[New Add-on] 🍅 Focus Music & Pomodoro Player – With Smart Auto-Pause!

Hi everyone! :waving_hand:

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.

:thinking: 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.

:sparkles: The Solution: This add-on integrates a full productivity station right into the Anki reviewer.

Key Features:

  • :musical_note: 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!

  • :tomato: Integrated Pomodoro: A visual timer (Green = Work, Red = Break). It persists even if you close Anki and come back later.

  • :bar_chart: Streak Calendar: A “Joker” icon opens a history calendar to track your study streaks and daily “Tomato” goals.

  • :gear: Highly Configurable: Custom work/break lengths, daily goals, and it fully supports Anki’s Dark Mode.

How to use:

  1. Go to Settings (Gear Icon) and select your local music folder.

  2. Click the Tomato to start the timer.

  3. Study!
