Anchor Cards documentation
Your cards are Markdown in Anchor Cloud or your own GitHub repository. Anchor reads them to quiz you, and writes back only your review log and a snapshot of what you keep forgetting.
This documentation is the public specification. If it disagrees with the app, one of the two is wrong — either a bug to fix or a page to rewrite. Where iOS, Android and macOS behave differently, it says so.
Start here
- 01What Anchor Cards isA spaced-repetition app that holds no cards of its own. Your cards are Markdown in Anchor Cloud or your GitHub repo; the app only reads them and quizzes you.
- 02Getting startedInstall it, try the bundled samples, then have your AI put cards in Anchor Cloud and connect. The GitHub path is still there for people who want to own the files.
Cards
Using it
- 05ReviewingThe order cards come in, what the four grades mean, undo and re-run, and how to read the progress bar.
- 06BrowsingPulling up a specific card outside the queue. Search runs entirely on the device, and nothing here is graded.
- 07Changes (pull requests)Read the `.md` files in an agent's open PR — as cards — before you merge.
How it works
Settings and platforms
- 10SettingsWhere your cards live (Anchor Cloud / GitHub), sync, new cards per day, and current status. There is almost nothing to type.
- 11Anchor ProThe only difference is how many new cards you can start per day. One-time purchase; everything else is in the free version.
- 12Privacy and safetyIt talks only to where your cards live — Anchor Cloud or GitHub. Anchor Cloud needs no account and holds nothing but your cards and review log. No analytics SDK is included.
- 13Platform differencesiOS, Android and macOS read the same cards and the same review log. Where they differ, they differ on purpose.
