Minimalistic Typing Panel
A clean, distraction-free floating scratchpad for Anki.
Minimalistic Typing Panel lets you type notes, answers, or calculations directly during review without leaving your cards. Designed to stay lightweight and out of the way while improving focus and active recall.

Why I Built It
I wanted a simple typing area that didn't interrupt my study flow.
After using it every day, it became part of my own review routine. I decided to share it in case it helps other students as much as it has helped me.
