How It Works
Notebook Window When you launch the STUDY NOTES add-on, a new window appears with:
Menu Bar (File, Edit, etc.) Search Bar for text highlighting Toolbar for text formatting (bold, italic, font size, etc.) Tab Area where each note is displayed in a separate tab
File Storage Each note is saved as a .txt file in a dedicated folder (STUDY NOTES - NOTEBOOKS) under your Anki profile. Renaming a note also renames the corresponding file.
Editing & Formatting Use the toolbar for common formatting actions:
Bold (Ctrl+B) Italic (Ctrl+I) Underline (Ctrl+U) Change font family, size, alignment Insert images and bullet/numbered lists
Autosave Mechanism Every 60 seconds, the add-on automatically writes changes in your active note to disk, keeping your work safe.
Multiple Files / Subjects
STUDY NOTES supports multiple text files for different classes or topics. Each note appears as a separate tab. Create a new note via File → New Note, name it, and start typing.
Renaming a Note: Go to File → Rename Note and provide a new name for the active tab. The corresponding .txt file is also renamed. Deleting a Note: Go to File → Delete Note to remove the file and close its tab.
Open as many notes as you need; easily switch between tabs to keep your class topics organized.
Autosaving & Manual Saving
Autosave The add-on automatically saves the current note’s contents every 60 seconds to a .txt file in your Anki profile folder.
Manual Save For manual control, choose File → Save Note. Select a file path or overwrite the existing file.
Tip: Because STUDY NOTES stores these files in your Anki profile, they can be backed up or synced when you use Anki’s built-in profile sync (depending on your sync preferences).
Installation & Usage in Anki
Installation
Copy the add-on folder to your Anki addons21 (or corresponding version) folder. Restart Anki.
Launching the Add-on
Once Anki is open, check the main menu for 📘STUDY NOTES📘. Click 📝 Notebooks to launch the notebook window.
Workflow
Create or open a note. Type, format, and search text as needed. Autosave keeps everything safe, or you can manually save.

Troubleshooting & Support
Add-on Not Appearing in Anki
Verify the folder is in your addonsXX directory. Restart Anki.
Notes Not Saving/Loading
Ensure you have write permissions. Confirm the STUDY NOTES - NOTEBOOKS folder exists inside your Anki profile.
Autosave Conflicts
Avoid editing the same note file in an external program while it’s open in STUDY NOTES.

Great Add-on! Would love the ability to open "Notebooks" via configurable keyboard shortcut.
