Other

If none of the above match your situation, or you just want to know what file formats work, here's the full list. EverRecall accepts:

Have ChatGPT or Gemini write the cards

On the import screen, tap "Copy prompt for AI". This copies a request formatted with your current delimiter settings. Paste it into ChatGPT or Gemini along with the text (or topic) you want turned into cards.

1. On the import screen, tap "Copy prompt for AI" 2. Paste it into ChatGPT or Gemini, then paste (or type) the text or topic you want cards from, and send 3. Use the copy button on the reply's code block to copy the result 4. Paste it into EverRecall's import screen, or share the selected text and choose "Send to EverRecall" (see "The share sheet's two actions" below)

The shared delimiter rule (paste, sharing text, the iCloud folder, and text files)

Paste, sharing text through the share sheet, the iCloud folder, and text files (.txt / .md) all split cards using the same delimiter settings. You can change them anytime in the import screen's "Delimiters" section.

• Default: cards are separated by a line that contains only "---", and the front/back of a card are separated by a line that contains only "=="
• A symbol only counts as a delimiter when the entire line is just that symbol — a symbol inside a sentence (e.g. "A---B") never causes a split
• To tag a batch of cards with a book title and author, use lines like @@title: Book Title and @@author: Author Name (this symbol can also be changed in settings)

The share sheet's two actions

The iPhone/iPad share sheet offers two different EverRecall actions — here's the difference:

• "Open in EverRecall" (when you share a file): opens EverRecall's import screen so you can review the cards before adding them
• "Send to EverRecall" (when you share selected text): adds it straight to the inbox folder with no confirmation screen. You can still edit or delete the cards afterward

CSV (.csv)

The first column becomes the front, and the second column becomes the back. (This is a table format and isn't affected by the delimiter settings above.)

Anki package (.apkg / .colpkg)

You can import an Anki export package directly. You don't need to change any export settings.

If you also want to carry over your study history (review intervals), turn on Include scheduling information in Anki's export screen before exporting. Files exported with it on let you choose "Carry over" or "Start fresh" when you import them into EverRecall. Files exported with it off are imported as brand-new cards.

Automatic iCloud folder import

Just drop .txt / .md files into an iCloud folder and they're picked up automatically, using the same delimiter rule described above. See the next page for details.

What doesn't carry over

Some things don't carry over from Anki. Please keep this in mind before you start:

• Audio and image files (EverRecall only imports text-based cards)
• Cards with no text (audio-only, image-only, and image occlusion cards have no text to import, so they're skipped)

Automatic iCloud folder import

Drop .txt or .md files into the iCloud Drive → EverRecall folder (in the Files app), and EverRecall automatically scans it every time you open the app — adding only the newly placed files as cards.

• This is a one-way process. Deleting cards inside EverRecall does not delete the files in the iCloud folder.
• Once a file is imported, it's automatically moved into a "Processed" subfolder inside the same folder, so you can tell at a glance what's already been imported.
• CSV files and Anki packages (.apkg / .colpkg) are not picked up by automatic iCloud folder import — only text (.txt) and Markdown (.md) files are. Import CSV or Anki packages via the import screen or the share sheet instead.
