About Mem

Mem is a notes app that leans on AI so you don't have to organise anything. You capture notes, meeting transcripts, voice thoughts and web clips, and Mem's agent connects them, tracks tasks and projects, and answers questions with the relevant notes in context. It can record meetings without a bot joining the call, and a push-to-talk shortcut on Mac and Windows lets you dictate a thought and have it filed. Recent versions position it as an AI chief of staff that checks in when something needs your attention. A free plan gives a small monthly allowance, and paid Plus and Pro tiers add more AI messages, voice hours and connections to other apps. It runs on the web with apps for Mac, Windows and iOS. The trade-offs are heavy reliance on AI and the cloud, pricing that climbs with usage, and less manual structure for people who like folders. It suits busy professionals who want notes that organise themselves.

Best for: Busy professionals who want AI to file, connect and follow up on their notes.
