AnkiDroid 2025 #wrapped
Published on December 31, 2025 by David Allison
Seasons Greetings, and thank you so much for your support over the year 💝. Your continued contributions have allowed us to cut down on our dayjobs, pay our rent, and justify the time we spend on the app to our families and friends. Here's a quick update showcasing what your contributions have allowed us to accomplish, and our plans for the upcoming year.

If you have the capability to support us, we'll be able to spend more time getting these improvements to you faster in 2026. 🤜🤛 

What we've done


  • Released a newly designed study screen
    • AnkiDroid's most used screen gets a modern UI!
  • Many other screen design improvements:
    • Manage Note Types has a new 21st century inspired design
    • Filtered Decks has also been massively improved
    • Settings & Fields look even better
    • And many more screens have gone through material theme improvements to make the app look better
  • We've caught up with Anki Desktop where it matters. AnkiDroid 2.22 was ready to go before the public Anki release
    • We can implement new features such as 'Grade Now' with minimal effort
  • Even better scheduler: FSRS 6
  • Our Card Browser now supports all columns, with superfast rendering, and full multicolumn support
  • Further improved the experience on Tablets and Chromebooks
  • Matched Anki's Custom Study & Filtered Decks functionality
  • Much better help links and information, especially on failed imports
  • We've fixed almost all our big bugs

2026 Plans


  • We're almost completely matching core Anki Desktop functionality, with startlingly few remainders:
    • Find & Replace is being prepared
    • Changing Note Types is almost live
    • Better tag management (deleting tags) is planned
  • We've started work on a redesign for the Card Browser
  • We've got one 'big' screen left to unify with Anki Desktop: Manage Note Types
  • We've made great progress with notifications
  • We've started tackling multi-profile support
  • We're rebuilding our JavaScript API, in preparation for addon support

Thank you again for your continued support, the more support we get, the more time we can dedicate to work on these improvements. 🙇
