Your existing GitHub notebook
Passage search, on your device
Read-only, by design
01 / The idea
You already did
the thinking.
Take it with you.
The architecture decision. The command you always forget. The explanation you wrote so you wouldn’t have to work it out twice.
Mementara gives your existing Markdown notebook a home on your phone. Keep writing in your favorite editor, keep your files in GitHub, and reach for them wherever you are.
Fits the way you already work02 / Less hunting. More finding.
Remember a word.
Find the passage.
You know you wrote it down. Search the words you remember and see the matching section, with enough context to recognize it.
Open right at the passage. Follow a link. Bookmark it for next time. Your downloaded notes and search index stay available without a connection.
Your search happens on your device.
INSIDE THE SAMPLE NOTEBOOK

Welcome.md A notebook that travels
There it is.
A compass is useful even when the network disappears. Your downloaded notes work the same way.Read the sample passage
An excerpt from the included notebook. Your words, in context.
03 / A reader that gets your notes
The details
come along, too.
Built for the links, diagrams, and reference material that make a technical notebook useful.
Keep the full picture.
Read Mermaid diagrams, math, code, and tables. Open cached images and PDFs. Other diagram tools can bring an exported SVG or PNG along.
What’s supportedMake room for focus.
On iPad, keep the library beside your document, navigate its contents, or tuck everything away for focused reading. A wider layout gives technical notes more space.
04 / Same notebook. A new way to reach it.
Keep your workflow.
Add a pocket.
- 01
Write where you like.
Obsidian, your code editor, or any Markdown editor. Your repository remains the home for your notes.
- 02
Bring a notebook.
Connect GitHub with read access. Choose a repository, branch, and optional folder. Download your notebook.
- 03
Head out. Stay curious.
Read and search downloaded notes offline. Refresh when you’re online to pick up what you’ve changed.
A reader you can trust with the original.
Mementara’s reader has no editing, commit, or push capability. Bookmarks and reading positions stay local. Note contents travel directly from GitHub to your device.
A few things to know
Before you
pack your notes.
Can I download Mementara yet?
Mementara is in development. The first reader is implemented for iPhone and iPad, but a public App Store or TestFlight release is not available yet. Release testing and production setup are still in progress.
You can explore the public sample notebook today. If you already have access to the development build, choose “Explore the sample vault” to try it without an account.
Does this replace Obsidian?
Mementara is a reading companion for Markdown files stored in GitHub. Keep using Obsidian or another editor to write. Familiar wikilinks and supported embeds work, but Obsidian plugins, Dataview, and interactive Canvas do not run in Mementara.
What exactly works offline?
Downloaded note text and passage search work offline. Eligible images, exported previews, and PDFs work once downloaded. The app distinguishes notes that are ready from media still pending.
Remote images do not load automatically. External links, uncached attachments, and GitHub refreshes need a connection. Check download coverage before heading offline.
Can it change my repository?
The Phase 1 reader requests read access and has no edit, commit, or push API. Bookmarks and reading positions are stored on your device, not written to GitHub.
What’s included in the first version?
One GitHub.com account and one active notebook, local passage search, linked notes, bookmarks, supported media, and an adaptive iPad reader. Requires iOS 18 or later.
Multiple active notebooks, editing, AI, Android, and GitHub Enterprise Server are outside the first version. Pricing and public release timing have not been announced.
A little less searching.A little more knowing.

might be your own notes.
