Anki add-ons. Desktop grows teeth.

Ctrl+Shift+A. Get Add-ons. Paste a code from AnkiWeb add-ons. Restart Anki. That is an Anki add on. Anki addons (one word) is the same search. They only run on Anki desktop, not AnkiDroid.

AnkiConnect

Anki Connect (code 2055492159) is the local HTTP API. Yomitan, Obsidian, Zotero, and mining scripts talk to Anki through it. Rising search: anki connect.

Yomitan & Japanese

Hover a word, send an Anki card. Pairs with Anki Japanese decks. WaniKani people often keep mining separate from the textbook deck.

AnkiHub · Onigiri · Review Heatmap

AnkiHub for shared medical decks. Onigiri Anki add on for a launcher-style home. Heatmap for streaks. Install from AnkiWeb, not random zips.

Anki add-ons broke after update Anki?

26.x dropped some legacy import modules. Check for Updates in the Add-ons window. AnkiConnect usually ships a fix first. If an add-on is dead, Toggle Enabled off - Anki still opens.

Do add-ons work on Anki iOS?

No. AnkiMobile and AnkiDroid do not load desktop add-ons. Card templates still render. AnkiConnect is desktop-only.
