Ever bought a second one of something because you couldn't find the first? Memono keeps track of what you have at home โ€” and makes it worth looking at. Make a box for a shelf, a drawer, or an actual cardboard box. Photograph what goes in it. Memono lifts each object off its background and drops it into the box as a clean cutout, so a box on your screen looks like the pile of things it actually holds. CUTOUTS, NOT THUMBNAILS Snap a photo and the object is lifted from its background automatically. No cropping, no messy backgrounds โ€” your inventory becomes a collection of the things themselves. IT FILLS ITSELF IN On-device recognition guesses what you photographed and prefills the name and category. It reads the words printed on the thing, so search can match a model number you never typed in. Dictate the rest instead of typing it. And on a Pro iPhone the shutter measures what you shot, so the size sits under the name and you know whether it fits the shelf without hunting for a tape measure. BOXES THAT FEEL REAL A box's contents scatter into an organic little pile, not a spreadsheet grid. Boxes go inside other boxes, so a drawer can sit in the room it belongs to. Give each one its own icon, colour, and a note about where it lives. A MAP OF THE ROOM Scan a room and it becomes a small three-dimensional plan you can turn in your hand, or lay flat as a floor plan, storey by storey. Stand your boxes on the furniture they actually sit on, then tap a cupboard to see what's in it. Take out the ruler and the walls and the furniture say how big they are. Or hold the phone up and let Memono point at the cupboard your thing is standing in. Room scanning needs an iPhone Pro with LiDAR; everything else works on any iPhone. FIND ANYTHING Search by name, tag, category, or colour across every box โ€” including things you never typed a word about โ€” or just ask in a whole sentence. Browse everything you own in one heap, arrange the lot into a spectrum from white through to black, or set standing orders that keep clutter off the tray for good. SHARE A HOME WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS Open your home to the people you live with and everybody sees the same shelf: something added on one phone lands on the others. Decide per person whether they can change things or only look, and keep any box back for yourself. Friends get one box at a time rather than the run of the house. GIVE IT AWAY, OR LEND IT OUT Hand a thing over as a link or a file and it arrives on their phone as the same cutout, name and category intact. Or lend it, and Memono remembers who has it and since when, knocks on their phone when you'd like it back, and puts it home on your shelf when they say it's on its way. ASK THE HOUSE Can't find something? Put out a call and everyone you share with sees it. They can answer in words, or move the thing to where it really was, and your shelf corrects itself. PACK WITHOUT FORGETTING ANYTHING Say where you're going and build the list out of things you already own. Every line says which box to open and which room to walk to. Share the list, and whoever else is packing can add to it. LABELS, AND A PDF OF EVERYTHING Print a sheet of stickers and tape one to each box. Point a camera at the square and Memono opens that box โ€” a year later, in a loft, with the lid taped shut. Or export the whole house as a PDF with a photo on every line, ready for an insurance claim or a move. YOURS ALONE No account, no analytics, no tracking, no ads, no third-party SDK. The cutting out, the guess at what a thing is, the measuring, and the reading of the words printed on it all happen on your phone. Exactly five things reach the network, every one because you asked: handing or lending something over, sharing a home, iCloud sync, the feedback form, and asking what a thing is worth. Sharing and sync go to your own iCloud โ€” not to us. FREE TO TRY Three boxes, thirty items, one room free. One purchase, once, unlocks the rest, on every iPhone and iPad you sign in to.
