How it works
How Memlet works.
A short walk through what you can do. You can skim it or skip it. For why it exists, read about the project.
Two tabs
Memlet has two tabs at the bottom of the screen. Storage is where you keep the things you save, like links, images, videos, and files. To-dos is a set of checklists you build by typing or by talking.
There is no account and no folders. Everything stays on your phone.
Saving to Storage
You add things to Storage in two ways.
- From other apps: use the iOS share sheet. Send a link, photo, video, PDF, or file to Memlet and it is saved. You can add a short note as you share.
- Inside Memlet: tap the + in Storage and pick Link, Image, Video, PDF, or File.
Memlet fills in the details for you. For a link it pulls the page's title and image. For an image it reads any text in the picture. For a PDF it pulls the text and a cover thumbnail.
Storage is for things you save, not for typed notes. If you want to write something down to act on, make it a to-do instead.
Your storage
Everything you save shows up as a card, newest first, grouped by when you saved it, like Today, This Week, and This Month. There is no nesting and no filing.
- Filter by type with the chips up top: All, Link, Image, Video, PDF, File.
- Search across titles, the text inside your items, and links.
- Pin the things you want kept at the top.
- Tap a card to open the full item, add a note, or set a reminder.
Auto-groups
As you save more, Memlet looks for things that go together, like cooking or travel, and shows them as chips above your storage. Tap a chip to see just those items.
- Groups are suggestions, not folders. Nothing is moved.
- Memlet has no servers of its own; the grouping is done by Apple Intelligence.
- You can turn them off in Settings.
Auto-groups use Apple Intelligence, so they need a device that supports it. Without it, Storage simply stays a plain list.
To-dos
The To-dos tab is a set of checklists. Make one by typing it out, or by talking and letting Memlet turn what you said into a list.
- Tap to check items off. Tap a list's header to mark the whole thing done.
- Add a quick item to a list at any time.
- Give a list a reminder so your phone nudges you.
- Attach saved items to a list, so a task can point to the links or files it is about.
- Pin the lists you use most.
Voice to a list
To make a list by voice, start a voice note in the To-dos tab and just talk. Memlet transcribes what you say on your phone, then turns it into a checklist of tasks you can edit before saving.
- Apple transcribes your speech live as you talk.
- Memlet pulls out the real tasks and skips the filler.
- Review the list, then save it as a new list or add it to an existing one.
On an iPhone with an Action Button, you can set it to start a Memlet voice note. Turning a voice note into a list uses Apple Intelligence.
Review and recall
Memlet helps you come back to things instead of letting them pile up and get forgotten.
- Recall surfaces: a strip at the top can show things like what you saved on this day before, or items from last week you have not opened.
- Review: go through old or unopened items one at a time and choose Keep or Let go.
- Auto-archive: optionally move items you have not opened in a while out of the main view. They are archived, not deleted.
You control all of this in Settings.
Your data
Memlet itself has no servers and no account. Your saved items stay on your phone, with no cloud sync.
When you save a link, the app goes online once to fetch the page's title and image. The voice, titling, and grouping features are powered by Apple Intelligence, which follows Apple's own privacy terms.
