See the note you need today the moment you check your phone. Memo is for short notes you look at repeatedly: shopping lists, things to bring, tasks for today, quick checklists, URLs, and small reminders you do not want buried inside a full note app. Select the notes that matter now and keep them available from the lock screen and Notification Center, so you can check them without opening the app and searching through a long list. Use it when a reminder is too heavy and a long note is too easy to forget. A grocery list while you are walking through a store. Things to pack before you leave. A short set of steps you need to follow. A URL you want to keep with the rest of your notes. A few tasks that should stay visible today. What you can do with Memo: - Add selected notes to Notification Center - Check frequently viewed notes from the lock screen - Organize notes with tags such as shopping, work, home, or travel - Mark notes as done with strikethrough — completed notes stay visible but dimmed - Share notes as Markdown with tag headings and checkbox support - Customize up to four floating action buttons for quick access to your most-used actions - Save URLs from Safari and other apps with the Share Extension - Import line-by-line lists from a text file - Move finished notes to the archive - Delete notes you no longer need - Create an iCloud backup and restore it when needed Memo is intentionally simple. It is not trying to replace a full notebook, calendar, or project manager. It works best for the small pieces of information you want to see quickly and repeatedly. If you need to write a long document, use a note app. If you need an alarm at a specific time, use a reminder. If you want a short note to stay close at hand, use Memo. Strikethrough lets you mark notes as done without deleting them. A completed shopping item or finished step stays in the list but appears dimmed, so you always know what is left. When you are done, move the checked items to the archive in one step. When you want to share a set of notes, export them as Markdown. Tags become headings, and notes marked with strikethrough are written as [x] checkboxes. Useful for sending a list to someone else or pasting it into another app. Tags help keep the list manageable as your notes grow. You can separate shopping, errands, work, home, travel, and personal notes, then choose only the items that should appear in Notification Center. Finished items can be archived so your active list stays focused, while older notes remain available when you need them. The Share Extension makes it easy to send a URL or text from another app into Memo. When you find a page, product, recipe, or reference you want to check later, save it with a tag and keep moving. Text import is useful for preparing a list on another device or in another app, then bringing it into Memo as individual notes. For small notes that need to stay visible, not buried, keep them on your lock screen and in Notification Center with Memo.

AnjiCard is a sharp sword for learners. At present, only a few people learn it. In the exam, if one person has mastered the learning method of using AnjiCard, it will be a great injustice to others. It is a competition between fist and machine gun. AnjiCard is not only a learning tool, but also an external embodiment of a learning method ahead of the times. If you want to spend the same time and want to surpass most people, AnjiCard, you should understand! What exactly is AnjiCard? AnjiCard is introduced in many places as a memory aid tool. Such introduction is unattractive and does not reflect the real value of AnjiCard. I prefer to introduce it to others. AnjiCard is a learning tool to help you scientifically use your brain to remember all information. Compared with traditional learning methods, it does not improve the learning effect by 10% or 20%, but several times. [as an ordinary person, what effect does AnjiCard have on me?] 1. Effectively improve test scores and apply to all tests 2. Improve learning quality and take the initiative to find weak knowledge points 3. Learning algorithms bring efficiency changes and reduce time waste 4. Focus more on the learning process and reduce the number of distractions 5. Multi terminal, learning anytime, anywhere 6. Knowledge will be remembered for life and will not be forgotten after learning [what can AnjiCard be used to learn?] If you ask me, AnjiCard is suitable for learning that knowledge, my answer is "almost everything". -Learning English with AnjiCard -Using AnjiCard to cope with the college entrance examination -Using AnjiCard to deal with postgraduate entrance examination -Learning mathematics with AnjiCard -Learning programming with AnjiCard -Study law with AnjiCard -Learning Chinese with AnjiCard -Learn to drive with AnjiCard -Learning medicine with AnjiCard -Almost everything you can think of can be learned with AnjiCard... Because no matter what knowledge you learn, you almost need to learn by remembering the knowledge points. When you finish reading books and listening to classes, these knowledge is only short-term memory in your brain. The short-term memory can only last for a few minutes. When you need examination, expression and application, you can't retrieve and use the learned knowledge from your brain. If you want to better test taking and application, you need to change the learned knowledge from short-term memory to long-term memory, so that you can call it quickly when needed, and AnjiCard was born to solve this problem.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Memo at 85% against AnjiCard's 47%. Memo also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 weeks). AnjiCard's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (757 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Memo sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and AnjiCard sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Memo holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AnjiCard has 757 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 85% of Memo's written reviews are positive against 47% of AnjiCard's.
Memo ships an update every 6 days, AnjiCard every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
