Can you add ability to hide main menu but keep browe or add menu? I use too much tabs and it’s difficult to handle everything.

I spent like 2 hours trying to figure out how to get Anki to run in the background before I finally stumbled upon this and it just works. Thank you.

Wow this is exactly what I needed the most! Thank you!

This is a great add-on! It streamlines my workflow by letting me quickly add notes to Anki whenever I learn something new without needing to open it constantly. And it works as intended in Anki 24.

It is useful for me. Does not distract the icon on the main panel. (Windows 10, 11)
P.S. For the work of the plugin, I had to reboot the program.

A genuinely useful addon. Keeps Anki out of the way until you need it.

It works but it crashes if you have it set hidden on startup and you start Anki without internet connection

I really appreciate all the effort of the developer, it’s a really really useful one and it makes life much easier. There’s only a not-serious-error thrown sometimes that I have reported on GitHub if you want to look into. Thanks.

So convenient to have it in the tray. Thank you

Great add-on! Works as described, instead of shutting down upon closing (via keyboard shortcut or with the mouse) Anki will be kept active in a little Anki tray icon that’s always there, but will be cleared from the taskbar.

Works flawlessly, this should really be included with Anki by default.
