About Lichess Woodpecker
โ๏ธ **Lichess Woodpecker** turns Lichess puzzle training into Woodpecker-style practice: collect a set of puzzles, solve them again and again in a new shuffled order, and watch your speed and accuracy improve. ๐
๐ **SAVE PUZZLES**
- ๐งฉ Open any Lichess puzzle, click the toolbar icon and press Save next to a category.
- ๐ Create, rename and delete as many categories as you like. The same puzzle is never saved twice in a category, and a saved puzzle comes out again with one click.
- ๐ Search puzzle IDs across all your categories.
โก **TRAIN IN CYCLES**
- ๐ฏ Press the lightning-bolt button on a category (or "Train all categories") and the extension takes you through its puzzles in random order.
- โฑ๏ธ A small overlay on the Lichess page shows your progress, a timer and your correct, incorrect and skipped counts. Skip a puzzle, restart the cycle (it asks first), pause and continue exactly where you left off, or minimize the overlay.
- โ A correct solve can move on to the next puzzle by itself, while mistakes wait for you so you can study them.
- ๐ When a cycle ends, a score screen shows your first-try accuracy and time, with a one-click Repeat for the next, reshuffled cycle.
- ๐ The overlay follows Lichess's light or dark theme.
๐ **TRACK YOUR PROGRESS**
- ๐ The Statistics tab lists every finished cycle: category, time, puzzles, correct, incorrect, skipped, first-try accuracy and date.
- ๐พ Back up your categories to a file and import them in another browser.
๐ **PRIVATE BY DESIGN**
- ๐ก๏ธ Everything is stored on your device. No account, no tracking, no analytics, and the extension makes no network requests of its own.
- ๐ Permissions are minimal: storage, and temporary access to the tab you open the popup on. The training overlay appears only on lichess.org/training pages.
๐ก **TIP:** Lichess has a setting called "Jump to next puzzle immediately". While it is on, a mistake cannot wait for you to study it, so turn it off for training.
โน๏ธ **DISCLAIMER:** Lichess Woodpecker is an independent project. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Lichess. The Woodpecker Method is a puzzle-repetition training approach popularised by Axel Smith and Hans Tikkanen's book of the same name; this extension is inspired by it.
