YAMemo Support

A simple notepad that keeps your notes sorted into categories

How to use

Create a category: Tap the “+” at the right end of the tab bar at the top of the screen, type a name, and tap Add.
Rename, reorder or delete a category: Long-press a tab to open the edit dialog, where you can change its name, move it with the position slider, or delete it. Deleting a category also deletes every memo inside it.
Write a memo: Tap the “+” button at the bottom right and start typing. Your text is saved automatically; the check button at the top right saves it as well.
Move a memo to another category: Open the memo and tap the category name shown at the top of the screen, then pick the category you want.
Delete a memo: Swipe the memo from right to left in the list, then confirm in the dialog.
Open the menu: The menu at the top left of the list screen gives you access to Backup and License, and shows the app version.

Open the menu and tap Backup.

Create a backup: Tap Create Backup. A JSON file (yamemo_backup_<timestamp>.json) is created and the share sheet opens. Save it somewhere you can get it back from later — the Files app, Google Drive, an email draft, and so on.
Restore from a backup: Tap Restore from Backup and choose the JSON file you saved earlier.

Please note: restoring overwrites every memo and category currently in the app. We recommend backing up your current data first, just in case.

Where are my memos stored?: Only on your device. Memo contents are never sent to a server, and the app has no cloud sync or account sign-up.
How do I move my memos to a new device?: Create a backup on the old device, transfer the file to the new one, and restore it there. The app cannot sync the same memos across devices automatically.
What happens to my memos if I delete the app?: They are deleted along with the app’s data on your device, and there is no way to recover them. Always create a backup before deleting the app.
What about ads?: A banner ad is shown at the bottom of the list screen. There is currently no paid option to remove ads.
Which languages are supported?: English and Japanese. The app follows your device’s language setting.
Where can I see the open-source licenses?: Open the menu and tap License.
