tips and tricks
Three small habits that make MEMO even better.

- move it over the writing
using the space
Depending on what you write, turn MEMO:
- horizontally for a classic feel
- vertically for longer lists
card sorting
For the easiest access to your cards:

Small enough for your pocket. Big enough for your best ideas.
Patent-protected design. Designed in The Netherlands. MEMO uses magnets to hold the pen, so keep it away from a pacemaker.
care and safety
wiping and cleaning
Wipe your notes away with the eraser. Every once in a while, give the board a gentle clean with a microfiber cloth: that is the safest way to care for the surface. MEMO folds closed, so what you wrote does not smudge in your pocket. For the cleanest lines, use a fine point whiteboard pen like the Pen Pro.
magnetic field
MEMO uses magnets to hold the pen. The magnetic field may harm pacemaker wearers, so keep MEMO away from a pacemaker.
