Describe a task and a schedule in plain language; Memo turns it into a routine that fires on schedule as a simple prompt or a full tool-using agent run.
Create from chat, not just the Routines tab: ask for a routine in plain language from a normal chat, or from the WhatsApp/Telegram self-chat assistant, and the create_routine/list_routines/cancel_routine agent tools handle it — no need to open the dedicated Routines screen.
A routine always has full agent + web-search tool access when it fires, regardless of how it was created — an earlier bug tied that access to a one-shot classification made at creation time, so it could silently "turn off" later; fixed to be unconditional.
Works on desktop and mobile — on a phone, reminders are scheduled with the OS itself, so they arrive even if the app isn't open.
Fires in your own device's timezone (captured at creation, resynced on every reconnect), so travel/DST corrects itself instead of staying frozen.
Proactive Learning & Ambient Nudges
Memo notices usage patterns (a stated habit, or something you tend to do at a certain time) and can bring it up on its own — on by default at a subtle level.
A directly-stated habit ("I code every night around 9") is trusted immediately; a passively-observed pattern needs to show up statistically first.
A nudge can appear woven into a normal reply, or as a desktop suggestion banner (Yes / Not now / Stop asking).
Fully disabled in Incognito mode, and under Minimal Mode unless specifically re-enabled.
Self-Insight (/insight)
Ask directly, or let a weekly Routine ask, and Memo looks back over recent mood/memory history for a real pattern — explicitly instructed not to invent one if there isn't enough signal.
Minimal Mode (Settings → General)
Strips personality/mood/web-search instructions from every prompt for people who want their local model running with as little overhead as possible; with memory also off, nothing extra is added beyond the typed message.
Persona/system-prompt, capability disclosures, passive-feature disclosures, and proactive learning can each be independently re-enabled even while Minimal Mode is otherwise on.
Memo's Own Identity
Asking who built Memo, what it's for, or what it stands for now gets a real, grounded answer instead of a guess — this only surfaces when asked, and doesn't change day-to-day behavior or depend on which persona was picked.
