game changer!

very disappointed because I really wanted this to work for me, it would e very helpfull.but it didn't. I was never able to rank my cards through my phone, I even waited for an update, but it was not fixed :/
edit: the problem was that my anki was set on portuguese, what does not work. I would like to be able to set the add-on on my primary languege, but thats ok. verry helpfull tool.

Support for all languages will come in ~ 1.5 months

This is awesome!

This. Is. Amazing. You changed my life... Whoever you are, I love you.

Perfect!

Game changer! Love this addon so far.

Super great, but I have a question, how can i set one of the CMD options to the "set due date" button on the iPhone?
Comment from author
I'm not sure what "set due date" you are referring to - is it a feature from another addon?
If you open a new github bug report, we can talk back and forth there.

Amazing add-on, makes reviewing very comfortable. I was going to buy a controller for the sake of remote control but this saved my money and time. I plan on using this to do anki review nights with med school friends :) Thank you so much!!!

Works well

Great tool, especially when I forget my remote control somewhere else!

Just lovely ^^

Awesome addon, good balance between customizable and intuitive. Love the amboss addon feature.
Would you be able to make it work with "Advance Review Bottom Bar"? I don't want to have to choose between it and this addon!
Thanks!

Damn this is def one of the best Anki control add ons there is.Not only is it simple and easy to setup and control, there's even amboss integration in it!
Although I would say a physical controller is still superior, this is perfect for when I'm in not home and don't have access to my controller. 10/10

This addon is a game changer. I was about to buy myself a controller and hook it up to my PC so I can do my reviews more comfortably until I found this. Thank you very much to the author of this. This has to be one of the best addons there are for Anki, a must have.
PS: The addon wasn't working for me either, I thought that it had to be some interference with another addon, but no because I tested it by disabling all of the addons I have. The problem was the language that my Anki was on. I switched it to English (United States) and it started working. So for the people that have this problem, you might want to try this solution to see if it works

Brilliant, possibly one of the best add-ons out there. Thank you so much for your work! If I could make a suggestion, it would be awesome if the feedback option was available even when not using the remote, but I understand that might be difficult to implement

Glad you like it. If you have any ideas on a better way to show connection status feel free to email me or make a suggestion on the github page

Likely causes:
* Having button colors or another addon that modifies the answer buttons. Try seeing if it works without other addons active.
* Anki not being in English so the answer buttons are not in English
Try making a github issue so we can talk back and forth if you still can't get it to work

great idea, works amazing, takes a lil time to get used to the controls but overall its well done

Very helpful add on!!!
Thank you.
Thank you.

Wow... I was thinking of buying one of those small keyboards that have only numbers on them to make my reviews easier on my wrists, but you have saved my life!!!

Thank you so much for creating this great add-on!

Works great! Now I don't have to buy a controller

NOT WORKING WITH LATEST VERSION WHICH RELEASED THIS WEAK
Comment from author
Works just fine for me. If you want help using it, you'd be better off contacting me on github where we can have a back and forth conversation.

Works like a charm

Such a handy add on to have. So happy this was created.

My favorite addon

The QR code doesn't pop up for me. Any solution?

Great app. Is there a way to get the visual feedback even if using a keyboard/xbox controller/etc?

Makes doing cards very comfortable, I can put my laptop further away with larger font to prevent strain on my eyes. Plus I can sit in comfortable positions!

Thank you so much for creating such a useful product! I am still bed bound from an injury and find this add-on to be super useful for keeping up with my reviews.
I have modified my keyboard shortcuts to pull up other useful functions on Anki. Can you tell me how I can configure the custom commands to simulate pressing a specific key? For example, I want to configure command 2 (cmd 2) to simulate pressing the key “h” .
Thank you!

Comment from author
Simulating a key press is not possible to my knowledge but chances are there's a way to trigger that action directly by calling the function with code. Can you make a github question about this and write what things you'd like to do with the custom commands?

Totall changed the way I use Anki for better, great job! this cant be said enough. Also how do i use this addon with Anki Zoom, a little nudge in the right direction would be really helpful.
Comment from author
Just zoom in and out on the card with the Anki Zoom options in the tools menu, or the Ctrl+ / Ctrl- shortcuts (Cmd instead of Ctrl on mac).
You can also set is as a custom action on Ankimote with the following commands in config:
Zoom in:
"mw.zoom_submenu.actions()[0].trigger() if 'zoom_submenu' in mw.__dict__.keys() else showInfo('Anki Zoom addon not found')"
Zoom out:
"mw.zoom_submenu.actions()[1].trigger() if 'zoom_submenu' in mw.__dict__.keys() else showInfo('Anki Zoom addon not found')"

you win. we in. this is perfect. appreciate it.

This is so amazing! Thank you so much. Would it be possible for me to tweak the code so I could change the size of the status button that appears if I click Good, Again, etc.? If that's possible, would you mind telling me which file contains the code for the dimensions of those buttons? Again, thank you so much for your hard work. :))
Comment from author
It's in init.py, line 253. Changing "font-size: 24px" on that line should work. I'll eventually push an update where that size is customizable.

Easy to use and really helpful. Was just about to buy a controller when I found this and I am so glad I did. Just make sure you disable the "button colors" addon (which is written in the description but I still forgot - my bad!)

adds a ton of functionality and helps me not slouch over my computer for hours on end (:

Stopped working after the latest update! :/ screen won't load on phone.
Comment from author
Strange, this doesn't seem to happen for most people. Try clearing your browser cache on your phone.

I guess this add-on will be awesome but the thing is the URL page takes forever to load and then it never redirects me to the remote page? Idk what to do actually :(

Total game changer! It's so much better than using a controller. One thing I'd love to see added is a small window on the phone's screen that shows you the number of reviews/new/ learing cards left since it's hard to see when you're sitting far away, or maybe perhaps a mini progress bar, but other than that this add on is perfect!
Ps: I installed this on anki ver 2.1.22 using the link you provided in reddit and it worked flawlessly so I think you might wanna decrease the requirement since so many people( like me) put off updating to the latest versions until they confirmed all their add ons are compatible. Thank you!

Good idea. Unfortunately not available for older versions. I use 2.1.22

This is good. Thank you fellow ankier
It would be fantastic to be able to link a button / gesture to bury / suspend

Great Addon

This is up there with the greats, amazing addon

Works perfectly but like the author says, need to delete any addon that modifies the again/good/easy buttons

awesome . i can not thank you enough.

Such a smooth add-on! Love it, thank you for this!

A great way to increase the functionality of Anki, and very efficiently at that. This could very quickly and easily allow someone to mirror Anki onto a TV and study through a deck with as little as a finger swiping the entire time. Brilliant work and beautifully executed!

This a great add on - been waiting for something like this for a long time. Super easy to set up - you don't need to download a separate app for your phone - just use the internet browser (i.e. Chrome). Makes doing anki more comfortable - you can sit back in your chair and just use your phone as a remote.

Awesome add-on, was just about to purchase a bluetooth remote before I saw this. This add-on offers much more customizability and is also free - thanks!!!!

wow this is super useful, makes my studying a lot faster and much more comfortable now that I don't have to be hunched over the space bar all day lol

ey yo, this is lit
