Mnemo
Bring notes, flashcards, and mind maps into one study workspace.
Study in a free, open-source desktop app with a visual block editor, Markdown import and export, spaced-repetition flashcards, and mind maps. Notes support tables, equations, code highlighting, tabs, and PDF export, while study dashboards track your practice. Your data stays in the app’s local storage rather than a folder of Markdown files. Mnemo is in beta on Windows, Apple silicon Macs, and Linux; the Linux build is a preview.
