I'm going to shamelessly plug my own emacs org-mode extension: https://github.com/eyeinsky/org-anki

Write all your notes to org-mode files in a git repo, sync these (selectively) to Anki. No need to depend on proprietary services.

Ironically though, the easiest way to get your cards to AnkiDroid/AnkiMobile is through ankiweb.net (a free service) then you could manually export/import cards and stats should that disappear. org-anki saves note ID within org-mode, so you can keep updating cards after an export/import.

Quick question: What's the benefit of this approach vs using org-drill?
org-drill works entirely in emacs (as does org-fc and pamparam) so you'd need to be near a computer when using it (unless you run emacs on your phone).
Presumably Anki’s mobile frontends.
