Memory palace
Give a list a familiar place to live. Walk your route, one memorable stop at a time.
Free, always. No account needed.
Opening your local material…
A small tool. A useful practice.
Choose a place you know well and a fixed order of distinct stops. At each stop, attach a fact to a vivid imagined scene. Walk the same route in recall mode before revealing each fact.
Sources & limits
Dresler and colleagues studied six weeks of mnemonic training using the method of loci and found improvements in trained list-memory tasks. This is evidence for learning lists with a trained strategy, not for higher IQ or better memory in general.

Will a memory palace improve my IQ or all kinds of memory?
That is not established by this research. The cited training study measured memory for lists. A route is a strategy for particular material, and it takes practice to use.
