Method of Loci · reborn for the modern mind

Remember everythingyou actually want to

Not another memory game. The Method of Loci as a complete workshop — palaces, mnemonics, your AI, and spaced practice for the knowledge you actually want to keep.

The Method of Loci

Walk a place you know. Place what you want to remember.

A technique used by Greek orators, Roman senators, and modern memory champions. The brain doesn't forget places — so we use them as filing cabinets for everything else.

01

Pick a familiar place

Your apartment. Your commute. A city you love. Anywhere you can walk in your mind without looking at a map.

02

Place vivid images at loci

Turn each fact into a person, an action, an object. Put it at a specific spot — the front door, the kitchen sink, the bookshelf.

03

Walk the journey to recall

Mentally retrace your steps. Each location returns what you placed there. Hours of speeches, whole books, entire decks of cards.

A method that outlived empires.

Greek orators used it to deliver hours-long speeches without a note. Cicero credited it to Simonides of Ceos, who reconstructed the seating plan of a collapsed banquet hall to identify the dead. Renaissance scholars built palaces large enough to hold their libraries.

“Places are chosen, and marked with the utmost possible variety — a spacious house divided into many rooms. Everything of note is then committed to its proper place.”
— Quintilian · Institutio Oratoria · c. 95 CE
Your palaces

2D maps. 3D worlds. Even VR.

Build palaces from places you already know — or step into ones we built for you when you run out.

2D

Map your own places

Sketch a floor plan of your apartment, your office, a favorite walk. Drop loci, draw the journey, group rooms into zones.

3D

Explore prebuilt worlds

Need a new space? Walk into a curated 3D environment. A new palace, ready to populate, in seconds.

VR

Step inside

Put on a headset and visit your palaces in immersive VR. Remembering becomes a place you actually go.

Real learning, not games

This isn't another memory app.

Most memory apps train you to do tricks with cards. Nemonicon is built for the knowledge you actually want to keep — languages, anatomy, law, history, your craft.

A full nested outliner organizes any subject. Outline items snap onto loci in your palaces. Spaced repetition (SM-2) makes sure none of it slips away.

Bring your AI

Your AI, working inside your palaces.

Connect Claude, GPT, or any MCP-compatible model. Bring your own keys. Your data stays yours.

Research & build

Fill your knowledge base, fast

Ask your AI to research a topic, draft an outline, suggest a palace layout, or design a journey. It works directly inside your workshop.

MCP integration

Personalized mnemonics on demand

Through MCP, your AI sees your palaces, loci, and existing PAO/Major entries — and crafts vivid mnemonics tailored to the exact spots where you'll place them.

Community

Stand on others' shoulders.

Discover palaces and knowledge topics shared by the community. Install them with a click — the entire outline and structure forks into your account. Publish your own when you're ready to give back.
