Companion to Mnemosyne Materia Medica
Mnemosyne Companion
A study companion for the 100 polycrest homoeopathic remedies — poetic pearls, keynotes and spaced-repetition drills, in a single offline app.
The book teaches the method; this is the practice bench. Mnemosyne, the Greek goddess of memory, lends her name to a tool built for recall — not re-reading.
Free & fully offline — nothing to install. The Android .apk is sideload-only (allow installs from unknown sources).

What it contains
Everything you need to make the picture stick
Each remedy carries its study layer — the pearl, the keynotes, the modalities and the differentials — and the app turns them into active recall instead of passive reading.
Spaced repetition
Flashcards in three modes, graded Again / Hard / Good / Easy on a Leitner schedule of 0, 1, 3, 7, 21 and 45 days. Cards reach mastery at the fifth box.
Progress you can see
Started, due-now and mastered counts, drawn as a progress ring. Stored only in your own browser — it never leaves your device.
Six study diagrams
The four-phase cycle, the forgetting curve, the principles of retention, the C and LM potency scales, the miasmatic tree and the memory palace — all hand-written inline SVG.
Protocol timer
A session timer that walks the encode → recall → integrate → master cycle, announcing each phase as it completes so you keep to the method.
Guide, themes & deep links
The method, a field guide to a remedy card, a posology note and the safety frame — plus light/dark themes and #remedies, #study, #diagrams, #guide deep links.
How it works
A method, not a pile of notes
The app follows the four-phase protocol in the book. You encode a remedy, recall it before you reveal, integrate it with its differentials, and let the schedule carry it to mastery.
I
Encode
Read the pearl and the keynotes. Say them aloud. The first pass builds the shape of the picture.
Day 1II
Recall
Drill in any of three modes. Recall before you reveal — the struggle is the point.
Day 2III
Integrate
Read the differentials and the modalities. Separate the remedy from its nearest competitors.
Day 7IV
Master
The schedule spaces the card out on its own. Keep returning; spacing beats massing.

Integrate7 minutes
Master1 minute
Grade honestly. Marking a card “Good” when it was a struggle is the fastest way to forget it. “Again” returns a card to the first box; “Easy” advances it by two.
A look inside

Questions
Frequently asked
Is this the whole book?
No. It is the companion app. It carries the study layer — pearls, keynotes, modalities, differentials and miasm groups — and adds spaced-repetition practice. The full clinical descriptions, memory hacks and case histories stay in the book.
Is it free?
The app is published for readers of the book. It is free to view and to use for your own personal study. It is not open source and not public domain — see the LICENSE.
Does it work without internet?
Completely. There are no network calls of any kind. Download the file and it runs anywhere.
Does it phone home or track me?
No. There is no server, no analytics, no account and no telemetry. Your progress is stored only in your own browser and never leaves your device.
How does the spaced-repetition schedule work?
Cards move through six boxes with intervals of 0, 1, 3, 7, 21 and 45 days. Grading “Again” returns a card to the first box; “Hard” drops it one; “Good” advances it one; “Easy” advances it two. Cards reach “mastered” at the fifth box.
Why do only some remedies show a miasm?
Because the book's Appendix B classifies 51 of the 100 remedies into miasmatic groups. The app shows a tag only where the book does, rather than inventing one.
Can I study just one remedy?
Yes. Open any remedy card and press Drill this remedy to run a single-card session.
Which browsers are supported?
Any current Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox, on desktop or mobile. No plugins required.
Is this medical advice?
No. It is a study aid. It does not diagnose, treat or prescribe, and it does not replace formal training, clinical judgement or emergency care. Read the full disclaimer.
Safety frame. A study aid only. In any acute emergency, call 108 (India) or your local emergency number. Where a case involves thoughts of suicide or a wish to die, it must never be managed alone — free 24×7 support in India is available from Tele-MANAS on 14416 or 1-800-891-4416.
