  description

  Anki Retriever connects UWorld to your AnkiKing deck so you never have to manually search for a card again.
  
  After you answer a UWorld question, the extension badge updates with that question's ID. Click the Anki Retriever icon in your Chrome toolbar and Anki's Browser opens instantly, filtered to the exact AnkiKing card for that question.
  
  HOW IT WORKS
  - Reads the question ID from your browser's existing UWorld session data — no extra requests are made to UWorld's servers
  - Communicates only with Anki running locally on your computer (via the AnkiConnect add-on)
  - Nothing is sent to any external server
  
  FEATURES
  - Toolbar badge shows the current question ID after you answer
  - One click opens Anki Browser filtered to tag:*UWorld*::<ID>
  - Hover over the icon to preview the full tag before clicking
  - Works in both live test mode and completed test review mode
  - Alt+A keyboard shortcut as an alternative to clicking
  - Fully local — your data never leaves your machine
  
  REQUIREMENTS
  - AnkiKing deck (ankiking.com)
  - Anki desktop app — free at apps.ankiweb.net
  - AnkiConnect add-on installed in Anki (add-on code: 2055492159)
