Mnemesia is built for medical school: the course, the cards and the exam together in one workspace, from the first year to the national ranking exam. No account and no Mnemesia server: everything stays on your devices, and it works offline. COURSES Import course PDFs from the Files app, iCloud Drive or other cloud storage, and organize them by year, semester, module and chapter. Annotate them directly: highlighters, text, freehand drawings. Text recognition makes the text selectable, even on scanned lecture notes. A tape laid over a line hides it: lift it to check what you remember. Apple Pencil gets its own ring of tools, and the tool island shrinks away like in Notes. FLASHCARDS Make a card from the open course without leaving it: front and back, cloze deletion, or image masking to quiz yourself on an anatomy plate or a physiology diagram. Spaced repetition decides what comes back, and when. MULTIPLE-CHOICE TESTS Build a test, take it against the clock, then go through the answers question by question: multiple choice, short answer and progressive clinical cases, images included. Every answer sheet stays available, missed questions can be retaken in one tap, and results break down by chapter. The scoring rules of the EDN (the French national medical ranking exam) are available, as well as points-based scoring for faculty exams. To practise, tick several tests: questions are spread across courses, each test keeps its own grade, and the session resumes where you left off. Past papers have their own view, PDF papers included. J-METHOD In the first year, each course you learn comes back at J1, J3, J7 and so on, in the calendar. Anything overdue shows at a glance. ORGANIZING Courses, groups, subjects, decks and tests can be ticked to move or delete them at once, or rearranged by dragging. Each subject keeps its colour across every tab. PLANNER Enter the exam dates: the review load spreads over the remaining days, starting with what weighs most. EDN ITEMS In the clinical years, a tab organizes the EDN items by specialty, and each course is linked to its item. IPHONE, IPAD AND MAC Turn on iCloud in Settings: courses, cards, progress and planner move from one device to another in seconds, through your own iCloud account. The iPad and the Mac each keep a full copy that works offline. Everything is on iPhone too: read and import courses, review cards, take tests, check your planner and organize it all just as on iPad or Mac. FILES Documents stay as files, visible in the Files app. Whatever you delete in Mnemesia goes to an Archives folder instead of being erased. Nothing is locked into a format only this app could read. IMPORT AND EXPORT .apkg decks import as they are, media included, with their review history, and export back to .apkg. CSV and TSV lists import too. PRIVACY No sign-up is required and no data is collected. Documents, cards and results stay on your devices, and in your iCloud if you turn it on. In English and French. Designed by an engineer who is also a medical student, for medical students. ## Is Mnemesia safe? Not enough ratings yet to assess Mnemesia. ## Is Mnemesia legit?

Questions are spread across handouts, each exam keeps its own grade, and a practice session resumes where you left off. • Past papers: a separate view next to exams, with the papers as PDFs. An exam moves to past papers and back in one click. • MCQ history in two views, Exams and Practice, with the average of each exam. • Multiple selection: handouts, groups, subjects, decks and exams can be ticked, then deleted or moved at once. They can also be rearranged by dragging. • Mnemesia folder: the folder on disk and the app now talk both ways, and nothing is erased any more: whatever you delete goes to Archives. • iPhone: a Courses tab to read and import your handouts, and everything can be organised from the phone, just like on iPad or Mac. • Attachments (PDF, Word, photos, voice memos) open right in the app. • Subjects: colour, archiving and renaming also from Flashcards and MCQs; a new subject shows up there straight away, even empty. • J method: following a course no longer marks J0 as done; you tick it the day you learn it. • A name too long to fit scrolls on hover so you can read it in full. • iCloud: if your other device has already stored its courses, Mnemesia offers to merge them instead of refusing. • More reliable Apple Calendar sync, and Mnemesia tells you when a new version is available. ### 1.0.14 — 2026-10-11 • J method: each subject can now have its own sequence (tight for immunology, classic for semiology), in Sequence and options. A single handout can still keep its own. • Add to my J: handouts are grouped by subject, in its colour, with a filter and "Select all" to follow a whole subject at once. • In clinical years, handouts and chapters can again be followed alongside the EDN items. • iPhone: item colours display and can be picked just like on the computer, and J cards are easier to read. • Highlighting: tapping in the margin or between two lines snaps to the nearest word. • Margin notes: the field grows with your text. • Planner: a week containing a late-evening event displays normally again. • Apple Calendar: syncing no longer stops on an undated event from another calendar. ### 1.0.13 — 2026-10-09 • Practice: one screen for flashcards and MCQs. Tick a whole subject or a few chapters, then choose the mode, the number of questions, the order and the scoring (EDN rules, or points on your own scale). • MCQs: correction after each question, with its explanation, for every format. • MCQs: going back to the previous question is now optional, in Compose and in Practice. A test taken with going back allowed counts toward no grade. • Progressive cases, KFP and critical appraisal: always taken as one block, never split by shuffling. In the editor, drag a question from one case to another. • Critical appraisal: attach the article as a PDF. During the test it sits next to the question, sharp at any zoom, full screen if needed. • MCQ editor: every format is explained (single, multiple, stated number, short answer, TCS, point-and-click), and a case is created in one click with its first question. • Doubts: add a note for yourself ("I hesitated with B"); it comes back at correction and in the mistakes notebook. • MCQ screen: "Next test" opens one you have never taken, otherwise the oldest. • Menu and contrast fixes. ### 1.0.12 — 2026-10-09 • Imports that sort themselves: drop a semester folder (lectures, flashcards, MCQs), zipped or not; every file lands in its place, with no duplicates. • Redesigned course annotations: one Pen (pen, marker, pencil, highlighter, eraser), text boxes (System, Serif, Times New Roman, Mono, Handwritten), shapes (rectangle, oval, line, arrow), redesigned sticky notes and margin remarks. The toolbar sits at the bottom, at the top, on a side, or anywhere you like. • A full Mistakes page: by subject, then course, chapter or past papers. One tap reopens the course at the right page, or the MCQ question to retry. • MCQs: flag a doubt during a test (button or D key); at correction, right answers you doubted go to the notebook just like wrong ones. • MCQs: link a test to its course and keep past papers apart. A course's J marks come only from its own tests; past papers count for no J. • EDN items: your own tabs (S1, S2…), named and reordered by dragging; adding items to your Js opens on the latest tab. • Courses: hidden subjects and archives in one menu, archive a whole semester in one gesture. • First launch: your Mnemesia folder is created in one click. • Many fixes, especially on iPad with a finger and Apple Pencil. ### 1.0.11 — 2026-10-05 What's new in 1.0.11 • Breast Cancer Awareness Month: the Mnemesia icon turns pink for October. • Flashcard review: at the start of each session, choose shuffled or in course order. An imported deck keeps the order of its file. • One planner: your device calendars (personal, school, Google or Outlook accounts added in Settings) appear in the Mnemesia planner, and your sessions appear in a "Mnemesia" calendar in the Calendar app. A session moved in Calendar is picked up by Mnemesia. • J-method: reorder the J of a day by dragging them. • MCQs: your tests are saved as files in the Mnemesia folder, like decks, and the ones you drop there are read when you sync. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
