Importing from Anki

What comes across, and what doesn't.

Open an .apkg file from Files, Mail or Safari with “Open in RectoVerso”, or use + › Import Anki deck… (also in ⋯ › Settings). Each top-level Anki deck becomes a RectoVerso deck, its subdecks included.

What comes across: the cards, their pictures and sounds, and their schedule and review history. Importing a deck again updates the deck it made. What you studied in RectoVerso wins, and cards you wrote in that deck stay.

What doesn’t: RectoVerso tells you after the import, with a count for each.

  • Image occlusion.
  • Drawings a card’s template makes.
  • Answers that are only a sound.
  • Clozes that are empty.
  • Pictures on the web rather than in the file.
  • Sounds in Ogg, a format iOS can’t play (they’re kept, but don’t play).
