The Focus of Paper. The Findability of a Search Bar.
You write by hand because it's focused and it sticks. MEMO's on-device OCR makes it searchable too — so the note you wrote weeks ago is one search away. No more notebooks you never reopen.

How MEMO makes paper searchable
Open & Write
Flip open MEMO to reveal a 6-inch whiteboard surface. Use the magnetic pen to jot down ideas, tasks, or reminders in seconds.
Carry Everywhere
MEMO fits in your pocket like a regular wallet. It holds up to 6 cards and keeps your essentials safe with RFID-blocking technology.
Scan & Search
One tap saves your board to the free MEMO app — and on-device OCR turns your handwriting into searchable text. Tag it, organize it, find any note like a file. All private, on your device.
Erase & Repeat
Done with your notes? Simply wipe the whiteboard clean with the built-in eraser. Fresh surface, ready for your next brilliant idea.
What Our Customers Say

"MEMO just arrived, a practical thing of beauty. Beautifully designed, every detail has been honed to perfection. The whiteboard is a good size and the pen/eraser works perfectly. Great value for money."
"Exactly as advertised! Wallet 10/10, Customer Service 10/10. Had a small issue with my order and after a quick chat with customer service, everything was solved!"
"I find it very useful. It replaced all my other note jotting stuff. Having something small and lightweight that I can easily access to write down thoughts and reminders is a game changer."

The Notebook You Never Reopen
Paper notes usually disappear into pages you never flip back to. MEMO's OCR means every note stays findable, not buried.
The Study Archive
Write by hand for the memory benefit, then search across weeks of notes when it's time to revise. Focus now, findability later.

You know you wrote it down. With MEMO you can actually find it — a keyword search across everything you've kept.

Got Questions? We've Got Answers.
Yes. When you tap to scan a MEMO board into the free app (iOS and Android), on-device OCR reads your handwriting and makes it searchable text. You can tag and organize scans and search across all of them by keyword — the findability you'd get from a typed note, on something you wrote by hand. It stays private on your device, and it's entirely optional: most people use MEMO on paper and reach for the app only when a note's worth keeping.
MEMO holds up to 6 cards comfortably. The card slots feature RFID-blocking material to protect your contactless credit and debit cards from unauthorized scanning.
The pen attaches magnetically to MEMO, so it stays in place during everyday use. If you do need a replacement, you can order extra pens from our store. The pen is a standard 0.8mm whiteboard marker designed specifically for MEMO's surface.
We prepare your order in 1-2 working days. Delivery takes 8-10 days to the US, Europe, and Asia. Other destinations may take a bit longer. You'll receive a tracking number as soon as your order ships.
Absolutely! You have 14 days after receiving your MEMO to decide. If it's not for you, we'll guide you through a hassle-free return process. No hard feelings.
Yes! MEMO is designed for daily use. The whiteboard surface is made from high-quality material that withstands thousands of write-erase cycles. The outer casing is built to handle pocket carry, just like a premium wallet.
