Anki add-on: AnkiLock

AnkiLock connects your Anki desktop progress to your iPhone/iPad to help you build an unbreakable study habit. It uses your daily review stats to lock distracting apps (like Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube) on your device until you reach your daily study goal. Treat your Anki reviews as the key to unlock your digital life. CORE FEATURES Sync to iOS: Automatically sends your daily review counts and pending card stats to the AnkiLock mobile app upon syncing. Lock Distractions: Configure "Shields" on your iPhone to block specific apps until your Anki goals are met. Flexible Goals: Support for fixed card counts (e.g., "50 cards/day") or dynamic percentage goals (e.g., "finish 100% of Due cards"). Deck Selection: Choose specifically which decks count towards your unlock goal (e.g., only count your "Med School" deck, ignore "Fun Facts"). Social & Leaderboards: Add friends, compete on daily leaderboards, and send "Cheers" (push notifications) to motivate each other. HOW TO GET STARTED Install this add-on (Restart Anki after installation). Download "AnkiLock" on the iOS App Store . Create an account in the iOS app. In Anki, click "AnkiLock" in the menu bar -> Sign In . Click "AnkiLock" -> Select Decks to filter which reviews count. Just Study! Your stats will sync automatically whenever Anki syncs. REQUIREMENTS Anki Desktop: Version 2.1.45+. iOS App: Requires an iPhone running iOS 17.6 or later. Account: You need to create a free account in the mobile app to link your devices.
