Anki overview
Anki is a program which makes remembering things easy. Because it is a lot more efficient than traditional study methods, you can either greatly decrease your time spent studying, or greatly increase the amount you learn.
Anyone who needs to remember things in their daily life can benefit from Anki. Since it is content-agnostic and supports images, audio, videos and scientific markup (via LaTeX), the possibilities are endless.
For example:
- Learning a language
- Studying for medical and law exams
- Memorizing people's names and faces
- Brushing up on geography
- Mastering long poems
- Practicing guitar chords
What’s new in version 25.02.4
- Use an alternative approach for securing the editor, which should be less disruptive, and causes no permanent changes.
- Improve add-on compatibility (thanks in part to @glutanimate and @iamllama).
- Don't check collection size when syncing with a custom sync server.
The following add-ons have been reported as currently incompatible:
- Syntax Highlighting

Version: 24.04
Anki is meant for learning unordered things such as history dates, etc. There are addons that try to tailor it to other needs such as LPCG (Lyrics/Poetry Cloze Generator) but it has a set approach that you can't customize much: I wanted to use it to learn lyrics from songs but with each card containing one verse or chorus. I kinda managed it, but it's so complicated that I found easier ways to do so with other means (i.e. verses and choruses spread over multiple pages in a text editor 😉).

Version: 2.1.52
I downloaded 2.1.52 from https://github.com/ankitects/anki/releases/download/2.1.52/anki-2.1.52-mac-intel-qt5.dmg and it works on 10.13.6. The packages info.plist says the minimum version is 10.13.4.
The version liked in the download link above (https://objects.githubusercontent.com/github-production-release-asset-2e65be/7270538/a35ce33e-0122-4f3b-9644-54932e986466) requires 10.14.4. I don't know why they're linking that version. If you install it with brew, you'll get the version that works once they fix the checksum error for this release.
