Plans new-card introduction toward a deadline and forecasts card maturation, tracking progress against milestones with consistency metrics and actionable study advice.
Turns Anki review data into a private local dashboard for progress, forecasts, deck health, FSRS insights, and safe, undoable search-based card and note maintenance.
Advances only FSRS-safe cards from selected upcoming days into a filtered deck, previewing daily load and allowing optional beyond-safe selection, while unreviewed cards keep original due dates.
Provides a customizable statistics dashboard showing review activity, success rates, study patterns, heatmaps, streaks and due forecasts, with deck filters, themes and local multilingual support.
Ranks your weakest decks and tags from review history, builds filtered drills, and uses Claude to generate practice questions, mnemonics, and topic notes.
Displays an interactive heatmap calendar and stats on Anki's main screen, tracking reviews, retention, speed, focus, workload forecasts, plus themes and background photos.
Description
One window for your study day, the topics you miss most, and your keyboard shortcuts. Built for Step 1 students using AnKing-style decks, and it works with any deck.
Study Day Today's reviews and new cards next to your usual range, flagged H or L when they're outside it. Study ahead pulls upcoming reviews into a temporary deck when you have time to spare. Freeze pauses reviews for a break so they don't pile up. Also a forecast, your pace, and a history where every action can be undone.
Trouble Spots Topics ranked by how often you miss them, grouped by First Aid section, Pathoma chapter, Boards & Beyond or Sketchy video, organ system, subdeck or any tag. Click a topic to see its cards, open them in the Browser, or export a study sheet. It never changes your cards.
Keyboard Change any shortcut on the review screen, the deck overview or anywhere in Anki. Click an action and press a key; if the key is taken, swap it, move the old action to a spare key, or unbind it. Smart undo flips back to the question instead of undoing a review.
It also adds review keys for AnKing cards: c reveals the next cloze and v reveals them all, p copies the image under the mouse (or right-click › Copy image), and g copies the card's text with the clozes filled in. Open next hint and Open all hints (First Aid, Bootcamp…) can be bound too.
Also
- A status bar on the Decks screen with what's left today and how long tomorrow will take.
- Light, dark or Auto (follows night mode), and eleven color themes.
- An About tab with a quick start.
- Nothing leaves your computer. The add-on never connects to the internet.

README
Shinjer's Study Desk
An Anki add-on that puts your study day, the topics you miss most, and your keyboard shortcuts in one window. Built for Step 1 students using AnKing-style decks, and it works with any deck.

ANKIWEB_CODE and restart Anki.

latest release and

Updates come through Tools › Add-ons › Check for Updates if you installed from AnkiWeb.

What's inside
Study Day
Today's reviews and new cards next to your usual range, flagged H or L when they're outside it. Study ahead pulls upcoming reviews into a temporary deck when you have time to spare. Freeze pauses reviews for a break so they don't pile up. There's also a forecast, your pace, and a history where every action can be undone. It stays in step with Anki's own Edit › Undo.
Trouble Spots
Topics ranked by how often you miss them, grouped by First Aid section, Pathoma chapter, Boards & Beyond or Sketchy video, organ system, subdeck or any tag you type. Click a topic to see its cards, open them in the Browser, or export a study sheet or CSV. It only reads your collection and never changes your cards.
Keyboard
Every shortcut on the review screen, the deck overview and everywhere else in Anki. Click an action and press a key. If the key is taken, swap it, give the old action a spare key, or unbind it. Smart undo flips back to the question instead of undoing a review.
It also adds review keys for AnKing cards: c reveals the next cloze and v reveals them all,
p copies the image under the mouse (or right-click › Copy image), and g copies the card's
text with the clozes filled in. Open next hint and Open all hints (First Aid, Bootcamp…) can be
bound too.
Settings and About
Light, dark or Auto (follows Anki's night mode), eleven color themes, the window, the top-bar link, and each tab's own options. Tools › Add-ons › Shinjer's Study Desk › Config opens this tab. The About tab has a quick start and links back here.
Quick start
- Choose your decks in Settings. Study Day counts only the decks you pick.
- Check Study Day before you review. See what's left and how long it should take.
- Look at Trouble Spots once a week. First Aid sections over the last 30 days is a good start. The topics at the top are the ones to reread or rewatch.
Good to know
- Your data stays on your computer. The add-on never connects to the internet.
- Study Day and Trouble Spots settings are saved in your collection, so they sync. Look, window and keyboard settings apply to every profile on this computer.
- Trouble Spots works best with AnKing-style tags (
#AK_Step1_v12::#FirstAid::…), but can group by subdeck or any tag.
Problems and ideas
Open an issue. Include your Anki version (Help › About) and, if there was an error window, its text.
