AnkiBlitz suite

Four study add-ons for Anki. AnkiBlitz is the full integrated suite; the other three are standalone spin-offs — AnkiBlitz Core (everything except the two reviewer-reveal features) plus the two reveal features on their own — for people who only want one piece.

Don't run a standalone spin-off and the full AnkiBlitz at the same time — the timers/counters would double up. AnkiBlitz already includes all of them, and AnkiBlitz Core already includes the Blitz/Pomodoro/Focus/profiles/music stack. Each manifest.json declares this in conflicts (by both the source folder name and the AnkiWeb code, since an AnkiWeb install lands in a numeric folder), so Anki warns you rather than leaving you to notice a doubled countdown.

Mix and match: AnkiBlitz Core + aSFM + Progressive Word Reveal together equal the full AnkiBlitz — install Core plus whichever reveal feature(s) you want, or just grab the all-in-one AnkiBlitz.

Install

Easiest — AnkiWeb: in Anki, Tools ▸ Add-ons ▸ Get Add-ons… and paste the add-on's code from the table above, then restart Anki. That way you also get updates.

From a packaged file: Tools ▸ Add-ons ▸ Install from file… and pick the matching .ankiaddon from dist/, then restart Anki.

Manual — from source: copy the add-on's source folder into your Anki addons21/ directory and restart. The folder must be named so Anki can import it:

(The packaged .ankiaddon files handle this naming for you — manual copying is only needed if you're hacking on the source.)

The four, in detail

AnkiBlitz

The integrated experience. Adaptive auto-reveal and progressive reveal run on any review; on top of that you get timed Blitz sessions (by card count, time, or a fraction of what's due) with a progress bar, Pomodoro work/break cycles, Focus Lock, momentum nudges, an in-app music player, and whole-config profiles (Default / Blitz / Relaxed). Controlled from Tools ▸ AnkiBlitz.

AnkiBlitz Core

The same Blitz/Pomodoro/Focus/profiles/music stack as the full suite, but with the two reviewer-reveal features removed — for people who want the session discipline without the answer ever revealing itself. Pair it with aSFM and/or Progressive Word Reveal to add reveal pacing back piece by piece. Controlled from Tools ▸ AnkiBlitz Core.

Adaptive Speed Focus (aSFM)

The auto-reveal timer on its own. delay = (base + per-word × words) × familiarity × difficulty, clamped to a min/max, with an optional countdown bar and pre-reveal warning. Counts only the words you actually see (hidden fields and AnKing tag chips don't inflate it), and supports a set-time "picture card" mode. Controlled from Tools ▸ Adaptive Speed Focus.

Progressive Word Reveal

The word fade on its own. Fades the question in word-by-word (or in chunks) at a reading pace you set, optionally locked to the card's native {{tts}} voice. Click or the reveal key shows everything at once. Controlled from Tools ▸ Progressive Word Reveal.
