but they’re reference tools, not clinical-grade atlases. Coverage is growing (300+ terms and counting), and I’m actively adding more every week.

Linked Body analyzes the concepts of your flashcard to pull up a 3D interactive model of whatever anatomy you’re studying automatically.

The Anki add-on lets you rotate, zoom, and explore the anatomy from any angle, turning that static image in your flashcard into something you can interact with. You can switch between layers, like skeletal and muscular views, when available.

UPDATE: Linked Body is now live! Join my Patreon “Gainz757” to get access to it (free exam date manager available too)

I collapsed your separate posts into one (even though this possibly includes multiple add-ons at this point) – because they are reading more like vague self-promotion than anything else. If you want to publish your add-ons here (i.e. to use this space to support users), you can do that, but you need to focus on what users need to know. At a minimum, you need a useful brief title that includes the name of the add-on, and clear information (or a link) about where users can get the add-on.

Thank

You for your feedback!

I actually have a demo and link where people can see how it works but I can’t add links or videos yet. If you can edit my permissions, I’ll create a post explaining what Linked Notes and Linked Body can do for you as they save SO much time for people who use them and add a link where to get it. Thank you!

Since your messages have had a lot of automatic flags from the system already, rather than changing your permissions, for now you can just post links `between backticks, in codeblocks` instead.

Thank you for you advice. I’ll be more direct and clear about the product when I try again.
