About

Built for the memories that matter.

Mnevra is a personal memory companion — an app that quietly keeps track of your life, and hands it back to you when it matters.

Why we built it

Memory is quietly failing all of us.

We forget the names of people we've just met. The thread of a story we promised ourselves we'd write down. The year our kid lost a tooth. The café in Lisbon. The name of the doctor who was actually good.

The tools that exist — notes apps, journals, CRMs — all ask us to be more organised than we actually are. They assume we'll come back to file things. We don't. So our lives stay scattered across thousands of fragments that no human could hold in one head, and no piece of software currently tries to.

Mnevra is a different answer. You just talk. It listens, notices the people and places and moments, puts them where they belong, and hands them back when you need them. The job of remembering stops being yours.

Your life, remembered. Every person, moment, and detail — connected and always at hand.

Built by

I built it for myself, first.

Mnevra started as a selfish project. Three daughters, a company, a health thing I'd rather not dwell on, and the slow realisation that I was outsourcing huge chunks of my own life to Slack threads and half-written notes I'd never look at again. The people I'd meant to call. The conversations I'd meant to follow up on. The small details that turn strangers into friends.

I tried the usual answers — a better notes app, a CRM I'd bully myself into filling in, a journal I'd keep for a week — and each one quietly joined the pile. The problem wasn't that I needed more discipline. It was that remembering my own life shouldn't feel like a second job.

So I built the thing I actually wanted: something I could just talk to, that would notice the people and places and moments, and hand them back later without me having to file anything.

Across three Spaces — personal, health and work — plus 160 conversations and a handful of goals and reminders I'd otherwise have let slip.

Mnevra is built at Molehill, a small New Zealand studio that tries to make the difficult things — starting a company, keeping a life together — feel a little less like mountains.

Who it's for

Three kinds of people find us.

The busy adult

People 30–60 with full professional and personal lives, who want to be more present with the people around them and feel their memory slipping.

The memoir writer

Anyone documenting their life — for themselves, for family, or to publish. Mnevra gives you the raw material and helps you shape it.

The memory-keeper

Older adults, or anyone caring for one, who want a gentle, private record of a life as cognition changes. Something a family can hold on to.

FAQ

Questions we hear a lot.

Is Mnevra a journal?
Not really. A journal is a place you write to yourself. Mnevra is a place you talk, and it listens — extracting the people, places and moments you mention and weaving them into a connected graph of your life. You can still journal in it if you want to, but most people use it like a conversation.
What happens to my data?
It stays yours. We don't train AI models on it, we don't sell it, and we don't share it. You can export it whenever you want, and delete it whenever you want. Our privacy page has the detail.
Which AI does it use?
Mnevra runs on Anthropic's Claude models by default. For realtime voice, it uses OpenAI. You can also bring your own API keys for either provider if you prefer your prompts go through your own account.
What platforms do you support?
iPhone and Mac are shipping today, sharing one account and one graph. iPad and Apple Watch are next. Android and a proper web client are on the roadmap, but we're focusing on making Mnevra excellent on Apple platforms before we spread.
How much will it cost?
We haven't finalised pricing. The working plan is a simple monthly subscription, with a bring-your-own-key option that reduces the cost because you're handling AI billing directly.
What happens if you shut down?
You can export everything Mnevra holds about you at any time, in structured, portable form. If we ever had to shut down, we'd give users plenty of notice and an export window. Your memory graph is always yours.
Is it safe for sensitive topics?
Yes. You can mark any memory as private — it stays in your graph but is excluded from biography exports and any data export. You can also create a separate Space for anything you want to keep further isolated, like health or therapy notes.

The name

Why Mnevra.

Mnevra (Menrva, to the Etruscans) was the goddess of wisdom, memory, and the crafts — the keeper of what's worth remembering. She's the same figure the Romans later renamed Minerva, but we liked the older version.

It felt like the right name for a thing whose only job is to help you keep hold of the details of your own life.
