Tutorial
In a nutshell
Create your vocabulary anywhere — sync it at home on your desktop with Anki. Our app talks locally to your Anki installation so the cards land straight in your deck.
Important disclaimer
To synchronize with Anki, you need a desktop computer (macOS, Windows, or Linux) with the Anki app open. You can create vocab on the go, then sync at home with one click.
Setup
Goal: Install Anki + AnkiConnect and authorize our website so cards can be added to your deck.
Install & launch Anki
Download Anki for macOS, install it, and open Anki.
Install AnkiConnect
In Anki: Tools → Add-ons → Get Add-ons…, enter code 2055492159 → Install → restart Anki.
Configure AnkiConnect (allow our website)
In Anki: Tools → Add-ons → AnkiConnect → Config and paste/check the following (origin exactly, no trailing slash):
{
"apiKey": null,
"apiLogPath": null,
"ignoreOriginList": [],
"webBindAddress": "127.0.0.1",
"webBindPort": 8765,
"webCorsOriginList": [
"http://localhost",
"https://anki-plattform.on-forge.com"
]
}Save and restart Anki.

How it works (one sentence)
Your browser connects locally to AnkiConnect at http://127.0.0.1:8765. We only send the notes—nothing leaves your computer.
Troubleshooting
Is Anki open?
AnkiConnect only works when Anki is running. Open Anki and try again.
Privacy/Ad blocker in the way?
Some protections (e.g., Brave Shields, certain ad/privacy blockers) can block local connections to 127.0.0.1. Fix: Allowlist this website (or temporarily disable the blocker for this site) and try again.
