Getting started

Audience: anyone using Mnemo to study.

What Mnemo is

Mnemo is a desktop study app: rich notes, structured learning paths, mind maps, spaced-repetition flashcards, and AI-assisted workflows tied to your library. Everything hangs off one main window so you move between modes without juggling separate apps.

The main window at a glance

Think of the UI as three bands:

AreaRole
Left sidebarJump between major areas (library features, settings, etc.).
Top barGlobal actions (search, account-like controls depending on version).
Center workspaceThe active feature: notes editor, path detail, mind map, deck, chat, etc.
Right sidebar (when open)Context panels—assistant, tools, or feature-specific inspectors.

Optional: add a labeled screenshot after you capture it:
