All of a sudden a few weeks ago, my Anki desktop on my Mac began to be very slow and laggy. I have done literally everything to fix it. I deleted Anki and re-downloaded the newest version (2.1), restarted my computer multiple times, and tried switching profiles. I even deleted majority of my cards because I thought the problem began after I added some image-including cards, but this did not help. Even when I create a new profile and add barely any cards, it still is slow/laggy on my computer. The weird thing is, itâs only slow on my computer but not on my phone or iPad. I updated my computer and still no improvement. Please help!
Which Anki version do you use, have you tried the Qt5 and Qt6 version, did you install any add-ons recently?
I am using Version â¨2.1.63. I have a new macbook pro. I tried downloading the Qt5 and Qt6 versions to see if there would be a difference but they will not open on my computer. I did not install any add-ons recently, in fact I tried deleting some to see if there would be a difference but this didnât work either!
Did you make sure you have the correct Anki version for mac? There is one for Intel and a different one for Apple Silicon:
Yes I downloaded the Silicon version for my new Mac. I tried the other two ones just to see if they made a difference but they donât work either.
A number of users whoâve reported laggy performance said that the intel versions worked better for them. You say they donât work; what exactly is the error you get?
