Anki add-on: Board Deadline Signal

Boards Deadline Signal Built for students in dedicated who want to keep review intervals aligned with a fixed exam date. Boards Deadline Signal adds a small Reviewer overlay that shows the scheduled date for each answer button (Again, Hard, Good, Easy) and compares those dates to your Boards deadline. It helps you quickly see whether each choice keeps you before or pushes you after your target date, so you don’t accidentally pick an interval that schedules the card beyond your exam. Example Again → 02-16-26 (Before deadline) Hard → 03-01-26 (Before deadline) Good → 04-15-26 (After deadline) Easy → 06-10-26 (After deadline) What it shows Per-button due date in MM-DD-YY Before / After status relative to your deadline Smart Display Rules Show only when it matters ( only_show_when_it_matters ) Shows the computed dates only when there is a split: At least one option is before the deadline And at least one option is after the deadline Default: enabled Show on question side ( show_on_question_side ) Shows a placeholder shell ( -- ) before answer reveal Keep overlay frame visible ( persist_overlay_shell ) Keeps the movable overlay frame visible even when the payload is hidden Settings Target date ( target_date ) (required) — format: YYYY-MM-DD Enable indicator ( enable_indicator ) Show only when it matters ( only_show_when_it_matters ) Show on question side ( show_on_question_side ) Keep overlay frame visible ( persist_overlay_shell ) Non-goal This add-on does not modify Anki’s scheduling.
