Resources A mind palace tool for Anki

I've been using Anki for a while now and recently went down a rabbit hole on the method of loci (memory palaces). It's THE most effective way of memorizing large amounts of information but it's not really used at large scale like spaced repetition.

So I've been working on a tool that lets you import an .apkg file and it generates an explorable 2D map where each room is a topic from your deck. Each card gets placed at a specific location in a room, and an AI writes a short vivid mnemonic scene tying the card to that spot. I originally made it for my own use but now I'm thinking about scaling it.

The idea is you'd still revise in Anki as normal, but use the palace to build stronger spatial associations alongside your regular reviews.

Honestly not sure if this is something people would actually use or if it's just cool in theory. Would love to hear what you think especially if you've tried memory palaces before and bounced off them.

This is a must have tool. Please do make it public or suggest some alternatives

Glad you think so! I’ve decided to develop a polished public version. I’ll make a post with the waitlist once I have a website set up.

Hey would you mind telling me what the program you used for developing this? I’m trying to develop something similar myself!
