Popup Reviewer

An Anki addon that automatically pops up a card for review at a set interval, so you can study without manually opening Anki's reviewer.

How it works

A background timer fires at a set interval. When it does, a popup appears over your current window with the next due card. Grade it, and the popup closes. The timer then resets and counts down from the full interval again.

If you're already in Anki's built-in reviewer when the timer fires, the popup is skipped.

Installation

1. Download or clone this repository
2. Copy the anki-popup-addon folder into your Anki addons directory:

   %APPDATA%\Anki2\addons21\
   

3. Restart Anki
4. The addon will appear under Tools > Popup Reviewer
