Guide
Export an .apkg from Anki and drop it into Lovelydeck. Decks, cards, tags, media and every review you have ever done come with it, and scheduling carries on with FSRS.
Everything the .apkg contains: decks and sub-decks, notes and their fields, cards and their scheduling state, tags, and the media folder. Include scheduling information when you export, or the history stays behind in Anki.
Scheduling switches to FSRS, which is what modern Anki uses too, so intervals feel familiar. Anki’s ease factor is not carried over as a number; FSRS rebuilds its estimate for each card from the review log, which is a better basis than ease was.
Anki has twenty years of add-ons, a desktop app that works with no signal in a lecture hall, and a community that has solved most deck problems you will meet. If those are what keep you there, they are good reasons. Lovelydeck is for the part Anki never did: getting the cards written from the lecture in the first place, with the slide each one came from.
Your imported decks keep working exactly as they did. The difference starts with the chapter you have not made cards for yet.
FAQ
Straight answers.
In Anki, choose File, Export, and pick the .apkg format with scheduling information included. In Lovelydeck, open the class you want the deck in and drop the .apkg file onto the page. Decks, notes, cards, tags and media come across, and your review history is kept.
Yes. Every review in the exported file is imported, and FSRS uses that history to schedule the cards, so a card you have known for two years is not treated like a new one.
Cloze cards import as cloze cards, with each deletion becoming its own card as it was in Anki. Image occlusion cards made with the built-in Anki note type import with their masks. Cards from unusual add-on note types import as basic cards with their fields preserved.
Deck names become decks inside the class you imported into, with sub-decks kept. Tags are kept on every card and can be searched and filtered.
