Memorae

What's great

Memorae is one of those ideas that feels obvious the moment you use it. It sits quietly in WhatsApp, gets out of your way, and handles the small cognitive overhead we all pretend we’re on top of. You simply tell it what you need, and it does the rest. No dashboards, no extra app to maintain, no switching contexts.

  • Seamless: You stay in the same flow you already use every day. It feels less like using a tool and more like texting someone who’s unusually reliable.

  • Invisible: Most of the time you forget it’s there — until it reminds you of something you would have absolutely forgotten.

  • Smart: Natural-language inputs work well. “Remind me tomorrow morning to call the insurance” is enough. It recognises recurring patterns, lists, and categories without overthinking it.

  • Fast: Because everything happens in chat, the entire system feels immediate.

  • Customer service: The team responds quickly and takes feedback seriously, which matters when the product becomes part of your daily routines.

What needs improvement

  • Missed reminders: If you don’t act on a reminder when it fires, it’s gone. A gentle “still relevant?” nudge later in the day would make it more robust.

  • No memory overview: You can’t see everything you’ve told it to remember. A simple history or “brain view” would add transparency without breaking the minimalism.

  • Occasional non-responses: Every now and then it doesn’t react to an input. It’s rare, but for a tool built on trust, reliability should be absolute.

Memorae is already strong where it matters: simplicity, speed, and almost zero cognitive friction. It gives you the sense that your mental overhead is finally outsourced. With a few improvements around reliability and visibility, it could become one of those small tools you quietly use for the next ten years.

What happens if I’m offline or lose connectivity?

It uses the WhatsApp client and uses their offline handling.

Yes it can

Can I snooze, reschedule, or delegate tasks via chat?

Fabric
Fabric is a fantastic tool. It combines the speed of MyMind, the smartness of mem.ai and it handles almost any file format. I could not be without it.

I love that Twos ✌️ is doing something no other App is doing. It has a unique approach, and Kevin and his team are shipping updates ever so often. I would recommend giving Twos ✌️ a try for a few weeks. Then you start feeling what makes it so quick and easy. I would love to have a somewhat bigger typography, but besides that, Twos ✌️ is such a great companion. I can highly recommend it.

Reflect
I stumbled over Reflect a few weeks ago and fell in love. Obsidian is too complicated, Notion and Craft are too slow, and Agenda and others have sync issues. I hope the Reflect team keeps the app lean and fast.
