About us

Memtain was built out of my (Martin Schnell) personal need. I read a lot of blogs and web articles each day, yet - as a non-genius and normal brain like anyone else - I felt like I forget about 80% of the things again after some days or weeks at best. What a waste of time! Most people know that feeling themselves: "Gosh, I knew that once...what was it again? It lies on my tongue..." So I stumbled around the web, searching for methodologies to remember the things I like to maintain in my memory. What I liked best was the theory of spaced repetition. It seemed logical and congruent to me. So when I stumbled over articles I wanted to remember, I saved them as bookmarks and reviewed them later again. But what a mess this would cause in my bookmarks! And still I could not track properly when I reviewed certain information pieces the last time. And it consumes much time to re-read a whole article again, although sometimes it is only one or two pieces of information that I was interested in. This was not perfect yet and out of this came Memtain (which is an art word of "memory" and "memtain") which had one goal: make saving of information as easy and versatile as possible and handle as much of the spaced repetition mechanics as possible. Me as a user should only be busy with the learning part and not be bothered by the rest. For me it works great up to now and I hope Memtain will be helpful for you, too!
