Mental Case 1.0 Combines Flash Cards, Personal Database - Shareware Beat

631
prMac - MacCoreMac Software has announced the final release of Mental Case 1.0. Mental Case includes a unique mix of flash card, personal database, and note taking functionality, and uses spaced-repetition learning techniques to help you remember things.

Do you ever take notes in your head? "Note to self: http://www.kinkless.com is a web site for personal productivity" or "Note to self: 'tomorrow' only has one 'm'". These mental notes are very useful, at least when you remember them.

That's where Mental Case can help. Mental Case is many things — a drop box for your thoughts; RSS for your head; a catalog of knowledge — but ultimately, it's just a fun way to remember stuff. And 'stuff' can be anything, from your new mobile phone number to the Presidents of the United States. Mental Case can even help you remember to stick to a diet.

To use Mental Case, you enter tidbits of information ˜ known in the application as 'mental notes' ˜ comprised of text and images. You can also use the built-in screen shot functionality and iSight capture to avoid retyping information already on your screen or in a book. Mental Case uses an optimized learning algorithm to schedule these mental notes for future revision. When you have a few moments, you view the scheduled notes in a slideshow.

Mental Case has been designed to combat the rise of information overload in modern life. With so much information bombarding us each day, it is no longer about what you know, but where you know to find out more. This could be called Œknow-where', because you know about the existence of something and where to find the details. For example, Mental Case can help you remember about the existence of a book, web site, or particular technique so that you know where to find out more later. Knowing what to search for is 99% of the battle.

Mental Case 1.0 is available immediately from the MacCoreMac web site:
http://mentalcase.maccoremac.com.

It costs $29, but there is a 30-day fully-functional trial.

Mental Case is a universal binary, and requires Mac OS X 10.4 or later
