Description

Make your Anki reviews fun and unpredictable! 🎉 This add-on uses the psychological concept of a "Variable Ratio Schedule" to keep you motivated. Instead of getting a reward every single time you answer a card, this add-on will randomly surprise you with a custom message, image, or sound effect based on an average interval you set. It's the same mechanic that makes video game loot drops so engaging! 🌟 Key Features Fully Customizable: Choose between a text popup, an image, a sound effect, or a combination of them (Popup + Sound or Image + Sound). Works Out of the Box: Comes pre-bundled with a default image and sound so you can test it out immediately! Adjustable Interval: Set your average interval (e.g., "1 in 20"). Sometimes you'll get a reward back-to-back, and sometimes it will take a little longer—keeping your brain engaged! Native Audio Engine: Uses your computer's native system sounds so it won't interrupt or break Anki's internal flashcard audio. 🛠️ How to Customize Go to Tools > Variable Ratio Reward Settings in Anki. Type in your custom message (e.g., "Time for a candy break!"). Use the Browse buttons to select any .png/.jpg image or .wav sound file from your computer to replace the default bundled files. Set your interval and reward type, click OK, and start studying! ⚠️ Important Notes & Disclaimers Desktop Only: Because mobile versions of Anki (AnkiDroid/AnkiMobile) do not support Python add-ons, this will only work on your computer. AI Creation: Disclaimer: I built the code for this add-on with the help of Google's Gemini AI! We worked through the kinks to make it completely standalone and bug-free, and I have not encountered any problems with it so far. Enjoy!
