README
Study Bins
If your large Anki collection makes the deck browser feel overwhelming, Study Bins gives you a clear place to start. Group the decks you want into simple, named bins, focus on one area at a time, and optionally see only the cards that are due for that area.
Spend less time deciding what to review next and more time actually practicing. Study Bins keeps your existing decks and scheduling intact while turning a crowded collection into a focused study plan.
