I know many people might not find it useful, but I would and would honestly pay for it. No need to add new cards or edit cards, but maybe just practice my decks from the watch, possibly with a complication for cards due today? Just a suggestion. Thank you so much for everything anki otherwise

I’m afraid this is unlikely to happen in the near future, for a number of reasons:
- The watch has a small battery, and Apple intend it to be used for brief interactions, not longer sessions.
- The screen is small, and you’ll likely give yourself sore eyes, sore arms or a sore neck if using it for more than short periods.
- Some of the technologies Anki relies on are not supported on the Apple Watch. A Watch implementation would require a significant amount of engineering work, and at the moment there are other areas that would benefit a larger number of users.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news

It’s okay. Those are all super valid reasons. I appreciate all the work you do tremendously. Hopefully apple optimizes their product for something like this in the future somehow. Thanks Dae

Hello, I’m an active user of Anki, and I highly appreciate the developers’ efforts and ingenuity to come up with this brilliant vocab application. One day, a great idea came across my mind. As an apple user, I was thinking if I could use Anki on my apple watch, it would be wonderful. Even when my phone isn’t around, I could constantly learn and massage my brain throughout the day. Is expanding its compatibility to apple watch difficult?

I’ve honestly been wishing for the same thing. Since the SE came out I think it opened up the watch for a lot of people! I personally read from the watch (regardless of what people say) and find it much less distracting and straining than my phone. I use wReader and just have my wrist detection turned off so it doesn’t lock! I dream of a day where I don’t have to convert every single one of my cloze cards to basic just to import them into another (albeit less powerful algorithmically) flashcard app so I can practice them on the watch. WatchOS has gotten so many new users in the past few months!!
I really wish there was an anki apple watch app. I don’t care if it drains the battery really fast. I don’t currently own an apple watch but would buy one if there was an anki apple watch app so I could review cards every so often while working.
This is probably one of the best requests I have seen on this forum.
Apple Watch is no longer for just quick interactions. It’s converging more and more with the iPhone. Battery life is now outstanding on all models (and +36 on the Ultra), supporting streaming, messaging, and calls. I cannot think of a better device to review Anki cards on the go (but better constructed on a larger screen). Quick google search result shows at least 4 other apps responding to a market for this.
+1 for a simplified version to review cards only.

I would gladly pay for a simple Apple Watch Edition of Anki. Even, as a premium feature, we had to pay monthly etc., or a one time fee of $100 would be more than fair. Just a thought. Thanks everyone for this wonderful tool for learning!
Please, make Anki available for Apple Watch. This would be so handy. People will love it. I really miss anki when I’m not with my iPhone

I can’t speak for other users, but most of my notes couldn’t be displayed on a tiny screen.

I did make a request specifically for just a watch complication to point out your current unreviewed:
/t/feature-request-apple-watch-complication-showing-review-completion/4578
I’ve moved your post to the suggestions section so it doesn’t get automatically closed.

it would be great for decks that use very simple questions like icons or languages. would love to churn in a few reps when i have a few minutes here and there. that would actually be the tipping point for me to fully leave my phone at home when going to the gym or work.
Apple watch has grown and grown. It would be great to add for simple flash cards. To keep it simple exclude pictures and audio.
Thanks
I know there was request for tgat but maybe it’s time to refresh it.
It would be fantastic to have Apple watch version for reviews (no other features needed)
I would buy watch just for that:)
I’m sure people waiting for that app would be more than happy to pay for it as for mobile version. And actually it shall cost double of that as there is less people interested in watch version.
I’m kinda excited about what flash card programs will be created for virtual reality headsets. Imagine learning anatomy with 3d flashcards? That’d be so cool.
