Anki add-on: Review Insights

Review Insights: History Bar & Problem Notifier Review Insights is a tool for metacognition, designed to encourage a more thoughtful review process. By providing context about a card's history, it helps you identify challenging material and prompts you to slow down and think, rather than quickly guessing an answer. A Gentle Heads-Up on the Question Side A simple prompt to encourage deliberate recall. Contextual History on the Answer Side Understand the "why" behind your review. How It Helps Your Reviews ⚠️ 1. The Notifier: A Prompt to Pause A gentle heads-up appears on the question side for cards you frequently struggle with. This isn't meant to be stressful, but to give you a moment to pause and recall the information more deliberately. Mindful Recall: The prompt acts as a cue to engage more deeply with the material instead of relying on muscle memory. You Define 'Difficult': You have full control over what triggers the notification, based on total lapses or recent failures. Encourages Deeper Processing: Knowing a card is historically tricky can help you focus on forming stronger connections to the material. 📊 2. The History Bar: Understanding Your Learning Pattern After you answer, a visual timeline shows the card's entire review history. This helps you see patterns: Was this card always hard? Did you forget it after a long break? This context can inform how you approach it next time. See the Full Story: Colored squares provide an at-a-glance history of every rating you've given the card. Detailed Tooltips: Hover over any square to see the specifics of that review, like the date, interval, and ease factor. Customize the Look: The appearance can be adjusted to fit your theme, ensuring it's helpful but not distracting. ⚙️ Configuration Nearly every feature can be adjusted to your personal preference via the Anki Add-on Config menu (Tools → Add-ons → Select Review Insights → Config). ❤️ Credits and Origins This add-on is an evolution of and is built upon the foundational code of the excellent Card Rating History During Review add-on by user jerryzhou196 .
