I've been using personal knowledge management tools for a few years now and have jumped back and forward between a few different tools: Obsidian, LogSeq, Notion, Craft, to name a few. They all have their strengths and weaknesses. Obsidian is powerful and flexible but still feels a bit like a developer tool - I found myself wading through endless (though admittedly clever) plugins. Notion is the ultimate do-everything tool but using it for journaling and note-taking feels a bit clunky to me and the AI add-on is costly. But what Mem does really well is it creates a simple intuitive note-taking environment and uses AI for surfacing genuinely useful insights and connections. It's the first tool that feels truly like a helpful "second brain" rather than simply a repository of semi-structured notes that take effort to navigate. P.S. I love the recent UX update too!
