Flashcards 2.0

Flashcards v2 is a full rewrite focused on predictable card syntax, safe Anki updates, and Obsidian as the authoring source of truth.

Highlights

• Create basic, reversed, cloze, reminder, heading, callout, list, fenced, and atomic-note cards.
• Keep Anki scheduling and review history when linked notes are updated.
• Open the exact Obsidian source from the answer side of an Anki card.
• Sync images, audio, wikilinks, Markdown, math, code, and highlights.
• Move linked cards between compatible note types and decks without creating duplicates.
• Skip unchanged card-free notes during vault updates with a disposable local index.
• Preview and back up compatible Anki models before applying the v2 card style.
• Check old v1 syntax with a read-only migration report.

Important changes for v1 users

• Obsidian 1.13.0 or newer is required.
• Obsidian owns the content, card type, deck, and authored tags of linked cards. Editing those values in Anki is not supported; the next update restores the Obsidian version.
• V2 uses one strict syntax. It does not keep parallel legacy parsing paths.
• Replace #card-spaced or #card/spaced with #card-reminder.
• The plugin writes ^q-xxxx anchors and a managed flashcards frontmatter property. Do not edit them by hand.

Before updating a large vault, back it up and run Flashcards: Check vault for v2 syntax migration. Test a representative note with Flashcards: Update Anki from current note before updating the complete vault.

See the v2 README, the complete syntax guide, and the legacy v1 branch.
