The short version
Remem is a local-first planner organised by place. Pins hold your words, recordings and photos. Itineraries bring your chosen stops together. Places keeps simple destinations, such as your hotel or home, ready to use again. Your computer gives you room to plan; your phone takes that work out with you.
Signed-out Home and List show bundled, immutable examples; creating a real pin requires sign-in. Signed-in Free covers your first five pins and keeps local capture working offline. A connection is only needed for online features, including Sync, map loading, place search, new routes, an online speech fallback and buying Premium.
Capture
Capture it in one tap
Tap the microphone and start talking. Nothing is listening until you press it, and the same button stops the recording and saves it. You have up to 60 seconds. A countdown appears in the last ten, and running to the end saves what you said rather than losing it. Prefer to keep quiet? Choose Type a note, enter your words and select Save.
Your phone's speech service turns your words into text. Depending on the device and language, recognition can work on the phone or use an online service. Remem saves the recording locally and encrypts it before Sync. It does not upload the saved file for transcription. You can correct the text afterwards.
Location
The place attaches itself
There is no extra place-adding step for a voice or typed capture. When location is on and available, Remem saves it automatically with the new pin and can show your position on the map. If it is off or unavailable, the note still saves without a location. You can also choose a specific point with Drop a pin on Map.
Turning coordinates into a place name starts with your phone’s own service. If that comes back empty, a signed-in Premium account can fall back to a remote lookup, which sends coordinates rounded to four decimal places to OpenCage through Remem's service. Recordings, photos and note text are not part of that address lookup. If an address isn't available, the pin can show a Plus Code or coordinates.
You can also name a place yourself. An address label (“Sam’s yard”, “back gate”, “the one with the blue door”) beats a street address you would never think to search for.
Keep the context
Make each pin easy to recognise
Remem reads the words you used and drops the pin into a category: Food & drink, Shopping, To collect, Report, Place of interest, or leaves it General when nothing clearly fits. This is a plain keyword rule, and you can change the category yourself.
Add what will make it useful later: a separate Notes field, and photos taken or chosen on the spot. Signed-in Free allows up to two photos per pin and Premium allows up to ten. Photos are copied into Remem’s private local storage on the device. Each one can carry its own note, and those photo notes stay private when you share. Choose one photo to represent the pin and it becomes the face of that pin on Home and in the List.
Save and Sync
Your work follows your account
After sign-in, every real pin is owned from creation by that exact Remem account and is written locally first, without waiting on a network. That is why capture works in a basement, a field or on a plane. Deleting is forgiving: you have five seconds to undo.
Sign in to the same Remem account on your computer and phone. Pins, itineraries and saved Places sync automatically for Free and Premium while Remem is open, in the foreground and connected. Open the phone app before you set out and let your latest changes arrive.
Find and navigate
Find it by place, or by the words you used
Map answers “what is around here”: your pins in context, a one-tap view that fits every pin on screen, and your own position when location is on. List answers “where was that”: search runs across transcripts and photo notes, category chips show how many pins sit behind each one, and the sort flips between Recent and Nearest whenever there is a fresh GPS fix.
Open a pin to play the recording back, fix the transcript, change the category, add notes or photos, or set off. Choose Navigate, preview a walking, cycling or car route, then select Start on your phone for spoken directions. You can also open the destination in another maps app.
Select several destinations to make a journey. Review the stops, choose their order and set where you'd like to finish. On the web, Open on phone provides a QR code or link to open the journey in Remem. Use the same account, choose a route on the phone and press Start.
Plan ahead
Tonight at home. Tomorrow in Rome.
Imagine an evening researching a visit to Rome. You've chosen a museum, a quiet square and somewhere for lunch. Sign in to Remem Web on your computer or tablet. Search for a place, or choose Drop a pin on Map. Select the spot, confirm the location, give the pin a heading and save it.
Open each pin to add what you want to remember: the entrance to use, the detail that caught your eye or a photo. Gather your stops into an itinerary. The next day, open Remem on your phone and let Sync bring the plan across. Your research is ready to use on the street.
Give the day a shape
In Pins, select the stops you want and choose Add to itinerary. Create an itinerary or choose one you've already made. Open it to rearrange the stops, see them on the map or select destinations for a journey.
Places is for simple destinations you want to keep handy, such as your hotel, the station or home. Choose a category, mark the point on the map and give it a name. Saved Places can join an itinerary alongside your pins. They keep a name and location; use a pin when you also want notes, photos or audio.
On the computer, Friendly print gives your itinerary a readable paper layout. Removing a stop from an itinerary leaves its original saved pin or Place in your collection.
What Free covers, and what Premium adds
Signed-in Free keeps five pins, archived included, with up to two photos per pin. The account’s pins stay fully usable (view, edit, share, delete): a whole pin, not a preview. When you reach five, the capture you have just made is held rather than binned: free a slot or upgrade, and it saves.
Premium removes the commercial pin limit, allows up to ten photos per pin, adds spreadsheet and map-file export, and drops the “Saved with Remem” label from shares. It uses the same Sync as Free. If Premium ends, existing pins and photos remain manageable and synchronised; only another admission follows the Free boundaries. One purchase covers Remem Web, Android and iOS under the same sign-in.
What signing in changes
Signed-out Home and List show bundled examples and cannot create a real pin. Signing in creates or reconnects an exact Remem account; every real pin belongs to that account from creation. It also links eligible Premium access to that identity, but signing in alone does not charge you or grant Premium. Account collections never merge.
Signed-in Free and Premium use the same local-first encrypted Sync. Eligible account-owned changes are encrypted before upload and synchronised while Remem is open, in the foreground and connected. Use the same Remem account on the phone app and on Remem Web and both read that account's collection, so a pin captured on the phone is waiting for you in the browser. Sync is not a guaranteed backup, version-history or recovery service.
You can browse Premium plans before signing in. Sign in to buy; choosing a plan does not start a charge. Review the current price and confirm the purchase in the checkout that opens.
Remem Web uses a secure hosted checkout. On Android and iOS, the purchase uses the relevant phone store. Signing in alone never starts either checkout.
One eligible Premium purchase works in Remem Web and the phone apps after it is linked to a Remem account. Use the same Remem sign-in on web, Android and iOS; you do not buy Premium again in the phone app.
Choose email and enter the one-time code sent to your inbox. You can also choose an available sign-in provider shown on the sign-in screen. Use the same Remem account on each device.
In your language, in your formats
Remem runs in English, German, Spanish, French and Japanese. Dates, times and numbers follow the region you choose, independently of the language, so you can read the app in English and still see 19/08/2026 and a 24-hour clock.
