Meminto Update 5.1 – Better Editing, Assistant Mode, Media file Downloads

TOC

We’re starting the new year and have prepared some great improvements for you!

With version 5.1, we’ve made working on your book noticeably easier. This update brings new features for faster adjustments, better support for family members, and significantly more transparency when working with text and images. At the same time, we’ve optimized many details behind the scenes to make Meminto more stable and user-friendly.

✏️ New: Edit texts directly from the preview

From now on, you can edit text directly from preview mode (Layout & Print, Step 2) . The headings are now linked – and these links take you directly to the correct location in the editor, which opens in a new tab when you click on them.

This means less searching, fewer clicks, and faster corrections – right where you see them. To regenerate the entire PDF, save the full preview again.

🤝 New: Assistant mode – create a book together

The new assistant mode is aimed at people who want to accompany someone else while they write – for example, children who have given Meminto to their parents.

Assistants can:

  • Preparing and structuring interviews
  • Writing texts on behalf of the author
  • Revise and organize content
  • Place images and prepare the book

They act like ghostwriters , handling everything on behalf of the author . Important:
Assistants do not appear as contributors in the book. The story belongs entirely to the author.

In this way, Meminto becomes a joint project – personal, supportive and across generations.

📦 New: Download media files with one click

In the book settings, you can now download all uploaded media files with one click .
This means that photos, audio files, and videos are available to you in a clear and organized way, even outside of Meminto.

🎨 New: Select book cover directly at the beginning

Right from the start of a book project, you can choose from 6 different book covers .
The cover can be adjusted at any time during the creation process or completely changed later – until the final approval of the book.

 

Improvements in detail

In addition to the new features, we have further improved many existing areas:

  • redesigned error page with a friendly animation
  • Numerous optimizations for performance and system stability
  • The PIN for the senior-friendly interface is now disabled by default.
  • The Meminto AI has been optimized and translation errors have been corrected.

📸 Media library: better overview of your images

Especially with large book projects, a clear overview is crucial. That’s why we’ve expanded the media library:

  • A new “Unused” tab shows images that have not yet been used in the book.
  • Display showing how often an image is used in the book
  • Display of the number of images per answer or section

This way you can see at a glance where images are missing, are being used twice, or where there is still room for more.

📚 After the book’s release

After publication, your media library will remain accessible .
However, the book itself is now complete. Changes are only possible if you consciously initiate a revision that creates a new version of the book.

📦 Improved shipping and approval process

To ensure smooth shipping, we have further refined the process:

  • Phone number integration in the interview and approval process for dispatch
  • clearer information page after the book has been shipped , so you always know what happens next.

Version 5.1 – made for real stories

Meminto 5.1 brings more clarity, better collaboration and finer tools for what really matters:
capturing memories – together, calmly and with joy.
