Mental Case for Mac OS X makes organizing your mental notes a snap. Gather them together in a ?case?, the Mental Case equivalent of an iTunes playlist. Then group related cases together in collections. Search your notes, or drag them between cases. Mental Case for Mac is the most powerful way to organize your study. Just as iTunes on your Mac provides a hub for your music and movies, Mental Case for Mac is your learning hub. After organizing your mental notes, you can sync them to your iPad, iPhone, or iPad touch over a Wi-Fi (Airport) network. Any edits or new notes you make on your iOS device will sync back to the Mac, and when you study on your iOS device, your learning schedule is updated on the Mac when you sync.

Advanced Learning
Mental Case is not just a pretty face, it is a powerful learning tool based on scientific research into how people learn. An automated lesson is included, which gathers together the notes you most need to study at any given time. The lesson is based on a method known as spaced repetition, which is designed to make the time you spend learning as efficient as possible.

Capture Anything
Learning your notes is the ultimate goal, but first you have to get your information into Mental Case. The Mac app includes a number of features to make capturing information fast and easy. Built-in screen grab means you can make a new note of anything that appears on your Mac. You can even photograph something in the real world with your FaceTime camera. And if you need to import data in bulk, Mental Case can handle CSV files, including text and images.

Quick Entry
Mental Case is designed to integrate seamlessly into your daily work routine. The status menu and global keyboard shortcuts allow mental notes to be made whether you are working in Mental Case or not. You?ll never lose track of an important tip or snippet of information again. Add a mental note, and it?ll reappear in your lesson until you remember it.

Print Flashcards
Mental Case is designed for digital learning, but if you prefer a more traditional approach, that's possible too. You can print out your mental notes as flashcards, and study the old fashioned way.

What's with the Name?
The name 'Mental Case' was chosen because it is a double entendre. It's a colloquial term that we are all familiar with, meaning 'crazy person'. But it could also be a mental vessel, like a brief case for your thoughts. When we were first developing the app, this amusing double meaning appealed to us, and that's where the name comes from.
