Privacy

This plugin only reads vault files when you explicitly run a generate command (current file or all files in vault). It uses file paths locally to find flashcard syntax and sends card content to Anki on your machine via AnkiConnect. No data is sent to external servers. Use the Ignored directories setting to exclude folders from vault-wide generation.
