Highlights​

• .NET 10 + Avalonia refresh: solution retargeted to .NET 10, Avalonia bumped to 11.3.13, DevTools migrated to AvaloniaUI.DiagnosticsSupport, and drag/drop + clipboard code updated for current APIs (DataTransfer, DoDragDropAsync, typed clipboard helpers).

• Assistant & orchestration: routing layer with a small manager model for JSON routing decisions, hardware tiering (GPU probes, snapshots, cache invalidation) feeding model selection and resource governance, skill routing with bundled skills (Application, Mindmap, Notes, Path), conversation memory (snapshots, summarization, tool dispatch scope), and simplified tool surface for more reliable tool calls. Mindmap and notes tools gained richer parameters (e.g. batch mindmap nodes, note search/sort/snippet options).

• Chat experience: streaming and reasoning/thought UI, collapsible chat history sidebar (7-day retention then pruned), copy and regenerate on assistant messages, Enter to send / Ctrl+Enter for newline, length control (short / normal / detailed) replacing older “general/explainer” modes, process tracking and tool-call visibility in the dataset layer, and GPU streaming options / reveal pacing in settings.

• Embeddings & knowledge: batch embeddings (single ONNX run for multiple texts), PDF text extraction (PdfPig) for ingestion, RAG ingest logging for completion and embedding failures, and optional chat dataset logging for exported turn records.

• Notes & clipboard: custom block clipboard preserving inline formatting (plain paste to other apps as markdown), paste markdown mapped into internal blocks/runs, branding asset refresh, and maintenance pass (quieter LlamaCpp debug output, binding/warning cleanup).

• Image blocks: new Image block type with path/alt/width metadata, markdown serialization, left/center/right alignment with tooltips and styles, rich-text captions, improved resize handle (inside image, drag ghosts, edge auto-scroll), and fixes for first-click on image chrome and caption hover/focus.

• Layout blocks: Two-column layouts with nested blocks and ColumnGroup-style structure, multi-line quote blocks, multi-line paste into columns with caret preserved across blocks, plus fixes for separator line, empty block visuals, and watermark remnants on rapid Enter.

• Editing & navigation: Shift+click range selection on drag handles, Ctrl+drag multi-block move, formatting keyboard shortcuts, full-block-area text drag-select (padding no longer dead zone), block spacing and + button alignment cleanup, flyout polish and duplicate note, and sidebar overhaul: drag reorder for notes and folders, double-click rename, and rename fixes.

Install

1. Download mnemo-alpha-preview-0.5.0-win-x64.zip
2. Extract the archive
3. Open Mnemo.exe

If you get an error on launch after AI setup or during AI inference, install the official Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable:
https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x64.exe

You can also use the VC_redist.x64.exe included below.

Warning: The link above is a direct download and will start automatically. Only click it if you intend to download the file.

Warning: We are still working on optimizing the AI and adding safeguards. The AI is currently unstable and may not work on low-end systems. It can also delete or alter your content. Use at your own risk.

What is Mnemo?​

Mnemo is a free, open source study app that keeps your learning in one place. You can write notes, build structured content, create mindmaps and learning paths, and now use flashcards too.

It also offers optional local AI if you want help without sending your notes to the cloud. The focus is on a calm experience, flexible setup, and respect for your data.

What’s new in 0.6.0​

Study with flashcards You can now practice with proper study sessions, scheduling options, and deck settings. Flashcards feel like a natural part of Mnemo.

Bring your work in and out easily Import and export notes, mindmaps, and flashcards using common formats. This includes Anki decks, simple CSV lists, and Mnemo’s own .mnemo format for backups or moving between devices.

Notes that are easier to work with Find and replace is now built in. Images behave more clearly, with better feedback when loading or when something goes wrong. Dragging images from your browser or files is smoother. Layout and drag and drop interactions have also been refined.

A more accurate overview Home and overview widgets now reflect how you actually use the app, instead of showing placeholder data.

AI remains optional and experimental Assistant features are turned off by default and clearly marked as experimental. They can still be rough, and we are improving reliability over time.

This release also includes many small fixes and visual improvements across menus, themes, spelling help, and general editing stability. A new Noon theme is included.

Getting started​

1. Download mnemo-alpha-preview-0.6.0-win-x64.zip
2. Unzip it anywhere
3. Run Mnemo.exe

If the app does not start or crashes on first run, installing the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable can help on Windows: https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x64.exe

About experimental AI If you enable it, treat it as early stage. Keep backups of important notes and review suggestions before relying on them.
