Memory Walk turns an eleven-digit phone number into a tiny walk around your home, so your child can recall it if they ever need to.
Why this exists. Most children can name their best friend, their favourite dinosaur and every Pokémon in order — but ask them their mum's mobile and you get a blank stare. Memory Walk fixes that, gently, in about five minutes a day.
Each of the eleven digits becomes a tiny picture. The pictures live at eleven spots around your own home — the front door, the kettle, the bathroom mirror — in a fixed order. Walking the route in your head walks you through the number. It's an ancient technique (the "memory palace") built into an app that a child can use unsupervised.
Type the number you'd like learned. Pick your home type. Optionally take a quick photo of each spot for instant recognition.
Every digit gets a friendly picture. Two short games help them stick — no scoring, no failure.
A narrated tour around your home, meeting one symbol at each spot. By the end of week one, the number is in there.
A 90-second daily refresher keeps it locked in. After eleven photos, Journey Mode unlocks for timed runs.
A parent first, a child after. The first walk-through is best done together — it takes five minutes and the child quickly picks up the pattern. After that, the daily refreshers are short and safe enough for a child to run on their own.
The "memory palace" is the technique world memory champions use to remember decks of cards and hundred-digit numbers. Children are naturally brilliant at it — this app just gives the technique training wheels.
Every prompt is read aloud in a calm voice, and the buttons are large and picture-led. The app works for pre-readers from about age 4 with a parent alongside.
Completely. There are no accounts, no analytics, no ads, no third-party trackers. The phone number and any photos you add stay on the device. Full detail in the privacy notice.
