Study in Anki. Stay connected to MedMatrix.
Bring your MedMatrix flashcards into Anki and keep your review activity reflected in MedMatrix. Your decks sync automatically, Anki handles scheduling, and your cards stay ready for offline study.
Requires a MedMatrix member account and Anki desktop.
What syncs
- All your decks: Connect once to sync every MedMatrix deck, including child decks and new decks added later. Sync runs on profile open and at your chosen interval; Sync now refreshes immediately.
- Native Anki cards: Study Basic and Cloze cards with Anki's scheduler. Ordinary content updates preserve existing cards and scheduling.
- Reviews and study time: Anki review ratings and time flow back into your MedMatrix statistics. Offline reviews wait locally until your next successful sync.
- Your content choices: Card edits sync in both directions. If both copies changed, Sync details lets you choose which content to keep. Your local Extra field stays in Anki.
- Separate profiles: Each Anki profile has its own connection and sync settings. Connect with a one-time code and revoke a device from MedMatrix whenever needed.
