Description

Inspired by the Anki Format Shuffler add-on (https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/148580004). It still randomizes how your Anki cards look, including fonts, text sizes, styles, spacing, alignment, and bold/italic/underline colorsβ€”without changing your notes or card templates.

Compared with the original version , this version adds:

  • A dedicated settings window with live preview, so you can adjust and test changes visually.
  • Eight bundled fonts, plus importing your own fonts without installing them on your computer.
  • Fish-eye distortion, with adjustable intensity and frequency (still working on making it more visually appealing)
  • Random vertical positioning, with a minimum jump distance between consecutive questions.
  • Readability limits, note-type targeting, presets, and settings backup/import. It also fixes the original margin and bold-style bugs and adds safer handling of missing fonts and card elements. Formatting stays consistent between question and answer, while vertical positioning resets on the answer by default.
