Description
Long study sessions are grueling enough without constantly juggling browser tabs for white noise, external timer apps, and music players just to stay in the zone.
The Focus Addon builds deep work tools straight into your review screen. It bundles a lightweight Pomodoro timer, an offline soundscape mixer, and smart audio ducking—so the moment a card plays sound (like a heart murmur or pronunciation clip), your background noise automatically mutes so you never miss a beat (lol).

Key Features
- Multi-Track Soundscape Mixer: Layer and balance ambient background audio (Rain, Thunder, Campfire, Mountain Stream, Night Crickets, Coffeehouse, Delta Waves, and more) with individual track volume sliders—100% offline with zero lag.
- Smart Card Audio Ducking: Automatically lowers or mutes ambient tracks whenever a card plays audio (such as heart murmurs, auscultation clips, or language pronunciations) and smoothly fades them back in when the clip finishes.
- System Media Integration: Control external desktop players (Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube) right from the dashboard, with optional auto-pausing during card audio.
- Distraction Shield & Zen Curtain: Automatically dim Anki's native top and bottom toolbars during active review intervals to cut visual clutter and keep your eyes locked on card content.
- Anti-Stall Sentinel: Gentle pacing nudges (or optional auto-flip) keep your study momentum going if you get stuck on a difficult card past your set threshold.
- Guided Break & Breathwork Hub: Interval completions can trigger structured rest modes (Box Breathing, 4-7-8, Physiological Sigh, or 20-20-20 Eye Rest) to help you reset before starting your next block.
