Review Mem?

Reviewers largely see Mem as a low-friction notes tool that works best when you want to capture ideas quickly and let AI handle retrieval, synthesis, and light organization. Writers, solopreneurs, and long-time PKM users say it helps surface buried context, connect scattered notes, and reduce manual filing through voice, chat, search, web clipping, and tags. The main complaints are price, note limits, some bugs and performance issues, weaker exact-keyword search, missing integrations, and language gaps for voice features.

I'm a Mem believer from the start, and I'm super excited to see it fully come alive now with the launch of Mem Agent. To me, it’s such a relief that, as my business scales, I now have a system that lets me keep track of where my clients are at - without having to build and maintain the system myself. It brings together the information that’s scattered across conversations and notes, so I don’t feel like I’m going to start dropping balls. Oh… and the fact that it helps me across all areas of life is such a win. Just one agent helping me manage it all, as a solopreneur and mum of three, is a lifesaver. I can simply talk to my phone and trust that Mem Agent has the context to process my short memos, thoughts, and to-dos I suddenly remember.

I have so many examples of how it improved my work and life. Let's share one more.

One routine that has changed dramatically since using Mem Agent is going for a walk around lunchtime. I wanted to build this routine for a long time, but I used to struggle to find the time during the day. Now, it’s much easier to actually go. My most creative ideas often come during these walks. Before Mem Agent, I would stop and type them into my phone, which led me to just continue working during my walk. Or I would come back from the walk and spend another half hour putting it all in the right place before I could get back to the rest of my day. Now I can keep walking, record a short voice memo, get it out of my head, enjoy the walk, and trust that Mem Agent will take care of the rest for me. That might read like a small change, but it has made a real difference to my health, my headspace, and my creativity.

What needs improvement

You need some workarounds if you want to use your native language for voice notes and voice interactions with the agent. I have notes in different languages, and it processes them beautifully. I can chat with Mem Agent in both Dutch and English, no problem. It just can't transcribe Dutch meetings, and I can't talk to it in Dutch. My current workaround: I use Claude to import Dutch Fathom transcripts instead of using Mem to record the meetings. Also, I use iMessage. Given that my phone is configured in Dutch, the iMessage voice recorder transcribes my voicenote. Works for me.

vs Alternatives

I tried many solutions over the years: OneNote, Notion, Todoist, written notes on ReMarkable, basic folders,... And lately, of course, also ChatGPT and Claude. I was first drawn to Mem because it allowed me to capture about anything in a very natural and non-intrusive way. It's much more like my own brain works. I don't have to spend hours building folders and a structure, only to change it all again when the structure stops working or when I realize I still don't find some information I know is there. Mem Agent now is a lifesaver. It acts as a client success manager, household manager, knowledge broker, and personal coach, helping me monitor my personal health and relationship goals as well. I feel I'm only using a fraction of its full potential, so I'm excited to explore it further.

So, I’m writing this as someone with AuDHD as has tried a thousand different versions of apps that claim to help organise your life:

Mem Agent has helped me recover information that would otherwise have stayed buried. Instead of just surfacing a vague reference, it traces ideas back to their original source, and captures the useful context so they could actually be found and used later.

It has helped me keep real-world commitments alive across days and changing situations. Rather than treating a task as finished just because it was mentioned once, it keeps track of deadlines, waiting states, refunds, follow-ups, and unresolved decisions. I’m someone that needs to be checked in with because the executive dysfunction is real 😅.

It has reduced the friction of maintaining an online second brain. Whether I’m using the app, chat, or another connected platform (with multiple LLMs available), I can capture thoughts and commitments in the moment, and the agent turns that scattered input into something searchable, organised, and actionable, instead of leaving me to remember where I put it.

The dev team are actually open to feedback and have even implemented a couple of things I’ve suggested. Mem Agent is only a few steps away from being a very necessary part of my day to day life. When a product is like this, of which there are many viable options, I pick which to use based on the people behind the product. This is a good team that listens to their customers - that’s gets them loyalty from me.

**EDIT**

A couple of hours after posting, email connectors were released. This is what I mean about the devs listen to their customers! Happy to now upgrade this from a 4 star review to a 5 😊

——

The launch price, I think, is ever so slightly steep for someone who's more of a casual user who would take advantage of the benefits of the agent. Apart from that, though, you can't fault it. I'd like to point out this is only a step for the agent usage. The default app, I think, is incredibly well priced

I've tried them all. This is the one for me, as a writer who is knee-deep in notes, research, web clippings, project management, and composition daily. I did my entire last book (book 40) there and have two more moving forward. The AI agent takes the app to a new level. I spend zero time organizing everything, and not only is everything accessible, I can get a useful synthesis across my notes, making Mem a dedicated thought partner.

Great to see the release of 2.0 and to get a sneak peek of the newest feature. I started using Mem in 2021, and have kept using it above other note apps because it’s easy to dump or write notes in it, and to use Copilot or search to retrieve, compile, summarize, outline, or create new notes based on existing notes. I think the new organizing features of Copilot and Chat will be great assets for reducing the need to manually categorize or organize notes. Note: Today I also discovered that I can use the Web Clipper to create a note from a website and add notes to an existing note via the Web Clipper.

If you're constantly taking notes and are overwhelmed by the volume, then you need an app to capture them all without having to worry about the organization process. That's what Mem does really well. Mem's features make it easy to find, clarify, cross reference and combine your information so you can start making it useful. Mem behaves like an interactive second brain more than any other tool I've tried. The more info you give it, the more it can help you as a personal assistant. Once Mem has OCR features for text, it will become indispensable for me. Its a great app so please give it a try.

I’ve been using Mem since early in its conception and development. Mem 1.0 became my go-to note taking app and now with Mem 2.0 the team has done a great job reinventing something that already had my vote - making something great! I was drawn to Mem’s unstructured approach to organizing allowing for both human provided ‘tags’ (which are now ‘collections’) and AI provided tags; adding Mems is quick and easy (via writing, voice, web clips or forwarded emails) and search is AI assisted for quick access to specific content. Interacting with an individual Mem, an entire collection or the entire ‘knowledge base’ is intuitive, easy and powerful through ‘chatting.’ Mem learns from me and gets better and better at being a ‘smart assistant.’

I’ve spent a fair bit of time using both Obsidian and Notion for personal knowledge management. They’re both great tools - powerful and flexible - but they often end up feeling a bit cluttered or heavy, especially when you’re trying to think and create quickly. That’s why Mem has been such a refreshing change for me. If you’re after a simple, uncluttered PKM tool with strong AI built right in, this is the one. It doesn’t just store your notes - it links your ideas together and even answers your questions based on what’s already in your knowledge base. It genuinely feels like the tool is thinking alongside you. The jump to Mem 2.0 makes that experience even better. The team seems to have stripped away anything unnecessary and focused completely on what Mem does best: helping you stay in flow, make connections, and focus on the work that matters. I’m honestly loving Mem 2.0 so far. And if they add just a few things - like a native Android app, quick capture from WhatsApp, or direct Readwise integration - it would easily become my all-in-one PKM solution. If you’ve been looking for a tool that doesn’t just hold your notes but helps you think, I’d highly recommend giving Mem a try.

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!

I’ve tried almost every note app out there, but Mem 2.0 is the one that finally feels frictionless. The backslash formatting is so intuitive that I actually enjoy organizing my thoughts instead of fighting the interface. The search and autotagging features make it ridiculously easy to find what I need without spending time sorting. Plus, the Chrome extension is a game changer for saving articles and webpages for later. Mem just gets out of your way and lets you think.

I've been using it since early days, and even used it to help me write my first book. One of the most essential software solutions I use. The mem team has consistently added high-quality updates to the software, and Mem 2.0 is rock solid. The audio capture feature alone is worth using the software, let alone the tons of other amazing features.
