A new Anki drawing whiteboard extension — works on all Anki platforms

Hi everyone, I just built a small extension that I’d love to share.

Tldraw is a powerful whiteboard tool, and this extension brings it into Anki. It lets you draw directly on cards while reviewing.

:sparkles: Features

  • Works across all Anki platforms, since you can install it in any template you like

  • Automatically takes a screenshot of the card into the canvas — great if you like sketching or annotating while studying

  • Full Tldraw functionality, including Apple Pencil support

:gear: Installation

Open Anki’s card template editor and add this snippet to the end of any template you want:


<ae-tldraw></ae-tldraw>

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@anki-eco/extensions/dist/tldraw.js" defer></script>

When reviewing, you’ll see a button; click it to open the canvas. The button only has minimal styling — you can fully customize its CSS.
