GETTING STARTED WITH MEMTREVE
Your memories are already out there.
Let’s bring them together.
You don't need to reorganize your life. Start with one photo, note, or file worth remembering. MEMTREVE gives it a place to live—and a way back when you need it.

FOUR EASY STEPS
Start with something you know.
The best introduction isn't a tutorial full of buttons. It starts with a blank canvas, then one familiar item—and the moment you realize how easily you can find it again.
02 / CAPTURE
Add your first memory.
Drag in a photograph, PDF, note, or another item that means something to you.
03 / RECALL
Search your way.
Look for a title, name, phrase, or detail you remember. Start with the association, not a folder.
04 / CONNECT
Build the bigger picture.
Add something related: another photograph, a document, or a note with useful context. Let your collection become more meaningful over time.
FIRST LOOK
Start with a blank canvas.
This is how MEMTREVE begins: calm, clear, and ready for the first thing you want to keep. No clutter. No setup ritual. Just a place to begin.
That first blank screen is part of the story. It shows exactly what a new user sees before the first memory arrives.
YOUR FIRST MOMENT
Begin with a real piece of your life.
A picture from a trip. A saved document. A note you don't want to lose. There's no special starting format and no elaborate filing system to build.
Start small. Keep adding what matters.
THE MOMENT IT CLICKS
Find it from what you remember.
You might recall a place but not a filename, or a name but not where you saved the document. Use whatever clue comes to mind.
That's the idea behind MEMTREVE: your brain makes associations, and MEMTREVE makes those associations retrievable.
A TWO-MINUTE EXPERIMENT
Try it with something real.
Choose a photo from a day you remember. This small exercise shows why the story around a memory can be just as valuable as the file itself.
01 / CHOOSEFind a photograph from a trip, a celebration, or an ordinary day that mattered.
02 / REMEMBERAdd it to MEMTREVE, then add a note describing a detail from that day.
03 / REDISCOVERTry finding the memory again using that detail or a phrase you associate with it.
MORE THAN A FILE
One memory can lead to another.
Open a photograph and see the other pieces of its story. A note about the day, a related document, or another image can help bring the context back.
This is the point of MEMTREVE: keeping the connections alongside the things themselves.
GOOD TO KNOW
A few things before you begin.
Do I need to organize everything first?
No. You can start with a single item and build from there. MEMTREVE is designed around finding what you remember, not requiring you to create a complex folder system.
What happens to my original files?
MEMTREVE keeps managed copies of material you add. Your source files aren't meant to be altered just because you bring them into your collection. For detailed handling and supported formats, see the User Manual.
Can I capture things on my iPhone?
Yes. MEMTREVE Mobile Pro is the free iPhone companion for capturing material on the go and bringing it into MEMTREVE on your Mac. See the Mobile Pro overview.
What if I need MEMTREVE Professional?
Start with the free Mac app. Professional features can be unlocked inside MEMTREVE with a one-time purchase when you need them—no separate Mac download or subscription.

Not the folder.
