Your Anki Connector β companion add-on for the Your Anki on Chrome extension
Study your Anki decks in a Chrome tab, with Anki's own scheduler (including FSRS) doing all the scheduling. This add-on is required for the extension: it is the bridge between Chrome and your Anki collection.
How to set up
- Install this add-on, then restart Anki.
- Install the Your Anki on Chrome extension from the Chrome Web Store.
- Click the extension icon. Your decks appear in a new tab. Keep Anki open (it can stay minimized in the system tray).
What it adds
- Fast review: cards are served and answered straight through Anki's scheduler (same code path as Anki's reviewer), so review history and intervals are exactly what Anki would record.
- Runs on its own thread: the browser stays responsive even while Anki is busy.
- Live updates: edits, syncs and deck changes made in Anki show up in the browser immediately.
- Fast media: images and audio are served over local HTTP, no base64 copies.
- Sync from the browser, including the full-sync question (Upload / Download / Cancel) even when Anki is hidden.
- Study more today (Custom Study) without touching your shared deck options.
- Deck editing: rename, move and undo deck changes from the browser.
- System tray: minimize to tray, optional close to tray, start hidden, start with Windows.
Port
Listens on 127.0.0.1:8766 (local only). It does not conflict with the original AnkiConnect on 8765; both can run side by side.
Privacy
Everything stays on your computer. The add-on only accepts connections from your own machine and sends nothing to any server (sync goes through Anki's normal AnkiWeb sync).
