The Simple Anki Sync plugin provides an efficient way to push Markdown-based flashcards directly into Anki using AnkiConnect. It supports syncing individual files or entire vaults with a single command, handling deck and subdeck structures via tags like #anki/MyDeck/Subdeck
. Flashcards are written as minimal Markdown tables and can include LaTeX math, images with size adjustments, and line breaks. Quality-of-life features include automatic deck renaming, backlinks to source notes, and tag assignment for easy filtering in Anki. Deleted cards in Obsidian are also removed from Anki during sync, keeping both systems aligned.
