Octoname, a flashcard-style memory app, helps users remember names and build meaningful connections.
Toto, the Cofounder of Octoname, shared the story behind the app's creation, “The idea behind Octoname was born from a common and deeply personal struggle: forgetting names in social or professional settings. In search of a solution, I began writing down names and practicing them regularly; eventually, I turned this routine into an app that could help others as well. Octoname was born.”
Octoname’s simple interface is designed to promote long-term memory retention through spaced repetition and visual reinforcement, methods often used in language learning and cognitive training. The app turns the overwhelming process of memorizing dozens of names into a manageable and enjoyable, daily practice.
Using Octoname, a user can now:
-
Create custom flashcards for each person they meet by adding their name, photo, where meeting happened, and any personal notes.
-
Organize people into groups such as Work, Gym, Conference, for easier review.
-
Mark names as “remembered” or “still learning” to keep track of progress.
-
Practice with flashcard review sessions at your own pace.
-
Review regularly to keep names fresh in mind, even after months.
Whether preparing for a meeting, gearing up for a networking event, or simply navigating daily social encounters, Octoname helps users walk in confidently and leave a lasting impression, simply by saying names correctly.
Before any event, a user can prepare themselves by :
-
Quickly scanning his list
-
Build confidence and leave a great impression by greeting people by name.
“Stop saying, I’m just bad with names. That excuse is holding you back: from deeper connections, better opportunities, and real confidence in every social setting. With Octoname, remembering names becomes second nature. ” Toto Alpha concludes.
From students and teachers to expats, professionals, and event organizers, Octoname is built for anyone who meets a lot of people and wants to show up as their best, most connected self.
