Description

A Lofi button in Anki's top toolbar (next to Decks · Add · Browse · Stats · Sync) that plays lofi music while you review, inspired by lowfi and using its tracklists.

Click to play/pause; the button is underlined while playing and its tooltip shows the track.
Right-click for next track, a volume slider, the music source and "Choose folder...".
Shortcuts that work in every Anki window (editable in the add-on config): Ctrl+Alt+L play/pause, Ctrl+Alt+N next track, Ctrl+Alt+Up/Down volume.
Ducking: while a card's audio or video plays, the music fades down (to 20% by default) and comes back afterwards. Works for [sound:] audio and for note types that play <audio>/<video> inside the card.
Sources: Chillhop and Lofi Girl (archive.org) from lowfi's tracklists, any lowfi-format .txt you drop in user_files/tracklists/, or your own music folder.
Remembers volume, source and whether it was playing; stops when Anki closes and resumes on the next start.

Playback uses Qt Multimedia (bundled with Anki's PyQt6), so nothing else needs installing. Tested on Anki 26.x (Windows).

Config

Tools > Add-ons > Lofi > Config: shortcuts, volume step, duck level and fade times, music folder, and the button's label and playing style.

Install

Download lofi-<version>.ankiaddon from Releases and double-click it (or Tools > Add-ons > Install from file), then restart Anki. Or copy this folder into your Anki addons21 folder as lofi.

Releasing

python package.py builds dist/lofi-<version>.ankiaddon locally. Pushing a tag vX.Y.Z makes GitHub Actions build lofi-X.Y.Z.ankiaddon and attach it to a new release.

Config

See config.md: shortcuts, volume step, duck level and fade times, music folder, and the button's label and playing style.
