Description

🖍 Draw with iPad/iPhone (macOS Continuity)

Bring the power of the Apple Pencil straight to your Anki flashcards! This add-on leverages Apple's native Continuity Annotation to let you seamlessly draw, sketch, and annotate your Anki cards using your iPad or iPhone.

If you use Anki on a Mac and own an iPad or iPhone, this add-on gives you a native iPad drawing experience right inside the Anki editor.

✨ Features

Sketch from Scratch: Click the "🖍 Sketch" button in the editor toolbar to instantly open a transparent canvas on your iPad. Draw your diagrams with your Apple Pencil, tap "Done", and it is automatically inserted right where your text cursor is in Anki.
Annotate Existing Images: Right-click any image in your flashcard and select the "🖍 Annotate" -(opens quicklook)-> "Markup" --> "Annotate on iOS Device"
Image Occlusion Integration: Native keyboard shortcut support to annotate an image on your iPad, and instantly pipe the finished drawing directly into the Image Occlusion Enhanced add-on!
Non-Destructive by Default: By default, annotating an image creates a safe copy for that specific flashcard, so you don't accidentally ruin images shared across hundreds of other cards. (This can be changed to destructive-overwrite in the config).

⌨️ Keyboard Shortcuts

Cmd + Shift + S: Open a new blank sketch canvas on your iPad.
Cmd + Shift + A: Annotate the currently selected (or first) image in the field.
Cmd + Shift + I: Annotate the currently selected image, and send it straight to Image Occlusion Enhanced.

⚙️ Requirements & Setup

macOS Only: Because this add-on relies on Apple's native Continuity Camera and QuickLook frameworks, it is exclusively for Mac users. (Windows/Linux are not supported).
Apple Ecosystem: You must have an iPad or iPhone signed into the same Apple ID as your Mac, with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth enabled.
Accessibility Permissions: The very first time you use the add-on, macOS will ask you to grant Anki "Accessibility" permissions. You must allow this! (System Settings > Privacy & Security > Accessibility). This allows Anki to securely trigger the native macOS QuickLook window for you.
