Combining Content Types

Memoreru truly shines when you combine multiple content types together.

Example 1: Project Management

📁 Project A (Folder) ├─ 📄 Project Overview (Page) ├─ 📊 Task Management (Table) ├─ 📋 Incomplete Tasks (View) ├─ 📈 Progress Chart (Graph) └─ 📊 Dashboard (Dashboard)

Example 2: Learning Management

📁 Programming Studies (Folder) ├─ 📄 Study Notes (Page) ├─ 📊 Study Log (Table) ├─ 📋 This Week's Study Plan (View) └─ 📈 Study Hours Over Time (Graph)

Example 3: Research Management

📁 Research Project (Folder) ├─ 📄 Research Proposal (Page) ├─ 📊 Literature Management (Table) ├─ 📊 Experiment Data (Table) ├─ 📋 Unread Papers (View) └─ 📈 Experiment Results Chart (Graph)

Giving Content an Icon

Any content type can have an icon shown next to its title.
This makes it easier to spot "this one is my budget" or "this one is my diary" at a glance in lists and the sidebar.
You can choose either an emoji or an image for the icon (not both at once).

  1. On the create or edit screen, use the "Emoji" / "Image" toggle above the icon slot to choose which one to use
  2. If you choose "Emoji": click the icon slot to open the emoji palette and pick any emoji
  3. If you choose "Image": click the icon slot to open a file picker, then crop the chosen image to a square
  4. To switch to a different icon, repeat the same steps and it replaces the previous one
  5. To remove the icon, click the "×" that appears at the top-right of the icon slot

You can also type a name in the palette's search box to find an emoji.


Choosing Your Own Sharing URL Suffix (Paid Plan)

For PUBLIC content, you can replace the auto-generated string at the end of the sharing URL with one of your choosing.
For example, instead of a long auto-generated string you can use something memorable like my-blog-2026, which is easier to share by voice or message.

  1. Open the "Sharing URL suffix" field on the content's edit screen
  2. Type the string you'd like, using letters, numbers, and hyphens
  3. If that suffix is already in use, you'll be asked to try a different one when you save
  4. Once saved, the sharing URL reflects your new suffix

Things to keep in mind:

  • This feature is available on paid plans. Free-plan users continue to use the auto-generated URL
  • Changing the suffix breaks the previous URL. Anyone you have already shared the old URL with needs to be sent the new one

Content Visibility

All content types support three visibility levels:

  • PRIVATE: Only you can view it
  • TEAM: All team members can view it
  • PUBLIC: Published on the internet
