Getting started
Mnemo is a free, local-first desktop study app with notes, flashcards, mind maps, and an experimental AI assistant.
Mnemo is a desktop study application. It combines a block-based note editor, spaced-repetition flashcards, and mind maps in one window. Everything is stored locally on your machine. There is no account, no cloud sync, and no tracking.
The main tools
- Notes: a block-based editor with rich formatting, math equations, code blocks, images, and text-based diagrams.
- Flashcards: decks with cloze support and four scheduling algorithms, including FSRS.
- Mind maps: a node-and-edge canvas with automatic layouts.
The Overview page is your dashboard. It shows configurable widgets for recent notes, recent decks, study goals, and usage statistics.
Mnemo also ships an experimental, fully local AI assistant. It is off by default and requires a separate model download.

You can take your data with you using .mnemo package exports.
