If you stay away from Anki for some time(30s), a distracting alarm sounds.
This add-on is a fixed version for Anki25+ of the addon “Anki Time (anti-distraction helper)”, originally created by Hyun Woo Park (trgk_anki) and credit goes to them.
How to use
After installing the add-on, it will activate automatically. If left idle for over 30 seconds in Reviewer an alarm will sound. You can change the timer duration and sound in the Config.
Note There is a reported issue where the original add-on does not work fine on some devices. This issue is still under looking into and remains unresolved, please wait. This fixed version has simplified functionality to make it work and only supports Anki for desktop.

📥 How do I install this add-on? This add-on works with Anki for desktop (it does not work on mobile). Download Anki from the official website if you haven’t already. Copy and paste the add-on code ( 2142212962 ) into Anki and you can install it. ( Menu -> Tools -> Add-ons -> Get Add-ons -> Code [ add-on code ] ) When I develop bug fixes, create new features, or compatibility for New Anki, I will notify you and you can install it. Add-ons will be broken when the official Anki gets a major update, so if you like this add-on please support my volunteer development by rating, sharing, and donating. Thank you!

Volume settings are missing. Comment from author hi thanks for the feedback, I’ll look into it.

It’s great, though the idle alarm wouldn’t detect my spacebar or number keys. I wish it would! Otherwise works fine to combat distractions from other apps even if it doesn’t respond properly to my idling inside of Anki. Therefore still a must-have for easily distracted people! Comment from author Hi thanks for the feedback! That’s a good idea, I’ll look into it.

Must have ADHD add-on, recommend having – idleAlarm: False and ResumeFeedback: False
- idleAlarm: “fixes” the add-on not detecting the spacebar or controller
- ResumeFeedback: disables sound when “resuming reviewing”
- NamelesGO Comment from author Hi NamelessGO thanks for the feedback!👍️ I think it would be convenient if alarms and feedback could be customized so I’m currently developing an add-on similar to this.
