I’m an Aussie Registrar tired of manual card-making, so I built a tool to sync AI generated flashcards directly to Anki (No .apkg exports)
Hi guys,
I’ve been a lurker here for 6+ years - Anki is basically the reason I made it through med school. Now that I’m a registrar back in the trenches studying for the RACP writtens (the Austrialian physician exams), I realized the "AI revolution" hadn't actually fixed the worst part of studying: workflow friction
I tried the web apps and manual ChatGPT prompts, but downloading .apkg files or creating cards one by one after a 12-hour shift? No thanks.
So, I spent the last year coding ClozeMD. It’s a desktop app (Windows/macOS) designed to do one thing: turn your notes into cloze deletions and shoot them directly into Anki via AnkiConnect.
The Workflow:
- Paste your lecture notes or type in pearls ('facts') from ward rounds etc.
- Generate medical cloze cards (you can select clinical depth: foundation sciences, core clinical, or advanced clinical for reg levelexam prep)
- Review & Sync: Hit one button and they appear in your Anki deck. No exports, no .apkg files, no formatting fixes.
Key Features:
- AnkiConnect Integration: It talks directly to your Anki desktop app.
- Automatic Tag Generation
- Built-in Gemini AI: No need to mess around with your own API keys.
- Privacy-focused: It’s a local desktop app, not a web-based account-sink.
The Link: https://clozemd.com/
Free trial: 20 generations, no credit card. After that it's $9 /month to keep the AI running.
I’m looking for some honest feedback from this sub:
- Does the "depth" of the cards actually match what you're seeing on exams?
- Is the desktop-to-Anki sync as seamless as it should be?
- What’s the "missing feature" that would make this a daily driver for you?
Note: PDF/image import is on the roadmap if there’s interest, and a mobile app is coming soon so you can jot down facts during rounds and sync them to Anki when you get home.
(mods please delete post if against the rules, I've messaged for permission x2 but no reply)
Happy to answer any questions about the tech or the RACP grind in the comments!
