Description

Hide unnecessary parts of Anki's interface and create a cleaner, more focused study environment. Choose which elements to hide, with simple settings and keyboard shortcuts. No coding required.

Features

  • Scrollbars: Hide horizontal and/or vertical scrollbars in Anki's embedded web views, including the reviewer, editor, browser, deck options, and preferences.
  • Menu bar: Hide the top menu containing File, Edit, Tools, Help, and other menus.
  • Status bar: Hide the status bar at the bottom of the Anki window.

Configuration

Go to Tools → Add-ons → Hide UI Elements → Config to customize the add-on.

  • Hide scrollbars: Enable or disable scrollbar hiding.
  • Hide horizontal scrollbar: Hide horizontal scrollbars.
  • Hide vertical scrollbar: Hide vertical scrollbars.
  • Hide menu bar: Hide the top menu.
  • Hide status bar: Hide the bottom status bar.

All options are disabled by default. You can change the settings at any time.

Keyboard Shortcuts

  • Ctrl + Shift + M — Toggle the menu bar.
  • Ctrl + Shift + S — Toggle the status bar.
  • Ctrl + Shift + B — Toggle scrollbars.

Press the same shortcut again to restore an element. Shortcuts can be changed or disabled in Config.

Notes

  • Scrolling still works. Hiding scrollbars does not disable scrolling.
  • Easy to undo. Restore hidden elements using their shortcuts or the configuration window.
  • Restart if needed. Some changes may require restarting Anki.
  • Desktop only. For Anki on Windows, macOS, and Linux. AnkiMobile for iPhone and iPad is not supported.

A cleaner interface. Fewer distractions. More focus on your cards.
