Maintain your flashcards in a markdown file. Sync periodically with Anki without losing progress.

flashimp interfaces directly with the Anki installation on your OS. No additional Anki plugins or special steps are necessary.

Usage

• Prerequisites
  • Working installation of uv as it's used for dependency management
  • ⚠️ Manually created Anki profile called flashimp by default needs to exist ⚠️. It's to keep flashimp flashcards isolated from other decks for safety.
