    Anki add-on to help you keep track of your review activity

  • I don't usually actively search for gamification add-ons for Anki, but I think some extensions I use currently express some aspect of gamification: 1. Review Heatmap visually shows the amount of days where you reviewed & didn't review Anki. It serves as a progress bar and motivator to continue to do daily reviews. However, I don't know how long you plan to run your experiment for: if it's only for a few days then it may not be a very strong motivator. 2. Speed Focus Mode caps the amount of time you can spend recalling a card to a user-specified amount, and auto-flips the card after the time limit. This add-on significantly changes the way that I review Anki. When using this add-on, I find myself being more willing to accept that I forgot something, as I'm motivated by the timer to just put out an answer by the time limit, even if said answer is wrong. When using this addon, you may have challenges knowing what time limit to set on the cards, however, depending on how complex the cards are. I usually have to spend much more time on my japanese cards than english vocabulary cards, for example, to recall something.
