Getting Started
What is Mindgrip?
Mindgrip is an AI-powered flashcard generator for students. Upload your lecture notes, PDFs, or paste text, and Mindgrip generates high-quality Anki flashcards in seconds.

Do I need Anki to use Mindgrip?
No — you can use Mindgrip to generate and manage flashcards without Anki. However, to sync cards directly to Anki for spaced repetition review, you will need Anki installed along with the Mindgrip Bridge extension.
Anki Integration
How do I connect Mindgrip to Anki?
You need three things: (1) Anki desktop app installed, (2) AnkiConnect add-on installed in Anki (code: 2055492159), and (3) Mindgrip Bridge extension installed in Chrome. Visit the Setup page for step-by-step instructions.
Does Mindgrip Bridge work on Safari?
Not yet. Mindgrip Bridge is currently available for Chrome, Edge, and Brave. Safari support is coming soon. In the meantime, you can use Mindgrip in Chrome for full Anki integration.
Why is Anki showing as disconnected?
Make sure Anki is open on your computer, AnkiConnect is installed and active, and Mindgrip Bridge is installed in your browser. Visit the Setup page and click "Test connection" to diagnose the issue.
Can I send cards to an existing Anki deck?
Yes! When sending cards to Anki, you can choose any existing deck or create a new one.
