Plain Text Editor - Efficiently save your thoughts on Memonic
As a Memonic user you always had the possibility of composing your own Items and use our tool as text editor, brain dump, shopping list creator or more. In order that you're able to save your thoughts and ideas more efficiently, we added a plain text editor that allows you to simply write text. Not more, not less. Compose a new Item in your account and switch between the Rich Formatting and Plain Text editors at any time. Your preference will be stored for the next use.

When converting from Rich Formatting to Plain Text, you will lose the images and text styles but we're trying the best to keep some reasonable formatting, such as lists.
Searching all languages
We added support for searching in all kind of languages with non latin character sets, such as Chinese, Arabic, Vietnamese, Hebrew or others. We hope that this improves the use of Memonic in your favourite language. If you encounter problems, don't hesitate to contact us.

Smaller Improvements and Bugfixes
For more information on further features and bugfixes check the release notes.
At Memonic we use a lot of Amazon's cloud services. I talked about our experiences with those at yesterday's Cloud Suisse conference in Zürich, Switzerland. The presentation (PDF, 1MB) is in German, but most of the information is in the graphics anyway.
I also created a Memonic Set for this presentation with some background material and additional links.
Thanks to the Cloud Suisse committee for organizing the interesting conference!
Today we rolled out two new features on Memonic.
Badge
With the badge you embed a Memonic Set into any web page. There are many potential uses for that. Just a few examples:
- Insert it to the right column of your blog so that visitors to your blog see what you're currently researching.
- Combine background material to a blog post in a Set and insert a badge for that Set into the blog post.
- Add your Web development Set to your company Wiki for easy access by your colleagues.
We're sure you have many more ideas on how to use this.
To create a badge, use the context menu of a Set and then use the option "Embed into webpage".
The badge will only display public items. So make sure you use the toolbar drop-down "Permissions..." to change the permissions of your Items to public.
Premium subscriptions
Free accounts now have limits. If you want to use Memonic to the full potential, you'll need to purchase a Memonic Premium subscription. We currently offer an introductory price of €29 Euros. Students profit from an additional €10 Euros discount.
Finally - File Attachments!
Until today Memonic had great tools to save parts of any web page. Now you can also store normal documents. So you can for example clip the flight plan you're booking and then attach the booking confirmation they send you as a PDF document.
You can create Items with attachments in two ways. Either open an existing Item and attach files or send us your information by email.
An all new Hompage
Additionally we redesigned the homepage to make it easier for new users to understand what Memonic is about.
As always you find all the details of this release in our release notes.
The new release of our iPhone client got approved today. This release fixes some bugs that users were seeing especially issues with synchronisation.
We're also working on some new features, so stay tuned and let us surprise you.
We just released a new version of Memonic with quite some improvements and bug fixes. The two biggest changes are the new Gravatar integration and a completely reworked web clipper.
Gravatar
We now use Gravatar on collections so that you can more easily recognize which collection you're currently viewing.
Web Clipper
The web clipper got a complete redesign and is now a lot nicer on the eye. Also the options are persistent, so you won't have to assign the Set and permissions every single time.

All details as always in our full release notes.
Oggi un annuncio per i nostri amici italiani: Memonic è disponibile da oggi in italiano! (Unica eccezione: l'aiuto e le pagine “chi siamo” devono essere ancora tradotti).
More languages are following. And in case your language isn't available yet get in touch with us: We could need a little help translating Memonic to yet more languages.
(Full release notes)
Yesterday (January 23rd) our company just turned 1. Happy birthday Memonic!

For the occasion we went up the Uetliberg for a nice breakfast with partner and kids.

As always we appreciate your feedback!
Today Johnny Memonic shares with us a part of his adventurous life, that is his collection of his recent trip to Australia. He did a little roadtrip along the Great Ocean Road. Here his pointers for places to see and places to stay on this marvelous road.
