features

mental notes

Mental notes are very similar to traditional flash cards. You can add a small amount of text, an image, and/or some audio to each mental note, and optionally include a prompt or question.

repetitive learning

Mental notes get scheduled for future revision in a lesson. Mental Case uses an optimized algorithm to ensure that you get maximum memory retention for the time you spend studying.

sharing and syncing

You can sync directly with Mental Case for iPhone or iPad over a wifi network, or export mental notes to transfer them to a classic iPod, upload to the web, or share with others.

organize your notes

You can group your mental notes together in mental cases, which are like folders in the Finder. Drag-and-drop your notes from one case to another, or review an entire case in a slide show.

quick entry

Mental Case includes quick note entry, which allows you to create new notes at any time using hot keys or a global menu, whether you are working in Mental Case or not.

capture from screen or isight

Sometimes the information you want to put in your mental notes is already on your screen, or in a book. Don't bother typing it over, just use the built in screen capture facilities, or take a photo with your iSight.

themed slide shows

Lessons are presented in themed slide shows with attractive transitions, making learning less of a chore. You can choose the themes and transitions yourself.

preferences

Mental Case includes an advanced system of preferences for controlling how often notes are scheduled to appear in a lesson, and how long they are displayed in slide shows.
