README
Auto Reveal (Customizable Answer Timer)
An Anki addon that automatically flips the card and shows the answer after a delay.
Why?
When reviewing flashcards, it's easy to overthink — spending 30+ seconds struggling to remember a word or concept, often ending in frustration.
This addon helps break that cycle by automatically showing the answer after a set time.
Just enough to test recall, but not long enough to get stuck.
It’s not about being lazy.
It’s about being kind to your brain.
