Description

Escalating inactivity notifications to keep you reviewing. When you stop reviewing in Anki, this add-on fires configurable alerts at escalating thresholds — from a quiet desktop tooltip at 15 minutes to a phone-buzzing push at 90 minutes that repeats until you come back. Features Up to 5 escalation stages, each with its own delay, method, message and optional repeat interval Gates: active weekdays, study window, quiet hours, and "only when cards are actually due" Full native GUI for configuration (no JSON editing) Built-in test buttons for every channel {minutes} and {due} placeholders in messages Notification channels Free: Desktop tooltip inside Anki ntfy.sh push (with self-host / priority / auth token support) Telegram bot CallMeBot WhatsApp Generic webhook (IFTTT / Shortcuts / home automation) Paid: Pushover Twilio SMS Twilio voice call Limitations Runs only while Anki is open. It can't nag you to open Anki. Leaving Anki minimised works fine. Configuration Tools → Add-ons → Inactivity Alerts → Config, or Tools menu → Inactivity Alerts — Settings.
