Anki-Claude

This program was built for direct integration of Claude into Anki. Ask the terminal a question as you would any LLM. The program receives the full Anki card as context with every query submitted (manual click or Shift+Return), and outputs an answer on the same screen. You may also choose the model you wish to use, and see the cost (typically, <1 cent) per query and the total cost over the lifetime of the program.

Notes may also be added to each card in the notes tab and are autosaved locally with each keystroke. Notes and their corresponding cards are also searchable (Ctrl+Shift+S). Terminal dimensions may be configured on the panel itself.
