Hi everyone! ![]()
I spend hours on Anki every day. I wanted a way to stay “in the zone” without constantly switching between apps for music and timers.
I created a new add-on called Focus Music & Pomodoro Player, and I wanted to share it with the community.
The Problem: I like listening to “Focus Music” while studying, but every time an Anki card with audio (like a heart sound or pronunciation) came up, the sounds would clash. It was annoying to pause my music manually every time.
The Solution: This add-on integrates a full productivity station right into the Anki reviewer.
Key Features:
-
Smart Music Player: Point it to your local music folder. It plays your tracks and automatically pauses when a card has audio, then resumes instantly after. No more audio clashes! -
Integrated Pomodoro: A visual timer (Green = Work, Red = Break). It persists even if you close Anki and come back later. -
Streak Calendar: A “Joker” icon opens a history calendar to track your study streaks and daily “Tomato” goals. -
Highly Configurable: Custom work/break lengths, daily goals, and it fully supports Anki’s Dark Mode.
How to use:
-
Go to Settings (Gear Icon) and select your local music folder.
-
Click the Tomato to start the timer.
-
Study!
