REVIEW WORKFLOW
AnkiDroid does the scheduling. Ankiboy handles the loop.
Again, Hard, Good and Easy mapped to physical buttons. Card revealed: press the answer control. Result in: press the grade. Streak visible on screen. That is the entire interaction model — no touchscreen required for the review actions you repeat dozens of times per session.
COMPATIBILITY
AnkiDroid stays in control of the collection.
Your existing scheduling, deck structure, note types and sync behaviour remain part of AnkiDroid. Ankiboy sits on top as a controller-first front-end — it does not replace or reconfigure your study system.

Does Ankiboy change Anki's scheduling?
No. AnkiDroid handles your scheduling and decks. Ankiboy adds physical controls and a home screen built around studying.
Can I bring my existing collection?
Yes. Sync compatible collections through the AnkiWeb account you already use. Deck structure, note types and review history come across with the sync.
Can I still use Anki on my other devices?
Yes. Continue using your normal Anki setup — desktop, phone or tablet — and sync changes through AnkiWeb. Ankiboy sits alongside your existing devices.
How do I reveal and grade a card?
Use the physical buttons to reveal the answer, then choose Again, Hard, Good or Easy.
