- AnkiWatch is an iPhone and Apple Watch controller for Anki Desktop. Use the iPhone app to enter the local IP, port, and pairing code from the AnkiWatch add-on, then send those details to Apple Watch and control reviews from your wrist. Choose simple buttons, Focus Mode, Crown controls, Double Tap, or gesture controls for the review style that fits your session. AnkiWatch runs on your local Wi-Fi network with no account, cloud backend, analytics, ads, or paid API.

Privacy Answers

Export Compliance
Suggested answer: AnkiWatch does not implement proprietary encryption or use HTTPS/TLS. It uses local HTTP and Apple Keychain storage for the pairing token. Confirm this in App Store Connect based on your final binary and legal obligations.
Review Notes
AnkiWatch requires the AnkiWatch iPhone app, AnkiWatch Apple Watch app, and the companion AnkiWatch add-on for Anki Desktop. To test, install the AnkiWatch add-on from AnkiWeb, restart Anki, open Tools -> AnkiWatch Watch Controller, start a review session, enter the displayed local IP address, port, and 6-digit pairing code in the iPhone app, then tap Send to Watch and open AnkiWatch on Apple Watch.
Archive the AnkiWatch iOS scheme for App Store Connect. The embedded Watch app supports running without the iPhone app installed, so Apple Watch users can install and launch it from the App Store on Apple Watch.
Use the iOS bundle ID, com.virajrao.ankiwatch, when creating the App Store Connect app record. The watchOS bundle ID is embedded in that same upload.
Archive check: the archive should contain one top-level app, AnkiWatch.app, with the Watch app embedded at AnkiWatch.app/Watch/AnkiWatch Watch App.app.
