Best for a notes workspace with an agent that tracks your tasks
Mem is a notes app with an agent that finds tasks and projects in what you save, and a Voice Mode that captures meetings without a bot. The free plan stops at 25 notes and 3 hours of Voice Mode a month, and there's no Android app.
Who Mem is for
- Fits if you want notes and meeting capture in one place, without a bot

- Pricey if you want connections or routines, which start at Pro, $29 a month
- Not for you if you use Android, as no app is listed
- Watch out: data is encrypted at rest and in transit, but not end-to-end encrypted

Keep Mem, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Mem you would be making a bot that joins your calls and turns the talk into notes. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 40 of the 68 other AI meeting note takers grade higher. It costs $108 a year.
What you could make
- Notes, web clipper and calendar: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- A bot that joins your calls and turns the talk into notes.
- An AI model, which you can rent by the request but not make.
- Speech turned into text you can trust.
- Apps for macOS, Windows and iOS that stay in step with each other.
What this rests on. Mem’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is Mem?
Mem is a notes workspace paired with an AI agent that reads what you save and keeps track of tasks, projects and goals. Voice Mode captures a meeting or a spoken thought and turns it into a structured transcript and notes, and the site says it does this without a meeting bot. Plans are sized by monthly messages, notes and hours of Voice Mode.
Worth knowing
- Limits are monthly counts, and the free plan stops at 25 notes, 25 messages and 3 hours of Voice Mode.
- Connections and custom routines start at Mem Pro ($29 a month); Plus has neither.
- Data is encrypted at rest and in transit but, the FAQ says, not end-to-end encrypted.
- The download page lists iOS, Mac and Windows apps and no Android app.
Key features
- Voice Mode for meetings
- Turned on inside any note, it captures a meeting or a spoken thought and creates a structured transcript organized into notes. The site says no meeting bot joins.
- Task and project tracking
- Mem reviews notes you create or edit during the month to detect tasks and projects. The plan sets how many notes it reviews and how many items it tracks at once.
- Push-to-Remember
- A held keyboard shortcut lets you say something once and have the agent decide where it fits. Listed for Mac and Windows.
- Connections and routines
- Paid plans link external sources such as Gmail, Slack or Todoist as context, and run scheduled custom routines like briefings and reminders.
- Web clipper and search
- Clip pages from the web into notes, and search notes, meetings and connected sources by meaning. Deep Search and templates are on every plan.
- Markdown export
- The FAQ says notes and collections can be exported as Markdown files in one click.
