Send your words to Anki

Leafy makes the card for you when you look a word up. Anki needs one free add-on first, and Leafy can install it.

You need Anki on this Mac, version 23.10 or newer.

Let Leafy set it up

  1. Open Anki and leave it running.
  2. In Leafy: Settings → Anki → Set up.
  3. Click Set it up for me.
  4. Click Restart Anki when it asks. It says All set. Done for good.

Or do it yourself

Click Do it myself in that same card.

  1. In Anki: Tools › Add-ons, or press ⇧⌘A.
  2. Click Get Add-ons…, then paste the code Leafy is showing you (there's a copy button beside it) and click OK.
  3. Quit Anki and open it again. The add-on does nothing until Anki has restarted.

The add-on is AnkiConnect, free, written by Alex Yatskov. Leafy changes nothing else in your collection.

Sending words

  • One word: click Add to Anki in the word view.
  • Pick the deck: the arrow beside that button, or New Deck….
  • A whole folder: give the folder a deck and everything in it goes. Untick anything you don't want first.
  • Everything from now on: turn on Send every word in Settings, Anki.

Good to know

  • Anki has to be open. Otherwise words wait in Leafy and go over next time.
  • Change the card layout in Settings, Anki, and cards already in Anki change too. Sync your other devices first.
  • Deleting on one side never deletes on the other.
  • Says Add-on missing? Quit Anki, open it again, click Check again.
