Decks 2.4.0 Release Notes

🚀 Major Addition: Import from Anki

Coming from Anki? Decks 2.4.0 introduces a built-in one-click importer that brings your entire collection across — your decks, cards, media, and review history come with you. Point it at an Anki .apkg export and you keep studying with FSRS-6, picking up your reviews exactly where Anki left them.

To get started, open the importer from the deck panel toolbar or run the "Import from Anki" command, choose your .apkg file and a target folder, and import.

How the Importer Works

• Completely non-destructive: Your Anki collection is never touched. The import is additive — it writes new files into a target folder you choose, nested under the #decks/anki tag. Re-importing the same file simply overwrites what it generated (and refreshes media).
• Every note type becomes a clean card: Basic notes become auto-laid-out tables or headers; cloze deletions are preserved — including clozes written inside $…$ MathJax; multi-field / templated notes get an auto-generated template so they render the way you designed them; and image-occlusion cards come across as native Decks occlusion.
• Media and math come too: Audio and images are copied into your vault and play/render in review; images keep their original size; LaTeX/MathJax is preserved; Anki tags are grouped and sorted into readable sections.
• Your schedule resumes, it doesn't restart: Each card's scheduling state and full review history are translated to FSRS-6, so cards appear already due on the right date with the right interval.
• Big, media-heavy decks stay smooth: Large decks are automatically split into capped, subfoldered files — by both card count and media-embed count — so a deck with thousands of audio clips still opens quickly in Obsidian.
• Live progress: A progress bar tracks every phase as it runs — reading the collection, writing decks, copying media, syncing, and importing review history — so large imports never look stuck.

Both legacy and modern (compressed) .apkg exports are supported.
