Anki add-on: Anki Von Restorff

The Anki Von Restorff add-on enhances your Anki reviews by applying the Von Restorff effect, making specific cards or notes visually distinct to improve memorability. It highlights a randomly selected card or note every X reviews with a customizable style. Features Customizable Styles : Goofy : Choose background color, font color, and font type (e.g., Arial, Comic Sans MS) using a color picker. Inverted : Fixed white text on a dark background for high contrast. Flexible Targeting : Apply the effect to individual cards or all cards of a note. Configurable Interval : Set how often the effect appears (e.g., every 20 cards). Dynamic UI : Hides color/font options when the inverted style is selected. Debug Logging : Optional logs for troubleshooting. Installation from Source Download the add-on ZIP from AnkiWeb or GitHub .
