Uses intermittent reinforcement with cute kittens to encourage card review streaks.
- The kittens are spread intermittently through your reviews. By default they will appear around every 10 cards (some take longer than others). You can customize this by editing the add-on.
- Customizable encouragement messages that change based on the card tally
- You can add your own images (see below!)
- Super customizable in all respects you can imagine (frequency, duration, tooltip size, position, color, etc.)
You can customize Ankitty by heading to Tools → Add-ons , selecting Ankitty, and then clicking on Config. Please note that you might have to restart Anki for some of the options to apply.
Adding custom images
You can add your own images to the add-on by heading to Tools → Add-ons, select "Ankitty", and then click on "View Files". A file manager window should pop up and in the list of files and folders you should see a "user_files" folder. Please place your custom images into that folder and then restart Anki. You should now be able to see your custom images (alongside the default images) during your reviews.
If you want to completely disable the default images you can do so by heading to Tools → Add-ons, select "Ankitty", and then click on "Config". In the configuration window, find the "disable_default_images" option and set it to "true". Then restart Anki.
Please note that only files placed in the "user_files" directory will persist across add-on updates. If you modify the default "images" directory which is next to it, your changes will be overwritten the next time you update Ankitty.
Enabling kittens for adding cards
You can enable the add-on for adding cards by heading to the add-on's configuration window (under Tools → Add-ons → Ankitty → Config"), and then changing "count_adding" from "false" to "true". The changes will apply after restarting Anki.
