iPhone as Anki Remote: shake, tilt, tap and whistle through your Anki reviews

Your phone is the remote; your computer shows the cards. Shake, tilt, double-tap the back, whistle, blink or wave. Keyboard on this page: Space next · 1–4 rate · U undo · L pause.

Test mode + progress

Test mode prompts one gesture at a time. Get it right for +10 points and a longer streak. A wrong gesture shows the named hint for the gesture you were asked for, never just a score.

Sensors

iOS needs a tap to allow motion: press Enable motion and choose Allow. For the best experience, add this page to your home screen (Share → Add to Home Screen) so it runs full-screen like an app.

Sensitivity

Motion, camera and mic are analysed on this phone and never recorded or sent.

Watching (gestures act on cards)

Preset

Hold a tilt still for a moment; it fires once. Shake firmly; a single jolt will not fire. Double-tap the back twice with a pause between taps; one tap will not fire. Wave means passing a hand over the top of the phone and pulling it back.

Honest limits

This is a home practice tool, not a teacher, therapist or safety device. Everything runs on your device and your home network: no video, audio or images are sent anywhere. Feedback is automatic and can be wrong.

iOS does not expose the true proximity sensor to web pages, so "wave" is detected as a dip in front-camera brightness while the camera is on. It needs light: it will not work well in a dark room. Motion, camera and mic turn fully off when you hide this tab.

Your iPhone is now your Anki remote
