BÍN (Beygingarlýsing íslensks nútímamáls) is an online database of Icelandic grammatical forms. It contains full declensions and conjugations for thousands of words in the Icelandic language. This utility can compile Anki flash cards based on this data. It is very much a work in progress, and probably only useful for myself at the moment.

This program requires the raw Sigrúnarsnið format data from BÍN to work. The data is available as a CSV file from the following page:

• https://bin.arnastofnun.is/gogn/mimisbrunnur/

The program can automatically download and uncompress the correct file on initial run.
