Other Memory

Other Memory for iPhone is the focused companion to the Other Memory workbench on Mac. It connects directly to your file-first Zettelkasten in Files or iCloud Driveβwithout an account or a second cloud database. CAPTURE WHILE THE THOUGHT IS PRESENT Create Inbox notes immediately and return to them on the Mac for rewriting and deliberate placement. TAKE LITERATURE NOTES WITH YOU Browse and edit literature notes. Start a new source from a camera image, photo, ISBN, DOI, or manually entered details. Pending sources remain visible in your vault for later bibliography reconciliation on the Mac. RETURN TO YOUR KASTEN Search placed Zettels by address, title, or text. Browse your authored Index, open cards, select and copy passages, copy Zettel references, and follow the links you created. BUILT AROUND YOUR FILES One permanent Zettel remains one ordinary Markdown file. Other Memory reads the vault folder you choose in Files or iCloud Drive. It does not require an account and does not replace your vault with a proprietary synchronized database. THE IPHONE ROLE The phone is for capture, reading, lookup, and lightweight continuation. Permanent placement, structure, bibliography reconciliation, Vault Map, and Writing Assembly remain in the Mac workbench. Other Memory is designed for a deliberate, Folgezettel-based Zettelkasten: durable addresses, local placement, authored links, curated entry points, and writing downstream of the box. To work with your own material, select an existing Other Memory vault in Files or iCloud Drive. The Mac workbench is distributed separately.
