About HashMemo
What is HashMemo?
HashMemo is an app for building a habit of thoughtful reflection. You read short insights, reflect on questions, and put your own thoughts into words.
Each day, small pieces of knowledge and questions invite you to respond in your own words. Your thoughts are saved as records you can revisit later.
Through this steady practice, you gradually build the ability to think, put your thoughts into words, and understand yourself.
HashMemo is not just a memo app. It is not just a diary app or a learning app either.
It is a place to put your thoughts into words, sparked by small insights and questions.
A New Habit for Thoughtful Reflection
"What did I notice today?" "What do I think about this theme?" "Why do I think that way?"
In HashMemo, you encounter many themes and put your daily experiences, discoveries, emotions, and insights into your own words.
There is no single correct answer.
What matters is not finding the right answer, but asking yourself, “What do I think?”
How Thinking Grows
Each HashMemo prompt is a small reflection activity that follows this flow:
1. Short Insight
This is where you encounter a short insight or perspective related to the theme.
2. Question
A question helps you deepen your thinking based on the short insight.
3. Response
Put your thoughts and discoveries into words as your response to the question.
4. Hassy’s Hint
When your thoughts feel unclear, or when you want to go a little deeper, you can use “Hassy’s hint” to get a small prompt for organizing your thoughts.
Knowledge does not become your own just by reading it. When you connect it with your own experiences and emotions, and put it into words, it gradually becomes part of your own thinking.
HashMemo is designed to help you repeat that process naturally in everyday life.
Skills You Can Develop with HashMemo
Through reflection prompts across a wide range of themes, HashMemo helps you develop skills like these:
- Understanding — grasping the meaning and context behind things
- Thinking — reflecting on questions and forming your own answers
- Self-expression — putting your thoughts into your own words
- Understanding others — imagining other people’s perspectives, emotions, and ways of seeing the world
- Action — connecting your thoughts to action in daily life and work
- Self-understanding — noticing your values, emotions, and patterns in your choices
HashMemo does not build these skills overnight. Instead, it helps you strengthen your thinking little by little as you reflect on small questions each day.
About Themes
HashMemo covers a wide range of themes, including:
- Work & Career
- Relationships
- Money
- Learning
- Health
- News & Society
- AI & Technology
- Branding
Rather than limiting itself to a single subject or genre, HashMemo values crossing everyday life, work, society, emotions, and learning to help you broaden your perspective.
Thinking about one theme can sometimes lead to an insight in another. HashMemo values these small connections as you grow your own way of thinking.
HashMemo and Liberal Arts
HashMemo is an app that makes liberal arts more accessible as part of everyday life. Liberal arts is not about learning only one specialized field. It is about building a foundation for thinking from many angles, across the humanities, society, science, philosophy, art, and more.
In the same way, HashMemo helps you broaden your perspective and deepen your thinking through short insights and questions across a wide range of themes.
HashMemo is not a difficult lecture-style app. Instead, it lets you experience the breadth of liberal-arts-style thinking in a more casual, everyday way by responding to prompts.
Hassy and Hashina
HashMemo features Hassy and Hashina, two characters who support your thinking.
Hassy is a gentle guide who helps you organize your thoughts little by little. When you are not sure what to write, or when you want to think a little more deeply, Hassy supports you reflection.
Hashina offers short insights and gentle cues for thinking from a calm perspective. As you enter each theme, she helps you encounter new knowledge and see things from a slightly different point of view.
Neither Hassy nor Hashina is here to give you the right answer. They are here to gently support you as you notice, think, and put your thoughts into words.
What HashMemo Values
HashMemo values having your own thinking—not guessing the right answer.
In the age of AI, finding information and getting answers will become easier and easier. What will matter more than ever is:
- what you notice
- how you think
- how you express yourself
- how you connect your thoughts to action
Those abilities.
HashMemo is not an app that lets AI think for you. It is an app that helps you find, organize, and grow your own thinking with support from AI.
Origin of the Name HashMemo
The name HashMemo is inspired by hash browns.
Shredded potatoes do not hold together on their own. But when they are gathered and given time, they begin to take shape.
Daily thoughts and feelings are similar. They can be fragmented, scattered, and sometimes contradictory.
The name HashMemo carries the idea of keeping those fragments of thought, layering them over time, and later shaping them into something of your own.
Meaning Behind the Logo
The HashMemo logo is based on the shape of the letter "H".
It also represents:
- Bridge (Hashi): connecting one thought to another
- Ladder (Hashigo): moving from one insight to the next thought
- Repetition (Hanpuku): the practice of returning to your thoughts
It symbolizes not a finished answer, but the process of continuing to reflect.
Our Vision
HashMemo is an app for building the habit of putting your thoughts into words and navigating your life in your own way.
We aim to make thinking feel more familiar and easier to continue as a daily habit.
The prompts you encounter each day can become chances to understand yourself, see society from a new angle, and think about choices in your work and life.
HashMemo is a place where knowledge does not end with reading, but becomes thoughts you can put into your own words.
