GEMki is a Note Style for Anki, the digital spaced-repetition flashcard software. The note style was originally developed for use by the graduate-entry medical students at the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland '25. The note style can be thought of as a cross between the note style of Anking's premade USMLE deck as well as MarlinAnatomy's deck, with some of our own influence too. Some added features of GEMki include:
- Fade in animations, which makes transitioning between cards less jarring
- A colour scheme which automatically colours text as bold, italic or underlined
- Colours are based off of those seen in Dracula UI
- Info about the card being reviewed in the bottom left (requires the Additional Fields addon)
- Countdown until the next exam, as well as details about that exam (manually added)
- Logo mark to distinguish the source of different cards in a collaborative deck
- Source Sans Pro font as default on both MacOS and on Windows
- Better styled tags at the bottom of the screen (clickable tags functionality supported)
- Support for the "Edit Field During Review (Cloze)" addon, so that ctrl+clicking the text during reviewing allows the user to edit the card, even after it has been flipped
