What works today

One app instead of four tabs

Most study setups are a notes app here, a flashcard app there, and a diagram tool somewhere else. Mnemo keeps them in one window, so what you write can become what you review.

Flashcards with spaced repetition

Review cards exactly when you are about to forget them. Mnemo ships multiple scheduling algorithms, keyboard driven review, and decks with images and rich formatting.

Mind maps for connected thinking

Lay out a topic spatially. Shape, color, and label nodes and edges, then switch between editing and a clean preview when you study.

Why it works

Built around how memory actually behaves

New material fades fast. A century of memory research, starting with Ebbinghaus, shows that retention drops steeply within days unless you revisit the material. Spacing reviews out and actively recalling answers flattens that curve.

Mnemo is built on those two ideas: spaced repetition schedules your reviews before you forget, and flashcards force recall instead of rereading.

Private by design
