## What is AnkiWatch?

AnkiWatch is an independent Apple Watch remote for Anki Desktop, with an iPhone setup companion. Read your cards on your computer, then reveal answers and choose Again, Hard, Good or Easy from your wrist.

SET UP ON IPHONE
Install the AnkiWatch desktop add-on, enter your computer address and pairing code in the iPhone app, then send the connection details to your paired Apple Watch. Keep your devices on the same trusted Wi-Fi network.

REVIEW FROM YOUR WATCH
Choose Buttons, Focus, Double Tap on supported watches, or motion gestures. Undo, bury and suspend controls are available when supported by the current desktop review state. AnkiWatch also keeps session answer counts and time locally on your Watch.

YOUR CARDS STAY ON YOUR COMPUTER
AnkiWatch controls Anki Desktop; it does not store or display flashcards on Apple Watch and does not replace AnkiMobile. Anki Desktop must remain open with a review session active. The desktop add-on is required and is available at ankiwatch.com.

LOCAL BY DESIGN
No AnkiWatch account, ads or analytics. Pairing settings and session statistics stay on your devices. The desktop add-on uses local HTTP, so use a trusted network.
