## What is Memento?

Memento is the simple, fast reminders app for people who actually rely on their reminders. There's no clutter and no learning curve, just your reminders, showing up at the right moment.

Whether it's errands, groceries, chores or everyday to-dos, Memento makes it quick to jot something down and easy to remember what matters. It works with the reminders you already have in Apple's Reminders, synced through iCloud.

Everything you need, nothing you don't:

• Time and location alerts that remind you at the right moment or place
• Due dates that nudge you on the day, at the time you choose
• Priorities you can spot at a glance
• Lists with their own colors and icons
• Four layouts to see your reminders your way: Minimal, Peek, List or Card
• Scheduled shows what's coming up by day, week and month. Drag a reminder to reschedule it
• Links keeps every saved web page in one place, with previews
• Search finds any reminder by its title, notes, list or date, even with a typo
• Sort by hand, date or priority, with filters throughout
• Actionable notifications, so you can get things done without opening the app
• Widgets, Siri and Shortcuts
• Send reminders to friends in Messages
• Keyboard shortcuts, dark mode and full VoiceOver support
• iCloud sync across iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch and Apple Vision Pro

Memento is fast, energy-efficient and private.

• No tracking
• No accounts required
• Optional anonymous crash reports, which you can turn off in Settings. Never your reminders.

Your reminders stay on your devices and sync securely through iCloud.

Since 2016, Memento has been made by one independent developer who believes reminders should be calm, quick and reliable. If that sounds like you, Memento is built for you.

### 3/5 — Love the app

*2026-09-18*

Noticed since updating to ios27 there is bug which causes it to crash when in reminders and holding the note it crashes.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the review! We’re actually working on a huge update to Memento, and we’ll make sure this bug is fixed as well.

### 5/5 — good

*2026-03-02*

I bought them all to cheer them on
I hope you can support me in Korean
Please support us with updates for a long time

I'll be rooting for you. Fighting!

반복해서 울리는 스누즈 기능이있으면 합니다. 꼭 추가해주세요*****

**Developer response:** 응원해 주셔서 정말 감사합니다! 오래오래 업데이트하겠습니다. 💪 반복해서 울리는 스누즈 기능 요청도 잘 기록해 두었습니다. 좋은 의견 감사드립니다.

### 3/5 — 見やすさ使いやすさは素晴らしい

*2026-01-11*

バックアップができない。

**Developer response:** ご意見ありがとうございます。リマインダーをCSVなどのファイルに書き出せるエクスポート機能のご要望として、しっかり記録しました。なお、MementoのリマインダーはアップルのリマインダーとしてiCloudに保存・同期されているため、iCloudの「リマインダー」がオンになっていれば、データ自体は自動的に保存されています。

### 1/5 — Serious data integrity issue

*2025-12-20, version 4.5*

Just downloaded this app and immediately found an issue.  I rescheduled a reminder in Memento but when I look at the reminder in the IOS Reminders app it still shows the old schedule date/time.  A very poor showing.  I am inclined to ask for a refund but will hope the developer sees this and explains why this obvious defect has gone unnoticed.

### 4/5 — No hourly repeat option

*2025-11-29, version 4.5*

This seems like a good app and I really like grid layout as it helps my brain to have it more visual. Unfortunately it doesn’t work for me because there is no option to set repeat reminders on an hourly basis.

### 5/5 — Great organizer

*2025-10-08, version 4.5*

I was always trying to find an app let me keep track of things-to-do and a shopping list in one so I can put that widget on my Home Screen. I’m retired so I don’t have a set schedule. Menento lets me keep track of daily activities and my shopping list easily. Highly recommended to keep your life organized.

### 1/5 — リマインダの文字が小さい

*2025-01-30*

フォントの大きさを調整できれば、良いアプリなのでしょうが、文字が小さすぎて現状では使いものになりません。
早期に解決してください。
一番大切なところに作者の気持ちが活かされていない、残念なアプリです。

**Developer response:** レビューありがとうございます！Mementoは、お使いの携帯のアクセシビリティメニューで設定されたフォントサイズに対応していますので、そこで文字サイズを大きくすることで、アプリ内でも大きなフォントが表示されます。

### 4/5 — url 입력시 앱이 강제 종료됨

*2025-01-25*

브라우를 인앱으로 설정하고 url 입력시  앱이 강제 종료됨.
브라우저를 사파리로 설정하고 url 입력시  앱이 강제 종료되지 않으나 url입력 불가!
고쳐주셔요

**Developer response:** Thank you for the review! Can you reach out to betterremindersapp@gmail.com with more details on this bug?

### 3/5 — Add countdown for days and hours

*2025-01-01, version 4.4.5*

Very good but it mis countdown remain time for the event❤️
