## What is GudMem?

Thirty new faces, and you are expected to know them by next week. GudMem gets you from "who is that again?" to greeting every one of them by name — in days, not months.

A class, a team, a club, a cohort, a whole conference: if the names matter, this is the shortest way in. Teachers use GudMem for a new class every August — so do trainers, managers, coaches, care staff, and anyone who walks into a room full of strangers.

YOUR GROUP, IN ABOUT A MINUTE
Import the list you already have: a PDF, a Word file, a CSV, photos, a web page — or just type the names in. GudMem finds the faces and names on the page, crops each portrait, and builds your group in seconds. A quick correction grid lets you fix any misread name with one tap. What used to be a 20-minute data-entry chore becomes a few taps.

SMART TRAINING, NOT FLASHCARD GRINDING
• Spaced repetition (FSRS) shows each face exactly when you are about to forget it.
• Confusion drills: GudMem notices which two people you keep mixing up and drills exactly that pair until they separate.
• Quiz modes that grow with you: tap the name, name → face, first letter, beat the letters, free recall, audio.
• Sessions fit into five spare minutes. All caught up? Keep practicing anyway — extra rounds never mess up your review schedule.

HEAR THE NAME RIGHT
Record how a name is actually pronounced — asking is a great icebreaker — and play it back while you study.

SEE YOURSELF GET FASTER
Streaks, per-face mastery, answer-time trends, your most-confused pair, and a forecast of what is due next.

PRIVACY IS THE ARCHITECTURE, NOT A SETTING
You are putting other people's faces on your phone, so GudMem is built so nothing can leak:
• No account, no analytics, no cloud. Nothing you import ever leaves your phone.
• All processing — face detection, text recognition, the learning engine — runs on-device.
• Photos and recordings live in storage excluded from cloud backups.
• Optional Face ID lock.
• Delete everything in one tap.
The app only touches the network when you ask it to: fetching a web page you choose to import, sending a message through the built-in feedback form, or opening the Help page.

FAIR PRICING
Your first 15 faces are free, with every feature included. One single purchase unlocks unlimited faces and groups — no subscription, ever. Teachers and trainers get 50% off.

Available in English, German, and French.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.7 — 2026-08-20

Help & feedback, rebuilt: the Help tab now opens our own help centre — clearer articles, updated for everything new in GudMem.

Your voice, in the open: feedback now lands on our public board. See what others suggested, and follow your idea as it moves from backlog to done.

### 1.0.6 — 2026-08-19

Meet first: new faces are introduced in small rounds (face + name together) before you're ever quizzed — no more guessing at strangers. The recap counts who you met and forecasts when you'll know everyone.

Company import: a ZIP with team folders can now import as one group per folder — smaller groups are learned faster.

### 1.0.4 — 2026-08-18

Import a whole group from photo files: pick a folder or ZIP of headshots — each file name becomes that person's name (hans-muster.jpg).

New faces now start as multiple choice until you've recognised them a few times — no more spelling a stranger's name from the first letter.

Also: answers confirm the full name, imports can be filed as class, team or club, and any photos the import couldn't use are listed instead of silently skipped.

### 1.0.3 — 2026-08-11

Practise the names you actually use.

Every group now has its own setting: first names, last names, or the whole name. Open a group and pick under PRACTISE. Rounds, letter hints and typing all follow your choice — so if you call your group by first name, that's what you train.

Your progress carries over unchanged when you switch.

### 1.0.2 — 2026-08-04

The sample groups that come with GudMem are now clearly marked as samples, and one tap removes all of them once you're ready to work with your own.

Your statistics now count only your own groups, so the numbers on the Stats tab are yours from day one.
