Anki Connect Plus

An enhancement over the vanilla Anki Connect add-on with additional features for more reliable syncing

Fork of Anki Connect with additional features to facilitate syncing with other projects like our Flashcard Maker for Anki (FMA), Jolin or Yanki Obsidian. Everything that can be done with Anki Connect can also be done with Anki Connect Plus, ensuring compatibility with other add-ons that rely on it.

Anki Connect Plus is compatible with the latest Anki stable release since 23.10.1 (Oct 2023)

The code is available on GitHub

Note

Anki must be kept running in the background for other applications to use Anki Connect Plus. You can verify that Anki Connect Plus is running at any time by accessing `localhost:8765` in your browser. If the server is running, you will see the Anki Connect Plus API version displayed in your browser window.
By default only applications hosted locally or on Soki's domain are allowed access. You can change these settings any time in Tools > Add-ons by selecting "Anki Connect Plus", pressing "Config" and adding an entry to the `webCorsOriginList`.

Notes for Windows Users

Windows users may see a firewall nag dialog box appear on Anki startup. This occurs because Anki Connect Plus runs a local HTTP server in order to enable other applications to connect to it. The host application, Anki, must be unblocked for this plugin to function correctly.

Notes for MacOS Users

Starting with Mac OS X Mavericks, a feature named App Nap has been introduced to the operating system. This feature causes certain applications that are open (but not visible) to be placed in a suspended state. As this behavior causes Anki Connect Plus to stop working while you have another window in the foreground, App Nap should be disabled for Anki:
