Pros
  • Eliminates the worst part of SRS: hand-authoring cards
  • Native MCP hooks into Claude and ChatGPT for inline capture
  • Modern FSRS scheduling, not legacy SM-2
  • Offline PWA with cross-device sync

Cons
  • Anki sync is one-way only
  • Free tier capped at 30 AI notes per month
  • AI-generated cards still need human review for accuracy
  • Smaller ecosystem than Anki's plugin world
  • Operated by a China-based lab; check compliance before sensitive use
  • English UI is newer than the Chinese product; some features lag
  • Less third-party ecosystem tooling than OpenAI or Anthropic
