Saving an inspiration adds an image — along with its source link, title, and metadata — to your Memo library. Every inspiration shows up instantly in your dashboard and stays there, ready to be tagged, organized, analyzed, or sent into Studio. The philosophy: save first, organize later. Friction at save time means a smaller library. Capture liberally, sort in batches.

​
From the web (browser extension)

  1. Install the Memo browser extension
  2. Sign in once
  3. On any webpage, click the Memo button in your browser toolbar
  4. Memo grabs the image — along with the title, source URL, and creator info when available
  5. The inspiration appears immediately in your dashboard
Right-click an image to save that specific image instead of the page’s default. The extension auto-detects the source platform — Instagram, X, LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube, Are.na — and tags it with a small badge on the card.

​
By uploading a file

Drag an image from your desktop onto the dashboard grid, or click Add inspiration. Memo uploads, processes, and adds it to the grid. Exported designs, Figma screenshots, photos you’ve taken — the system treats them all the same.

​
What happens after you save

The card appears instantly. In the background, Memo:
  • Runs the image through vision analysis and replaces the title and description with a clean, descriptive 5–8 word title and a 1–2 sentence summary
  • Detects the social platform if applicable and shows a badge
  • Records who saved it and when
  • Stores the source URL so you can always get back to the original
You’ll see a brief shimmer placeholder for a second or two while enrichment runs, then the real content fills in. If enrichment fails, the original scraped title stays.

​
The detail modal

Click any card to open a full-screen view — image on the left, detail panel on the right.

​
Title and description

The top of the panel shows the enriched title and description. Both are click-to-edit for editors and admins — click, type, press Enter or click outside to save. Press Escape to cancel.

​
Details tab

  • Source URL — clickable link back to the original
  • Added by — contributor avatar, with a “Claim” button if the inspiration was saved without a creator
  • Category — clickable dropdown to change in place
  • Tags — quick add and remove

​
Analyze tab

Switch here to run deep analysis (~1 credit). Full breakdown in Analyzing Images.

​
Action buttons

Below the panel:
  • Open source link — new tab to the original
  • Send to Studio — creates a new Studio project pre-loaded with this inspiration
  • Save as Style Reference — creates a brand asset from the inspiration, auto-triggers analysis if missing, saves extracted colors to your Brand Kit
  • Delete — removes the inspiration (editors and admins only)
The top bar has a Download button that actually downloads the file — Memo handles the cross-origin blob fetch so you get the file, not a new browser tab.

​
Deduplication

Memo deduplicates by source URL. Saving the same page twice updates the existing record instead of creating a duplicate.

​
Tips

  • Install the extension on day one. The value compounds as your library grows.
  • Don’t organize as you save. Tags and Spaces can be added in batch later.
  • Save your own work too. The system treats uploads and web saves identically.

​
Troubleshooting

The extension button is greyed out. You’re probably signed out. Click the extension icon and sign back in. My inspiration shows a broken image. The source page may have removed the image, or it’s behind authentication. Try saving again from a fresh page load. I don’t see what I just saved. Refresh the dashboard. If it still doesn’t appear, check your filters — a category or tag filter may be hiding it.
