This is an Anki addon that integrates with the Malleus notion database to seamlessly manage Malleus clinical medicine cards. The addon allows you to search the Malleus Notion database, find existing cards with matching tags, and create new cards with proper tagging.

2. Select your database (Subjects or Pharmacology)
3. Enter a search term
4. Select the subtag you want to search for (leave as Tag to ignore subtag)
5. Choose the relevant pages from the search results
6. Click “Find Cards” to search for existing cards with matching tags

Creating New Cards

1. Follow steps 1-5 above
2. Click “Create Cards” to open the Add Cards window
3. The cards will be pre-filled with the appropriate tags

Note that you want to select a subject tag for the cards you are creating on. If you are unsure of what particular subtag to use, you can select Main Tag. Additionally you can access the menu from the add card dialogue.

Through ankiweb

Now on ankiweb: https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/620451841. To download this add-on, please copy and paste the following code into Anki 2.1:

620451841

Manual Installation

1. Download the extension files
2. Place the extensions files in your Anki addons folder:

Windows

Windows: %APPDATA%\Anki2\addons21\

macOS

Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Anki2/addons21/

Linux

Linux: ~/.local/share/Anki2/addons21/

3. Restart Anki

If need be, you can also manually update the cache yourself using the python script update_notion_cache.py (takes a little bit of time)

python3 ./update_notion_cache.py

Configuration

If you have renamed or moved the Malleus deck it is worthwhile to change deck_name in the add on configuration manager to the correct name. This way the create card button will open to the correct deck.

The cache_expiry is the number of days after which the local database copy of the notion database will expire and any pages updated since the local database copy will be updated.

Directions for the Future

• Add button in editor page
• Publish to Ankiweb addons
• Keep local cache and update only newly updated
• Add configuration for:
  • Keybindings
  • Default deck location
  • Cache expiry duration
• Add eTG database
• Add rotation database
• Add guidelines database
• Integrate full database syncs using python script
• Integrate with local LLM or neural network to suggest tags

Troubleshooting

This extension requires access to the internet to use the notion API. Please ensure you are using it while connected to the internet.

There are some issues when trying to use the add-on while the database is being updated. Try re-installing the addon if issues occur.

Limitations

I have not yet implemented full database syncs into the add on. Full database syncs can take a bit of time unfortunately and I will update the cache and re-upload the Anki addon when this occurs. I could consider writing a script in python to do this on a publicly hosted github repository and then the cache can be downloaded the cache from there.
