Pro Tips
1. Use Subject Templates
Set up subject templates like "[Shopping]", "[Idea]", "[TODO]" for easy email filtering and auto-sorting on the receiving end.
2. Set Up Notification Filters
Set up email rules to route Simple Memo messages to a specific folder, keeping your notifications organized and manageable.
3. Siri Shortcut Integration
Combine with Siri Shortcuts to launch the app with "Hey Siri, memo". Go hands-free for even faster note-taking.
What NOT to Do
- Don't use it as a notebook — Simple Memo is designed for "send and forget." It's not meant for long drafts or editing. The trick is to fire off a thought the moment it hits you.
- Don't delay sending — Send your memo right after writing it. If you think "I'll send it later," you risk forgetting. Write it, tap send, done.
