Moving your collection from AnkiWeb to LeeAB, step by step
Watch the whole thing in one narrated video1 · Create an account
Sign up at app.leeab.net, then open the confirmation link we email you. Your sync credentials are created at the moment you confirm the address.
2 · Point Anki at the new address
In the desktop Anki app, open and put our address in :
https://sync.leeab.net/
Close Preferences when the field is filled in. Anki does not ask you to confirm anything here — the setting takes effect on the next sync.
3 · Upload your collection
Press . Anki asks for an account; the username and password are the two values on your dashboard, each with a button next to it. They are not your LeeAB email and password — they are credentials for the sync server itself.
The first sync uploads everything. How long it takes depends on your media, not on the number of cards. When it finishes you will see Collection sync complete. in the bottom-left corner.
4 · Sync your other devices
On a phone or tablet, set the same address under , then press and enter the same two values. Anki asks whether to download from the server — say yes, because the device has nothing on it yet and the server now has everything.
If Anki asks you to sync again
After a first full upload Anki sometimes shows Please sync again. That is normal and not an error: the collection went up in one pass and the media follows in a second. Press once more and it settles.
