Yeen's Notion To Anki

Yeen's Notion To Anki: The Ultimate Seamless Sync A fully integrated Anki add-on that connects directly to your Notion workspace using the official Notion API.

Unlike older web tools or add-ons that require clunky Markdown exports, third-party companion apps (like AnkiConnect), or manual formatting, this add-on pulls your notes, images, and databases synchronously, directly into your local Anki collection. It is built specifically to handle complex formatting that other tools drop, making it the perfect companion for students, medical professionals, and power users.

🌟 Why This Add-on is Different (and Better) Most Notion-to-Anki tools struggle with complex page structures. They often cut out non-inline text, skip over rich images, or force you to manually organize your Anki decks. This add-on was built to fix those exact pain points:

Zero Data Loss (Full Block Support): Other tools routinely cut out text or images that aren't perfectly inline. This add-on accurately parses your Notion blocks, ensuring that your rich text, lists, and images are preserved exactly as you authored them.

Reversed Toggles for Rich Front Cards: Standard tools only allow the toggle title to be the "Front" of the card. By using a custom tag (like #reverse), you can flip the behavior! This allows you to put intricate details, diagrams, or clinical scenarios inside the toggle as the "Front" of the card, and the short answer as the toggle title on the "Back."

Image Occlusions: A massive time-saver for medical and STEM students! Any standalone images (images not placed inside a toggle) can be optionally converted into Image Occlusion cards.

Deep Sync for Pages & Databases: You no longer need to copy and paste the ID for every single page. Point the add-on at a master Database or a Root Page, and it will automatically crawl, fetch, and sync all sub-pages inside it.

Automated Deck Hierarchy: Stop manually creating decks. The add-on reads your Notion page titles and automatically creates perfectly organized, nested Anki decks to match your Notion workspace structure.

⚙️ How to Set It Up Because this add-on uses the official Notion API, it is incredibly fast and secure. You only need to set it up once.

Part 1: Getting Your Notion API Key

Go to www.notion.so/my-integrations in your web browser.

Click New Integration. Name it something like "Anki Sync".

Under "Capabilities", ensure it has permission to Read content.

Click Submit. Copy the Internal Integration Secret (this is your API Key).

Paste this key into the "Notion API Key" field in the add-on's settings.

Part 2: Connecting Your Pages (Crucial Step) Notion requires you to explicitly give your new API key permission to see your pages.

Open Notion and navigate to the main Page or Database you want to sync.

Click the three dots (...) in the top right corner of the Notion window.

Scroll down to Connections and click Add connections.

Search for the integration you just made ("Anki Sync") and select it.

Part 3: Getting Your Root Page/Database ID

Open the Notion Page or Database you want to sync.

Click "Share" and copy the web link.

Paste the link somewhere so you can look at it. It will look like this: https://www.notion.so/My-Notes-1a2b3c4d5e6f7g8h9i0j1k2l3m4n5o6p

Copy the 32-character string at the very end of the URL (1a2b3c4d5e6f7g8h9i0j1k2l3m4n5o6p).

Paste this into the "Notion Root ID" field in the add-on settings.

🚀 How to Use It Once configured, simply open the Notion2Anki Dashboard from Anki's Tools menu, select your sync mode (Page or Database), and click SYNC NOW. The add-on will work in the background, keeping your Anki interface responsive while it generates your cards!
