Exports selected Anki notes as LLM-friendly structured text—copyable or saved—preserving field contents unchanged while including note type, deck path, and optionally tags.
Exports selected Anki note types as structured Markdown to the clipboard or a UTF-8 file for human or LLM inspection.
Exports a collection's complete sorted tag list as plain text to the clipboard or a UTF-8 file, preserving hierarchical tags, with customizable keyboard shortcuts.
Exports non-empty deck descriptions, with full deck paths and Markdown/HTML format markers, to the clipboard or a UTF-8 file for inspection and LLM context.
Exports a field and tag legend stored as an HTML comment in a card template, copying it to the clipboard or saving it as a text file.
Exports Anki review history to CSV or JSONL for use with LLMs, with deck, time, tag, interval, and field filters plus optional summary files.
In more systematically organized collections, deck placement usually carries semantic information. A full deck path such as 2.HEL::2.GRC::2.EPC::2.ORI::1.Hom.¹ specifies context that need not be repeated in the prompt itself—especially when the deck name is displayed on the card. For an LLM, knowledge of the deck hierarchy is therefore essential for judging what information the prompt must contain and for choosing tags that complement, rather than duplicate, the information already encoded by deck placement.
This add-on exports the collection’s hierarchy of normal decks as Markdown, either to the clipboard or to a file. Each deck is written as its full path in Anki’s :: notation, making its position in the hierarchy explicit. The resulting export is easy to inspect, search, compare over time, or supply to an LLM as collection-level context. It is also useful for examining the collection’s architecture: naming and numbering conventions, nesting, parallel branches, inconsistent abbreviations, redundant categories, and structural drift.
Export Deck Tree as Text complements Export Deck Guide as Text, Export Field and Tag Legend as Text, Export Note Types as Text, and Export Tags as Text. Together, these five add-ons provide collection-level context. In the Browser, Selected Notes to Structured Text supplies the selected notes to which that context can be applied, whether for assessment or as exemplars for note generation.
¹ Hellenic Languages → Ancient Greek → Epic Greek → Orientalizing Period → Homeric Epics.
Choose either of the following menu items:
Both commands export the same Markdown text: Copy Deck Tree as Text places it on the clipboard; Save Deck Tree as Text… writes it to a UTF-8 text file, by default named anki-deck-tree-YYYY-MM-DD.txt.
The export contains normal decks only: filtered decks are excluded; Anki’s unused Default deck is omitted; empty normal decks are retained. Decks remain in Anki’s ordering.
The keyboard shortcuts can be changed under Tools → Add-ons → 𝕾 Export Deck Tree as Text → Config. The default configuration is:
{
"shortcut_copy": "",
"shortcut_save": "Meta+Ctrl+Shift+D"
}
Copy Deck Tree as Text has no assigned shortcut. Save Deck Tree as Text… uses Meta+Ctrl+Shift+D (⌃⇧⌘D). No restart is required.
The export begins with the number of normal decks, followed by one Markdown list item per deck. Each item contains the full deck path exactly as stored by Anki. Blank lines separate top-level branches.
An abbreviated example:
# ANKI DECK TREE
Number of normal decks: 10
- `1.PIE`
- `2.HEL`
- `2.HEL::0.PHG`
- `2.HEL::1.MYC`
- `2.HEL::2.GRC`
- `2.HEL::2.GRC::2.EPC`
- `2.HEL::2.GRC::2.EPC::2.ORI`
- `2.HEL::2.GRC::2.EPC::2.ORI::1.Hom.`
- `2.HEL::2.GRC::2.EPC::2.ORI::2.Hes.`
- `2.HEL::2.GRC::2.EPC::3.ARC`
The add-on does not modify the collection.
Tested with Anki 26.08 on macOS Tahoe 26. Windows and Linux have not yet been tested.

Install Export Deck Tree as Text from AnkiWeb using add-on code 1358364553.
Choose either of the following menu items:
Both commands export the same Markdown text: Copy Deck Tree as Text places it on the clipboard; Save Deck Tree as Text… writes it to a UTF-8 text file, by default named anki-deck-tree-YYYY-MM-DD.txt.
The export contains normal decks only: filtered decks are excluded; Anki’s unused Default deck is omitted; empty normal decks are retained. Decks remain in Anki’s ordering.
The keyboard shortcuts can be changed in the add-on’s configuration dialog:
Tools → Add-ons → 𝕾 Export Deck Tree as Text → Config
The default configuration is:
{
"shortcut_copy": "",
"shortcut_save": "Meta+Ctrl+Shift+D"
}
shortcut_copy is disabled by default.
On macOS, Qt interprets Meta as Control (⌃), Ctrl as Command (⌘), Alt as Option (⌥), and Shift as Shift (⇧). The default shortcut for Save Deck Tree as Text… is therefore ⌃⇧⌘D.
No restart is required.
