Memora is a learning notes app designed to help you turn everyday learning into long-term memory, without study sessions. Save short notes like words, ideas, quotes, or facts the moment they come to you. Each note is automatically placed into its own adaptive memory sequence, built on the proven science of spaced repetition. Memora helps you remember by bringing notes back at the right moments. A short daily recall adjusts how often each note returns based on how well you remember it, while rotating home-screen widgets reinforce memory passively during normal phone use; even when you’re not actively using the app. This isn’t about cramming or forcing yourself to study. Memora works through small, repeated moments of recall that compound over time, helping memory strengthen naturally until remembering feels effortless. No long study sessions. Just a simple system that helps what you learn stay with you. Built for lifelong learners and busy people who want to keep learning and actually remember what they learn over the long term. Subscription Plans: • Monthly: $4.99 per month • Yearly: $24.99 per year Free Trial: A 3-day free trial is available with the yearly plan only.
