What's Changed

New Launcher

The way Anki is packaged and distributed has changed:

• You can use the launchers below to download the latest Anki version, and update to newer versions/downgrade to old ones.
• You'll find a Tools>Upgrade/Downgrade menu item inside Anki to return the launcher.
• The oldest supported Anki version to install is 2.1.50.
• The Mac and Linux launchers support both AMD64 (Intel) and ARM64 (Apple Silicon) machines. The Windows installer is AMD64-only, but will run in emulation mode on ARM Windows.
• On Linux, glibc 2.36 or later is now required.
• Anki now ships with Python 3.13 (but has not yet bumped the minimum Python from 3.9).
• The new launcher still has room for improvement.
