MEMO is a second brain that remembers life for you. Save passwords, ideas, prompts, reminders, notes, and random thoughts in seconds. MEMO automatically organizes everything for you. No folders, no forms, no setup. Just type. Later, ask MEMO naturally: • “What was the hotel Wi Fi password?” • “Find the prompt I used last week” • “What was the name of that coffee place?” • “Remind me to call mom tomorrow” MEMO searches only through things you’ve actually saved. Never invented. Never hallucinated. If you didn’t save it, MEMO tells you. What you can save • Passwords and private information • Ideas and side projects • Reminders and tasks • Prompts and AI chats • Places, restaurants, and recommendations • Random thoughts you don’t want to lose Smart reminders Timed reminders send notifications exactly when you need them, even when your phone is locked. Tasks without a specific time stay organized and ready when you are. Works in every language MEMO understands every language you type, even mixed languages. Dates, times, and reminders automatically match your local timezone wherever you are. Private by default Sign in with Apple in one tap. No passwords. No onboarding. Your data stays in your private vault. What MEMO is not MEMO is not a chatbot. It only knows what you save, and only answers from that. That’s why you can trust it with passwords, reminders, personal thoughts, and important details. Try it once, and the next time you need to remember something, you’ll open MEMO instead of searching through Notes, chats, or screenshots. MEMO Pro $6.99/month or $49.99/year Unlock: • Unlimited captures • Voice input • Screenshot and image memory • AI search across everything • Long term reminders Support Questions or feedback? ofri@ofrimishali.com MEMO is built one idea at a time. Subscription details: MEMO Pro is an auto-renewing subscription: $6.99 per month, or $49.99 per year. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. It renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and you can manage or cancel it any time in your Apple ID settings. AI processing: MEMO uses AI to transcribe, understand and organize what you save. The content you save (text, voice recordings, photos and screenshots) and the questions you ask are sent to OpenAI, which processes them on our behalf and does not use them to train its models. The app asks for your explicit agreement before any of this happens, and the disclosure stays available in Settings.
