STOP LOSING
THOUGHTS
TO FOLDERS.

Mneme is a zettelkasten you can actually keep: one idea per card, links instead of hierarchies, files you own. A system, not a mood.

Attention residue

Unfinished loops occupy working memory. Externalize them or they tax the next hour.

No folders

Folders are a bet that you will remember the taxonomy. You will not. Links survive.

Walking notes

The best sentences arrive off-desk. Capture in one tap; file later, if ever.

Evergreen

Rewrite the same note until it is true. Dates are for the inbox, not the idea.

Local-first

A second brain that lives on someone else’s server is a rented memory.

Daily slip

One card per day, even empty. Continuity is a feature. Streaks are not the point.

SPEC

Storage

Plain text on disk. You can read it in fifty years.

Structure

No folders. IDs, titles, and links. That is the whole model.

Search

Full text plus graph neighborhood. Meaning, then keywords.

Sync

Optional. Offline is the default, not a degraded mode.

Price

Free for a private mind. Forever.
