Local-first · Open core · No accounts

Your assistant,
finally knows your deck.

Deckhand turns conversations and PDFs into spaced-repetition cards — written straight into your own Anki, from Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, or any MCP-capable assistant. Nothing you study ever touches our servers. We don't have any.

Make cards from what we just covered about the thyroid.
Wrote 3 cards to Anki › Med school › Endo — 1 duplicate skipped.
The {{c1::thyroid}} gland sits anterior to the tracheaclozesrc_lecture07
TSH is released by the {{c1::anterior pituitary}}cloze
Q: Which hormone does the thyroid store extracellularly? → Thyroglobulinbasic

Local-first, not local-only

The model you already pay reads the text you give it. But there is no Deckhand database, no account, no vendor copy of your collection — and no shutdown that can take your cards with it.

Built for Anki people

Rubric-checked cloze (≤2 deletions per card), content-hash dedupe against years of curation, and a skill file that makes models write cards worth reviewing.

How it works

Three steps. About five minutes.

1

Install Anki

Free on desktop. If you're reading this site, you probably have strong opinions about it already.

2

Add AnkiConnect

One add-on code inside Anki (we walk you through it), restart, done. This lets your assistant write into the collection on your machine.

3

Connect your assistant

Paste one config block into Claude Desktop/Code, Codex, or ChatGPT. Then just say: "make cards from this."

Open the setup wizard ↗

Free forever for chat-to-cards.

Pro adds PDF ingest, image occlusion, and watch-folder automation — $10/mo after a 14-day trial that needs no account or card.
