- 📦DecksMD updated to version 1.3.5• Deck directory in the app: tap the store button in the Decks header to browse free decks. Search, filter by subject and language, and sort by downloads, newest or likes.
• Add puts a deck in your vault with one tap. When a newer version of a deck you have comes out, it shows Update, and your progress is kept.
• Tap a deck to see its description, the decks inside, version, size and licence.
• New card order setting in profiles: in note order, in order added (the default) or random.
• Exams whose typed answers are too long to check automatically now open with self-grading.
• Self-graded typed answers get a multi-line box.
• Wide tables in cards scroll sideways instead of breaking words and numbers.
• Changing a profile's header levels, cloze or exam setting, or assigning a profile to a tag, now updates the affected notes right away.
• Pulling down inside a sheet no longer refreshes the screen behind it.… more - 📦DecksMD: now updating weekly4 updates in 30 days, after a quiet two months

- 📦DecksMD updated to version 1.3.4Images on cards and image occlusion in notes
• Images in a card, SVGs included, now show in review, cram and browse instead of the link text.
• Images are found anywhere in the vault, as Obsidian finds them, so image occlusion cards whose picture is in another folder show it.
• In live preview and the reading view, an image occlusion block shows as its image with each mask labelled by its answer. Edit opens the mask editor on that block, and tapping the image in live preview shows its YAML.
• A block whose YAML can't be read shows the error in its place.
• Occlusion blocks in an embedded note or section show the same way, and Edit opens the note they are written in.
• In the reading view and the card lens, the note's title stays in place while you scroll.… more - 📦DecksMD updated to version 1.3.2Exam exercises and shared folders. 1.3.0 and 1.3.1 were built without their changes; this version carries them.
- Exam exercises: several questions about one text, with multiple choice, fill-in blanks and typed answers, each scored on its own.
- Deck directory packages with exercises, such as German A2, B1 and B2, install now.
- Images, audio and video of directory decks, and PDFs attached to AI sessions, are kept in vault folders shared with Obsidian.
- Two cards whose fronts give the same card id are both studied now, and a note whose deck id another note holds is no longer merged into it.
- The editor's Callout menu has a Passage style for reading texts.… more - ✏️DecksMD: app got bigger11 MB → 12 MB (+10%)
- 📦DecksMD updated to version 1.2.0The deck directory
• Open ready-made decks from decksmd.app/decks straight in DecksMD, or install a .dpkg file from Settings or the Files app. They sit in their own Deck directory section and review like any other deck.
• A package of several decks shows as one folder you can review, cram, examine or remove as one, and each deck can still be studied on its own.
• Directory decks come with their own study settings. You can change daily limits, review order, learning steps, retention and voice, and reset them to the package's settings at any time.
• Exams on a package use its exam settings and draw only from its exam decks.
Reviewing
• What's Next, Statistics and the deck list now count only what each deck's daily limits allow today, so the time estimate matches your actual review.
• Rating a card gives a light tap, and a firmer one for Again.
Editor
• The editing bar starts with Table, Callout and Insert, and Table offers one, two or three columns.
• Images and embeds inside tables now show while editing.
• The reading view and the card lens match the editor's look and spacing.
• With the keyboard up, the last lines of a note can always be scrolled into view.… more - 🆕DecksMD first spotted by AppInsider#29 in Top Paid · Education · Brazil
- 📦DecksMD version 1.0.1Fixes for card loss when the app and the Obsidian plugin share a vault.
• Saving now merges what is already on disk instead of replacing it, so a save can only add cards, never remove them.
• Database copies left behind by iCloud when two devices write at once are now found and folded back in. Their cards, review history and profile assignments are recovered.
• Databases are written through a temporary file, so an interrupted write can no longer truncate one.
• Backup filenames carry the device that wrote them, so two devices reviewing on the same day no longer overwrite each other's backup.
• Old backups are now pruned on iOS, which previously did not happen.
• Cards reviewed in the app are anchored in their note, so they keep their scheduling if their wording later changes.… more - 🆕DecksMD released on the App Store

Review momentum
20/100
faster than 0% of Education apps
Review momentum (0-100) blends how fast the app collects ratings compared with other apps in its category (60%), whether that pace is speeding up (25%) and what recent raters give it (15%; recent stars well below lifetime pull it down). Ratings counts are read daily. A jump usually means a launch, a feature, ads or a new review prompt.
About DecksMD
DecksMD turns the notes you already have into flashcards — no syntax, no second copy.
Point it at your markdown vault and every heading becomes a card: the heading is the front, the text beneath it is the back. Nothing to import, nothing to maintain twice. Edit the note and the card changes with it.
STUDY WHAT'S DUE
Scheduling by FSRS-6 — the same algorithm Anki uses — so you review what needs reviewing and stop when you're done. Cards, cloze deletions, tables, image occlusion and exams, all from plain markdown.
CAPTURE FROM ANYWHERE
Share a paragraph from Safari, Mail or any other app and it lands in your vault. The first line becomes the front, the rest becomes the back. Or file it as a plain note and come back to it later.
TURN A CHAPTER INTO A DECK
Attach a PDF, pick the sections you actually need, and get cards from those pages — including scanned chapters and lecture slides, transcribed first so the maths survives.
YOUR FILES STAY YOURS
A real markdown editor with properties, tags and a toolbar. Everything lives as plain files in a folder you choose — no database, no lock-in, works offline. Compatible with Obsidian vaults and any folder of markdown.
MAKE IT YOURS
Fifteen palettes in light and dark — Nord, Gruvbox, Solarized, Catppuccin, E-ink and more.
COMING FROM ANKI?
Import an .apkg and your decks, cards, media and full review history come with you. Your cards resume on FSRS-6 right where Anki left them.
ONE-TIME PURCHASE
No subscription for the app itself. AI card generation and PDF transcription are optional and require DecksMD Pro (sold separately at decksmd.app) — or bring your own API key from Anthropic, Google or a local model, free. Everything else — reviewing, scheduling, statistics, capture, import — works without either.
SUBSCRIPTION
DecksMD Pro — €9.99/month, auto-renewing. Includes AI card generation from your notes and PDFs. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period. Manage or cancel it in your device settings.
