Adds a reviewer panel that critiques, explains, rewrites and creates Anki cards via your own AI API key, plus offline comments, highlights, heatmaps and deck tools.
Wraps selected text in customizable HTML tags using a button or hotkeys, letting users style important words per note type through CSS.
Adds a separate drill-training mode outside Anki's SRS system, drilling small card batches until each is answered correctly three times in a row, repeating mistakes and weak cards more often.
Browse and search collection.media to insert images into cards, replace or rename files across every reference, and find unused or duplicate media for recoverable cleanup.
Compares text in a selected deck to find identical, similar and repetitive cards, tagging them by similarity level so redundant duplicates can be reviewed, suspended or deleted.
Lets users edit fields directly during card review using {{edit:Field}} template syntax, saving by clicking outside or pressing Esc, with undo and field-switching shortcuts.
Description
Card Assistant adds two preview-first tools to Anki.
CARD REWRITING Open a note in Edit Current (or review a card), choose Light/Standard/Deep, and get a draft rewrite. Pick the fields and tags to apply; nothing changes until you press Apply to editor or Apply & save. Works with any note type and subject, not only vocabulary. Can also generate the cards.
SIMILAR-WORD DRILLS Choose a deck (subdecks are included automatically), set the sound/spelling mix and score range, and preview scored word pairs. Practise with a two-choice quiz in either direction. Drills never create cards, change scheduling, or write review history.
SETUP
- Requires Anki 2.1.50 or newer (tested on 25.09 for macOS).
- Open Card Assistant -> Provider Settings... and choose Local Ollama or an OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Enter the endpoint, model, and API key.
- The API key is stored only in your Anki profile folder. No pip install is needed.
- Card text is sent to the provider you configure; the add-on does not save prompts or responses.
NOTES
- The pronunciation dictionary is cached in the add-on folder; if it is missing, it downloads once (~3.6 MB).
- Preview is approximate; Anki's template controls the final styling.
- There is no cancel button during a model request; requests use the configured timeout.
Nothing is written to your collection without Apply, and the drills never touch scheduling.
