Description

Confidence Crammer Inspired by Brainscape, built for Anki. Confidence Crammer brings the power of confidence-based learning right into your Anki workflow. If you've ever used Brainscape, you know how incredible their confidence-grading system is for truly absorbing material and mastering those stubborn cards that just won't stick. I built this add-on to bring that exact breakthrough experience to Anki, creating a dedicated space to tackle your toughest cards head-on. Instead of waiting for Anki’s standard scheduling to loop back around, Confidence Crammer scoops up the cards you’ve marked as Again or Hard and spins them into a dynamic, high-focus cramming session designed to turn your weak spots into strengths. How It Works Targets Your Weak Spots: It automatically scans your recent reviews and pulls out only the cards you missed or found difficult. Dynamic Confidence Decks: Your cards will move through six temporary decks, ranging from Lowest Confidence to Highest Confidence . The lower your confidence in a card, the more frequently it appears. Smart Spacing: To keep your brain active, you won’t see the same card twice in a row unless it’s the only one left in the session. Intuitive Controls: Grade your confidence using five clearly colored buttons. Prefer keyboard shortcuts? Just hit the Spacebar —once to reveal the answer, and again to advance the card up a level. Visual Progress: A colored border and an on-screen progress bar give you instant feedback on where each card stands and how many you have left. Seamless Integration: Once you finish a session, the add-on securely updates Anki's database so all your hard work and progress are saved correctly. Why You'll Love It Confidence Crammer is perfect for those moments when you need an immediate, high-impact reinforcement boost. Whether you are cramming for an upcoming exam, building core language vocabulary, or simply determined to finally conquer your "leech" cards, this add-on gives you a focused, encouraging way to transform mistakes into permanent knowledge. Confidence Crammer v1.4.3 I added what the guy who liked this asked for 😃 👍 Confidence Crammer v1.4.1 — Release Bug fix: "Again" (missed) cards could silently drop out of Hard/Missed sessions. Confidence Crammer 1.4.0 — Smarter, More Flexible Cramming Confidence Crammer keeps evolving to make your study sessions sharper and more personal. What’s new in 1.2.2 Fixed a bug with cramming new cards that was causing an error on sync What’s new in 1.2.1 Persistent progress across sessions: Cards now remember their confidence level until they graduate. If a card falls within your chosen lookback window (e.g., the last 2 days), it will reappear in cram sessions at the same confidence deck it reached previously. Once a card graduates (grade 5, tagged crammed-success ), it’s dismissed from future sessions. Continuous reinforcement: You’ll keep working on tough cards until you truly master them, instead of having them reset each time. What was added in 1.2.0 Deck filter: Choose exactly which decks to include in a cram session. Quick “All Decks” option, or select specific decks with a clean checklist. Search box makes it easy to find decks even if you have dozens. Your choices are saved, so you don’t need to re‑select them every time. Clear indicators: The cram window shows both the mode (Hard/Missed or New Cards) and the decks you’ve chosen. Visual refresh: Mode colors updated to pleasant tones that don’t clash with card borders: Dark teal for New Cards Muted purple for Hard/Missed ⚠️ Current Limitations (Work in Progress!) Because this is a labor of love, there are a couple of things still in development: Audio playback is not yet supported. Image Occlusion cards do not display properly in the cram window just yet.
