## What is MemoryAnchor?

A freeform canvas for your most important ideas. Place them anywhere. Move them with physics or precision. 

MemoryAnchor is a visual thinking space where ideas have weight, position, and presence. Instead of burying thoughts in folders or endless lists, place them on a canvas where you can see everything at once.

TWO WAYS TO MOVE
Physics Mode — ideas drift and settle like physical objects. They bounce off edges, separate when crowded, and create a living workspace. Drag an idea and watch it glide into place.

Grid Mode — precise positioning with no collisions for structured thinking. Switch between modes anytime.

WHY SEVEN?
Your working memory holds about seven items. MemoryAnchor respects that limit. Seven ideas max forces you to keep only what matters right now. When something becomes less important, it visually fades — a gentle signal to let go or reinforce.

SET FOCUS
Pick one idea that matters most. It pulses with a breathing glow and gets automatic importance promotion. Single-focus constraint keeps you honest about priorities.

MEMORY ANALYTICS
Tap the brain icon to see how your ideas are doing. Which thoughts you return to most. When memories will fade. Your garden health score. Patterns without judgment.

RICH CONTENT
Each idea can hold text, photos, audio recordings, video, or links. Everything in one spatial system.

PRIVACY
All data stays on your device. No cloud, no accounts, no tracking. Your ideas are yours.

One-time purchase. No subscriptions. No premium tiers.

Perfect for visual thinkers, brainstormers, and anyone who organizes better by position than by list.

New name, same spatial canvas. Settings now shows the correct version number (it was stuck on 1.1). We also added VoiceOver labels to the settings and add-memory buttons, so the app works better with assistive technology. A bit of unused code was cleaned out under the hood.
