Switching from Anki? Everything you bolted on, already in the app

Four Anki problems, four fixes

"Sitting down to grind is the hard part."

Study by scrolling

Your due cards show up in a feed. Every card you answer while scrolling counts as a real review in the schedule. A review you actually do beats a session you skip.

"Getting someone else's deck is a chore."

Decks are links

A shared deck is one link, and it lands in your library. Or start a ready-made course: MCAT, cloud certifications, networking and more. Your own Anki decks import too.

"The heatmap and leaderboard need add-ons."

Built in from day one

Activity heatmap, streaks with freezes, XP and levels, daily quests, and a friends leaderboard. Every add-on, mapped.

"Making cards takes forever."

Let Claude make them

Connect Claude or ChatGPT to your account, hand it your notes, and it builds the deck straight into Encodr. Takes about a minute.

Bring your Anki decks

In Anki on desktop: File, Export, Anki Deck Package (.apkg), and tick Support older Anki versions.
On encodr.app, create a class from the file. You see a preview before anything is saved.
Open Encodr on your phone. The deck is there, and you can study it offline.

Text and cloze cards come across with every blank intact, and subdecks become chapters. Exactly what imports.

Where Anki is still better

Image occlusion, images and audio. Encodr cards are text and cloze; occlusion cards are skipped on import.
Add-ons and custom card templates. Encodr has none, by design.
Scheduler tuning. Encodr has one fixed interval ladder, and your Anki review history doesn't carry over.
Editing thousands of cards on a desktop with keyboard shortcuts.

If those are what you rely on, Anki is the right tool. If the problem is actually doing the reviews, here's the full comparison.
