Never forget anything again! Your Own Personal Database Now, with Memory Vault, you always have your own personal database with you …permanently available to retrieve information you may have forgotten and want to remember. We’ve all had that frustrating experience of not being able to remember something that we know very well, but just can’t think of it: a friend’s name, a relative’s birthday, a restaurant, a favorite movie, an actor, etc. Now these slippery memories can be retrieved instantly with Memory Vault. How It Works Memory Vault stores the item you want to remember along with keywords and hints that remind you of the item and links them together. Later, although you may not be able to remember the item, when thinking of it, you will recall the keywords or hints related to it. Merely enter the keywords or hints that you do remember. Memory Vault searches your database for a match of the keyword or hint with the forgotten item and displays it. Voila! The name, place or thing you couldn’t remember is found!

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Memory Vault Plus at none against Workflowy's 2. Memory Vault Plus also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 88%). Workflowy's advantage is ratings volume (8.2K vs 8) and update cadence (weekly vs every 5 weeks). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Workflowy holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Workflowy has 8.2K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 88% of Workflowy's written reviews are positive against 100% of Memory Vault Plus's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Workflowy ships an update weekly, Memory Vault Plus every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 12, 2026 respectively.
