Your notebook.
Close to you.
The core reading flow is straightforward: your device downloads your selected GitHub notebook and searches it locally.
Your files stay yours.
Mementara requests repository contents directly from GitHub and stores an offline copy in the app’s private container. Note bodies do not pass through the Mementara authentication service. The reader does not edit source files, make commits, or push to your repository.
Sign-in has a separate job.
The authentication service handles GitHub sign-in and device-session credentials. It encrypts provider credentials at rest and stores hashes of session and redemption secrets. It does not fetch or store repository note contents. The current development server collects no request logs or analytics.
Reading and searching happen locally.
The app collects no note contents, search queries, repository paths, attachment URLs, or credentials in telemetry. It includes no third-party analytics SDK. External images do not load automatically. Tapping an external link opens it in the system browser, where that site’s own privacy practices apply.
Protected by your device.
Cached files use iOS data protection and are excluded from iCloud backup. Credentials use device-only Keychain storage. This describes operating-system protection; it is not a claim of independent app-level encryption or end-to-end encryption from GitHub.
Remove the local copy when you want.
Use “Remove local data” in Settings to clear downloaded notes and media, the search index, bookmarks, reading positions, and credentials. The app also attempts to invalidate its authentication-service session.
Local removal works even when the service is unreachable. Revoking the GitHub authorization or uninstalling the GitHub App is a separate action in your GitHub account. A device that is offline cannot learn about a remote revocation until it reconnects.
