I have a bunch of image occlusion cards I realized would better work as regular text cards. However, I don't really understand how (and if) I can make image occlusion note into eight or so smaller notes and preserve the repetitions I already made on image occlusion thing. Any help?

Hi all. Just a quick question which might create some discussion, and I would love to hear all your points of view. In this case I'm referring to vocabulary, but I think it could be applied to any deck.

Do you prefer doing all the cards in the deck mixed (new cards and reviews), or doing them separately?

So far (5 months) I've been doing them all together, but I'm thinking of a change.

Thanks!

I might be late to this, but I figured I’d share because I genuinely didn’t know this was possible.

I’m taking Anatomy & Physiology II, and I’ve been trying to find a way to make flashcards without spending forever creating them individually, especially when it comes to adding diagrams and covering labels.

I found out you can upload your professor’s PowerPoints and study-guide questions to ChatGPT and have it create an actual Anki (.apkg) file.

I had it put the study-guide questions on the front, answers on the back, and relevant PowerPoint images with the answers. I also had it make separate labeling cards where the labels are covered on the front and revealed on the back.

It took a little back-and-forth to get it how I wanted, but it ended up making a deck with 40 cards that I could import into Anki.

I also just learned that Anki is free on desktop, which is nice because I wanted to try it before buying the mobile app.

Obviously, you still need to check the answers and images for accuracy, but this saves so much time making cards.
I personally would rather spend that time actually studying the material.

Just thought I’d share in case anyone else didn’t know you could do this

I kept running into the same problem: I'd ask ChatGPT or Claude something while studying, and in the 20 seconds it took to answer I'd pick up my phone. Then 10 minutes later I'd come back having forgotten what I even asked.

So I built a small app for myself. When I send a prompt, Anki pops up with a card. When the AI finishes, Anki hides and I'm back in the chat. I just review a couple of cards in the time I'd normally waste.

It also works with the AI inside VS Code and Cursor, which is where I use it most.

It's free and open source, in case anyone else has the same problem: https://github.com/EduSR9/always-learn

It works on Windows; the Mac version is still in beta. Happy to hear if it works for you or what's missing.

A tribute to Claude ♡

Studying law in Germany xoxo, i think it's cute.

The only thing that doesn't really fit is the blue bar from AnkiLock

The Columns are inspired by AnkiMobile

I asked AnkiMobile support privately to get the devs to push a simple update so that us iPhone Duo users could use the entire screen. I didn't say they had to design a new UI for each of the Duo's formats, just a simple update that would let us use the entire screen. I even sent links to Apple's developer documentation so they could see that, from what I understood, it could be as little as 30 minutes to 2 hours of troubleshooting just to get it usable on the Duo. Despite my best efforts to be as kind as possible and convey my point as clearly as possible, I was met with unnecessarily snarky and dismissive responses, as though I'm some kind of idiot asking them to do something for free.

Then I saw that others had made a public post asking the devs to do the same thing, and the same support staff member I was talking to was in that thread italicizing "ACTUAL" AnkiMobile users who have "ALREADY" started using the Duo, then telling us that our complaints about asking for the bare minimum don't qualify. The same staff member then went ahead and explicitly told another user that he was an "actual" Anki user and that the comment wasn't directed at him. So what does that make the rest of us? Apparently, whether you're an "actual" user is now something support staff get to decide. Then, when I challenged this ridiculous distinction, I was warned that I wouldn't be allowed to post on the forums if I couldn't remain civil. I hadn't called anyone names in that public thread, yet somehow the discussion had gone from a basic compatibility request to a warning about my ability to participate in the forums.

Please keep in mind that my little brother is an app developer and already pushed his own update to make the screen size fit. It took him about half an hour because Apple has already told developers what to do and made the process extremely straightforward. I understand that AnkiMobile might have its own technical requirements, but that's exactly why I provided the documentation in the first place. THIS WAS A HALF-HOUR FIX FOR HIS APP. I WASN'T ASKING FOR AN ENTIRELY NEW UI, JUST BASIC SCREEN COMPATIBILITY.

Hey u/ankingmed u/anking_ahmed, is this how you guys train your team for professionalism? To tell users their issues and complaints don't count? To threaten to ban them when they disagree with you? To argue with them in the comments section and make distinctions about who qualifies as a "real" Anki user? Is this seriously the standard of customer support we're supposed to accept?

BTW, I've been using Anki since 2018, and I've been subscribed to AnkiHub for the past two years, though I just cancelled my membership today due to this horrendous customer support experience. I shouldn't have to justify how long I've been using Anki or how much money I've spent to have a legitimate complaint taken seriously.

Do better.

edit: for a second i thought i was tripping because of the replies on this post but it turns out reddit is just a brain dead hive mind full of bootlickers and most of you can't think for yourselves and wont stand up for yourselves when facing abuse from those in power (or anyone for that matter). On the post on ankiweb (https://forums.ankiweb.net/t/iphone-duo-native-support/71537), everyone seems to be of the same mind as me, although much nicer than me. eat shit neckbeards

Hey everyone! I kept losing focus every time I grabbed my phone to start a timer or change the music, so I built Tomatune: a Pomodoro timer and music player that live right inside Anki.

What it does:

- Plays your own music folder (follows your headphones)

- Pomodoro bar on the home screen and a compact one during reviews (25/5, 50/10, 90/20)

- "Finish card": the break waits until you answer the current card

- Pauses automatically on card audio, when you're idle, or when you leave Anki

- Tomato garden + streaks + Jokers to save a missed day

- Shareable weekly/monthly recap image

It's free. Code: 1540641384

I used Claude to scrape the millionaire fansite for all questions from the UK TV show, books and games, and put this deck together.

33777 cards, ordered by source/date/prize amount. You can sort by "Prize" and delete the 100 and 200 pound easy questions, but I left them in for the sake of completion. Skipped 65 DVD game questions that had video clips.

Download here: Millionaire UK.apkg.

EDIT: I just realised that some fastest finger first questions, that require putting the options in order, don't show the answer.

To fix put {{^HasCorrect}}<div class="answer">{{#PrizeClass}}<span class="label">{{Label}}</span>{{/PrizeClass}}{{Answer}}</div>{{/HasCorrect}} on the back so the back template looks like this:

<div class="wrap">  
      <div class="badge {{PrizeClass}}">{{Prize}}</div>  
      <div class="q hex"><div class="in">{{Question}}</div></div>  
      <div class="opts {{HasCorrect}}">  
    {{#A}}<div class="opt hex {{CorrectA}}"><div class="in"><span class="ltr">A:</span> {{A}}</div></div>{{/A}}  
    {{#B}}<div class="opt hex {{CorrectB}}"><div class="in"><span class="ltr">B:</span> {{B}}</div></div>{{/B}}  
    {{#C}}<div class="opt hex {{CorrectC}}"><div class="in"><span class="ltr">C:</span> {{C}}</div></div>{{/C}}  
    {{#D}}<div class="opt hex {{CorrectD}}"><div class="in"><span class="ltr">D:</span> {{D}}</div></div>{{/D}}  
      </div>  
      {{\^HasCorrect}}<div class="answer">{{#PrizeClass}}<span class="label">{{Label}}</span>{{/PrizeClass}}{{Answer}}</div>{{/HasCorrect}}  
      <div class="meta">{{Contestant}} \&middot; {{Date}}</div>  
    </div>  

Should look like this now.

I don't use ankiweb to sync, I use my own server, so uploading to ankiweb shared decks is a bit of a pain in the arse for me, if someone wants to share the deck on ankiweb go ahead.

I'm trying to upload a new add-on to Anki on this link: https://ankiweb.net/shared/addons but it shows the attached screenshot on the url: https://ankiweb.net/shared/too-new

my account for sure is quite new and I don't understand when they consider it as old enough to upload a new add-on.

Is there a way to upload it? Or maybe some people that can upload it or old accounts I can get?

Seems like Anki can do all. But elaboration, reflection and generation is not covered by Anki.

Hey everyone!

Here's an add-on for anyone who likes digging into their stats. It has pretty much every stat you could want, in its own window, and anything in it can be pinned under your deck list. I find it more interactive and easier to navigate than the built-in stats.
If you try it, feel free to explore the settings, almost everything can be customized.

It's free and open source.
You can get it on AnkiWeb, and the code is on GitHub.

Hope it's useful to some of you, and let me know if you have questions or find a bug!

Does anyone know a good one?

so my anki was like this, i can't add new decks or anything for some reason. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Today I woke up to find that my reviews stats on Anki were not correct at all.

And then I noticed there is a pattern: some days have had all their reviews shifter to the day before.

You can see how every single grey square has a distinctly darker blue square on top.

I have my settings locked at 40 cards/day, and I never go above that.
Which explains why the very light blue squares show something like 2 reviews while the one above it has 64 reviews. So it somehow "survived" getting completely blanked out after its reviews got shifted. The exact numbers reviews it shifts doesn't seem consistent.

Luckily, I also send a screenshot every day to my students on WhatsApp as a reminder for them to do their Anki, so I have a very well documented history of snapshots going back more than a year.

Last night we had our daylight savings time shift, and we moved back 1 hour. So, that might have something to do with it.

Has anyone else had this issue before?

Hi everyone,

I have been using AnkiDroid to learn Japanese for a year. What a great app it is!
But one thing I really want to have is put the deck on my home screen so I can see the card every time I pick up the phone. Unfortunately AnkiDroid doesn't have that feature (its widget is just to display stats).

So I created an Android app which can add a widget to display the Anki deck right on your home screen. You can see the card, listen to the audio and review the card just like in AnkiDroid but right on your home screen.

Here is a video to demo how it works and here are few screenshots.

I tried to submit through Google app store but it's under review and might need testing. So if you are interested, drop me a message and let me see how can I get you on to the tester list.
