Copying a textbook into a notebook eats the time you meant to spend memorizing it. And the words you did get down start to blur a few days later. Memento takes the copying off your hands and brings each card back just before you would forget it. β Snap a page, get the cards Photograph a textbook page and the words and sentences on it are sorted into a set of cards in one pass. Photos from your library, text you've copied, and PDFs work the same way, up to 40 pages of a PDF at a time. In a vocabulary folder each card gets a word, a meaning and an example sentence; in a knowledge folder, a front and a back. β Ask when you get stuck Stuck on something while you study? Ask right there. Try "How do I say 'rain on someone's parade' in Spanish?" and you get the meaning with an example, plus a draft card under the answer. Only the cards you tap Save on go into a folder. β Type the word, AI fills in the rest When you make a card yourself, type just the word and tap AI fill. The meaning and an example sentence are filled in for you. β Back right before you forget Every card gets its own next review date. Cards you know well come back less often and shaky ones more often, so the same study time goes to your weak spots. To review, flip the card and tap Again, Hard, Good or Easy. β On your Lock Screen Pin up to five must-know cards to the Lock Screen. Their fronts rotate there without opening the app, and a tap takes you straight into practice. You can also let the cards you miss most fill those spots automatically. β Paced to your exam date Set a target date on a folder and the number of new cards per day adjusts so you get through the whole folder by then. Days left and exam readiness show right on the folder. β Other ways through the same cards Type answer has you write the answer before you see the back. Autoplay moves through the cards on its own, and Match turns a folder into a matching game. Cards can be read aloud, too. β See where you stand Statistics show your current level, your recent trend and how well you know each folder. You can also review only the cards you keep missing. β Import and sync Anki decks (.apkg) import as well. Sign in to pick up the same cards on iPhone and iPad; without signing in, everything except sync still works. β Memento Pro The free plan already lets you ask AI questions and make cards from your material. Pro raises the AI limit for making cards from material and removes ads. Reviews, target dates and statistics are the same on free and Pro. Choose a monthly subscription with a 7-day free trial, or a one-time Lifetime purchase. Pro Monthly is an auto-renewable subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase, or when the free trial ends if one applies. It renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple Account settings. Lifetime is a single payment and does not renew. Text, photos and PDFs you give the AI features are sent to an external AI service to generate answers and cards. Details are in the Privacy Policy.
