Why it works

More than another app on your homescreen

Memoranda is built around one idea: things you save should eventually become things you know.

Actually remember what you read

Turn passing highlights into knowledge you can recall on demand, instead of forgetting it by your next book.

Build a habit that gives something back

Replace a few minutes of mindless scrolling with a few minutes that leave you better off.

Learn faster with active recall

Testing yourself — not just re-reading — is proven to make memory stick longer.

Keep what inspires you close

Revisit the quotes and lines that motivate you until they become part of how you think.

Make language learning stick

Review new words and phrases the same way you'd review anything else worth knowing by heart.

See real progress

Your streak and stats turn memorization from a vague goal into something you can watch improve.

No pressure, no clutter

A calm, focused review session — just you and the next card, at your own pace.

Your content, always private

Everything lives on your device, not someone else's server.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

What is Memoranda?+

Memoranda is a swipe-based app for memorizing the things worth remembering — book highlights, favorite quotes, new vocabulary, or anything you've saved but never actually learned. Swipe through your own deck of cards, and Memoranda tracks what's sticking and what needs another pass.

How does the swipe review work?+

Each card shows something you've saved. If you remember it, swipe right (or tap the checkmark). If you don't, swipe left (or tap the X) and it'll come back around later. You can undo the last swipe anytime, so there's no pressure to get it "right."

What's the difference between a quote and a recall card?+

A quote card shows the text right away — great for things you just want to revisit often. A recall card hides the passage behind its title until you tap "Reveal," so you can test yourself before checking the answer — ideal for poems, passages, or anything you want to memorize word-for-word.

Is my data private?+

Yes. Memoranda doesn't have accounts, servers, or analytics. Every card you add and every review you complete is stored locally on your device. Nothing is uploaded, shared, or sold. See our Privacy Policy below for details.

Which platforms does Memoranda support?+

Memoranda is built for iOS and Android.

Is Memoranda free?+

Memoranda is free to download and use.

Can I add my own quotes and highlights?+

Absolutely — that's the whole point. Add your own quotes or full passages, edit or delete anything in your deck, and search your full collection anytime.

Do I need an internet connection to use the app?+

No. Memoranda works fully offline — your deck and stats live on your device, not in the cloud.

How is this different from just re-reading my highlights?+

Re-reading is passive — it feels productive but doesn't build lasting memory. Memoranda uses active recall (testing yourself, not just rereading), a well-established, more effective way to make things stick.
