Description :

  • After reviewing 10 cards, it auto-hides Anki and shows it after 3 minutes.
  • A timer will appear during the break, you can stop the timer by right-clicking on it.
  • Press “Hide Now” on the menu bar to start the timer counting now.

Notes :

  • Incompatible with the latest Anki default “Auto Advance”,
    but the Speed Focus mode is compatible (optional).

  • Fade effects work only on Windows, Linux and Mac are not compatible.

  • It may not work properly on some Linux systems.

  • If it works correctly, please rate this, because rating info will be helpful to new Anki learners. RateThis

Hello, thank you for using this add-on. I develop game add-ons for Anki (I am not related to the official Anki), and I fix broken add-ons for the latest Anki (For now I succeeded to fix about 20 broken add-ons for Anki23+). If you want to support my development, you can get prototype game add-ons by becoming a Patreon. And if you become a free patreon, you can get the latest info, so please check it out👍 Patreon : Shigeyuki : Currently there are 8 content, and 10 mini game themes(AnkiArcade).

This addon is amazing however I found a bug in the last update, the addon in its old version worked without errors. I am currently using the latest version of anki 24.06.3 Qt6, the bug is that after the break time has expired the anki popup window does not appear, you only see an alert in the start bar:

The error still occurs even when I deactivate all addons, and it is the only one that is active =( .

Hello, thanks for reporting the problem.

This problem is caused by Windows not focusing the application without user interaction, probably for security reasons. Old versions of add-on are activating Anki when you press the button on the Timer Complete window, so it will show up.

The workaround for this is to use Always On Top, it will always show Anki in the forefront, so I think that will solve the problem.

Another workaround is to add the timer completion popup from older versions to the options, but I removed it because it complicates the options. Do you prefer the old one? So far I have had a few requests that the timer popup is distracting.

This add-on has been renamed from AnkiPopUp to BreakTimer, I enhanced some of features but the basics are the same.

Hello, I started using the extension “Anki pop up - After 10 cards, take a 3 minute break (by Shige)” last week and I really liked it. It was helping me to get my cards up to date. But unfortunately an update came out recently and it stopped working. Would it be possible to send me the link to the previous version so I can downgrade this extension?

Congratulations on your work, the extension is excellent. And I apologize if this is not the right place to ask.
