MemX is a document locker that finds things for you. Receipts, warranties, IDs, insurance cards, bills, PDFs: type what you need and MemX pulls it up in seconds. No folders, no tags, no filenames. Just search. Your important papers are scattered across your camera roll, downloads, email attachments and WhatsApp chats. MemX reads the text inside every photo and document, so you can find the one you need without remembering where you put it. TV BROKE? FIND THE WARRANTY Type "TV receipt" or "dishwasher warranty" and MemX finds the bill and the warranty card, even if it's a blurry photo from two years ago. Check your coverage before you pay for a repair visit. YOUR IDS, ALWAYS AT HAND Passport, driving licence, residence card, insurance card, PAN, Aadhaar. Search "passport" at the airport counter or "insurance card" at the clinic and it's on screen in seconds, in India or anywhere else in the world. NEVER MISS AN EXPIRY DATE MemX spots expiry and due dates inside your documents (passport, visa, insurance policy, warranty, subscription, bill) and reminds you before they run out. REMINDERS IN PLAIN WORDS Type or say it: "Remind me every Monday and Thursday to follow up with the landlord for the next six weeks." MemX sets the recurring reminders, ends them on time and keeps nudging until you mark them done. ASK, DON'T DIG "When does my car insurance expire?" "What's the warranty period on the fridge?" "How much was the electricity bill in March?" MemX answers from the document itself and shows you the document it came from. CAPTURE ANYTHING Point your camera at a receipt, prescription, business card or contract clause. Share PDFs and photos from any app, or forward documents from WhatsApp. MemX reads them and makes them searchable forever. PRIVATE BY ARCHITECTURE Per-user encryption with keys only you control. Even the MemX team can't read your data, not as a policy but as a property of the system. Your content is never used to train AI models. Delete everything, anytime. Stop digging. Just search.

About

FlowState

Tell FlowState what kind of brain showed up today. It'll show you the tasks that fit. Built for ADHD brains — and anyone whose focus comes and goes — FlowState matches your to-do list to your current energy. Scattered, steady, locked, or foggy. The tasks that fit surface. The ones that don't get out of the way. ENERGY-MATCHED TASKS Pick the level of focus you actually have. Low-focus surfaces errands and emails. High-focus brings the deep work forward. Foggy days hide the list entirely and offer one gentle action — because some days, that's the win. BRAIN-DUMP TO TASKS Paste a wall of "I need to…" and FlowState rewrites it into clean, action-oriented tasks. It drops the filler ("I have to", "remember to"), starts each title with a verb, and tags an energy level so you know when to do it. RIGHT-SIZED FOCUS TIMER 5 minutes when scattered. 25 when steady. No cap when locked in. The timer follows you out of the app via Live Activity and Lock Screen widgets, so the session stays alive even when your attention doesn't. ROUTINES THAT KNOW THEIR PLACE Morning, midday, or evening routines with optional reminders. They show up where they belong instead of nagging from a separate tab. CALENDAR ALONGSIDE TASKS Read your iOS calendar so events and tasks live side by side. Calendar content never leaves your device. PARK WITHOUT SHAME Brain hijack mid-session? Park the task. Come back when you're ready. No streak to defend, no chain to break. CALM BY DESIGN No streaks. No badges. No daily score. No green ticks judging you for the day you missed. The only celebration is the quiet one when you finish a task.
