Anki add-on: Hider (by Ankicraft)

Every distraction Anki puts on screen pulls your attention away from the one thing that matters: the card in front of you. Hider strips the interface down to just that card — and puts everything back the moment you leave. 🎯 Hider gives Anki the focus mode it's always been missing. 🪟 Hide the menu bar, top toolbar, and bottom bar during review — they all reappear automatically when you navigate away, so nothing is lost. 📜 Remove the card scrollbar for an even cleaner look; the mouse wheel still works normally. 🎯 Hide the Hard and Easy answer buttons — only Again and Good remain, and their keyboard shortcuts are blocked too so you can't answer by accident. 🖱️ Auto-hide the mouse cursor after a configurable idle time (1–60 s); it comes back the instant you move the mouse. ▶️ Start reviewing automatically when you open a deck, skipping the overview screen entirely (only when there are due cards). ⚙️ Every feature can be toggled independently — enable only what works for your workflow. 🌍 Interface available in 20+ languages , matching Anki's own language setting. HOW TO USE Install the add-on and restart Anki. Open any deck and click Study Now — the configured elements hide automatically. Leave the review screen at any time; everything reappears on its own. To change what gets hidden: Tools → Add-ons → Hider → Config . SETTINGS Go to Tools → Add-ons → Hider → Config to toggle each feature individually and set the cursor idle timeout (default: 3 s). COMPATIBILITY Tested on Anki 24.06+ (Qt6). Tested primarily on Windows; macOS and Linux should work but please report any issues in the comments. CHANGELOG v3.3.0 — 2026-07-15 — Added AnkiCraft branding, welcome dialog, and support footer in the config dialog. save_config() now preserves internal meta keys. v3.2.0 — Previous release. Free forever, and open source (AGPLv3). If this add-on saves you time, you can support its development: 👍 Enjoying it?
