Desktop-first design memory

Turn design files into searchable memory.

Memoran helps product and design teams turn selected design file links into a searchable local library of pages, frames, thumbnails, and design states.

Memoran Desktop 0.1.4 for Apple Silicon Macs. The app is not notarized yet, so macOS may ask for manual approval on first launch.

01

Connect your design account

Works with the Figma platform through user-authorized API access. Paste a file link and choose exactly which pages should be indexed.

02

Store locally

The desktop app saves file, page, frame, and thumbnail metadata on your computer.

03

Sync later

The next step is a web layer that syncs with your local Memoran library for remote access and sharing.

Test Build

Install Memoran on another Mac

This build is intended for early testing of the desktop-first indexing flow by design file link before the web sync layer is connected.
