Description
Handsfree saffytaffy anki
no remotes needed
Control desktop Anki with face and hand gestures using your webcam. No coding, AI account, or terminal is required.
Face controls
- Right-eye wink: Easy
- Left-eye wink: Hard
- Raise both eyebrows: Good
- Close both eyes, then reopen: Again
Any enabled recognized gesture except Undo reveals the answer first. Relax, then make a rating gesture to grade. Undo (left palm swipe) works before or after revealing the answer so you can return to the previous card. Space and normal Anki controls keep working.
Start using it
- Install the add-on and restart desktop Anki.
- Open Handsfree Anki → Open Handsfree saffytaffy anki….
- If offered, click Set up camera support for the one-time download. It is about 270–340 MB; allow roughly 2 GB free space during setup.
- Start the camera and look forward with a relaxed face during automatic calibration. Test gestures in Practice. Winks need no training; use Train eyebrow raise… for the eyebrow control.
- Select Review and start a deck to control cards. Minimize camera keeps tracking active; closing the panel stops it.
Settings and privacy
Wink and eyebrow sensitivity are adjustable. Both-eyes-closed timing can be set from 0.1 to 0.6 seconds (default 0.5). Original hand controls are enabled; head controls start off and can be enabled in Settings.
Camera processing stays on your computer. Camera recordings and training samples are not saved or uploaded. Only learned numeric eyebrow settings are saved locally. Internet is needed for the initial camera-support download.
Compatibility
Requires desktop Anki 26.9.3 or newer. Beta version 0.6.4. Live tested on Apple Silicon macOS with Anki 26.9.3, including a user-confirmed answer reveal in Review mode. Windows x64, Intel Mac, and Linux x64 have runtime setup paths but have not been verified on real devices. Gesture accuracy depends on lighting, camera position, and your face; start in Practice.
Desktop Anki is required. AnkiConnect is not required.
