The Frameless Addon

You spend countless hours in Anki. Why let a bulky, outdated system title bar get in the way of a clean workspace?

The Frameless Addon gives Anki a modern look by replacing the default operating system title bar with a clean header and optional sidebar. It brings your app menu, window buttons, and navigation together into one seamless frame—giving you more vertical screen space to focus on your cards.

Whether you use Anki on its own or alongside The Widget Addon and The Focus Addon, it delivers a clean, distraction-free study environment.

Note: This demo is also using The Widget Addon and the AI Chat feature is from the The Notes Addon

A Clean, Modern Workspace

Enjoy a sleek, unified look that blends naturally into your desktop. Switch between a minimal top bar and a convenient sidebar to match how you like to study.

• Unified Top Bar: Merges your menus and window controls into a compact, space-saving header.
• Topbar & Sidebar Layouts: Easily switch between a clean top bar or a collapsible sidebar.
• Adaptive Light & Dark Badges: Crisp Anki logo badges that automatically match your active theme.
• Modern Menus: Rounded, cleanly spaced dropdown menus that look and feel native.
• Polished Typography: Strips out distracting keyboard accelerator underscores for a cleaner look.

Modern Look. Natural Feel.

Unlike many frameless designs that make moving or resizing windows difficult, The Frameless Addon works just like a standard desktop app. You can resize effortlessly from any edge, snap the window anywhere, and use standard title bar shortcuts.

Drag from any open space on the top bar to move your window, or double-click to maximize and restore.

• Smooth Edge Resizing: Resize comfortably from any edge or corner without your cursor getting stuck.
• Windows 11 Rounded Corners: Keeps your operating system's native rounded window corners and soft shadows.
• Effortless Window Snapping: Snaps cleanly to screen edges and works seamlessly with standard window layouts.
• Familiar Controls: Standard minimize, maximize, and close controls work exactly where you expect them to.

The Frameless Addon works out of the box with standard Anki light and dark themes, and syncs seamlessly with companion add-ons.

• The Widget Addon Integration: Automatically matches the color palette of your active dashboard scene in real time.

• Native Themes: Adapts smoothly whenever you switch between Day and Night mode.
