About APKG
An APKG is how Anki shares decks: a ZIP of a SQLite collection holding the decks' notes, cards and note types, with the pictures and sounds their cards show. Anki 2.1.50 and later pack both with Zstandard, while older versions and tools like genanki keep them as they are.
Anki is the spaced repetition app medical students, language learners and many others study with, on Windows, Mac and Linux, as AnkiMobile on iPhone and AnkiDroid on Android. Decks shared on AnkiWeb, and those classmates and teachers send, come as APKG files.
Filepeek opens the deck as a table, a row for each note with its fields, note type, deck and tags. Open a note to see its cards as Anki draws them, front and back, with their pictures, sounds, clozes and math, and save every note as CSV or Excel.

Questions
Can I see a deck's cards without Anki?
Yes. Open a note's row and its cards show as Anki draws them, with their pictures and sounds. A click turns a card over, and a cloze card shows each of its clozes.
Can I get the notes out as a spreadsheet?
Yes. Choose Export to save every note with its fields, deck and tags as CSV, Excel, JSON or Parquet.
Why does an old Anki show only one card saying to update?
Anki 2.1.50 and later write decks in a newer layout, with an old collection beside it that only asks to update Anki. Filepeek reads the new one, and older decks too.
Does it run the scripts some decks have?
No. A card is drawn without its scripts, so what a script would add or change on a card doesn't show.
