Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.2
GPA, above 8 of the 68 other AI meeting note takers we grade
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.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Mem, taken from its own pages and our grades.
An agent that learns from your notes takes some time to set up.
- 1
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.
- 2
Paid plans start at $9 a month
As its pricing page puts it: $9 / month.
- 3
There is a free plan
25 messages to Mem and 25 new notes a month, 15 open tasks and projects tracked, and 3 hours of Voice Mode.
- 4
It runs on 3 platforms
iOS, macOS and Windows.
- 5
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.
- 6
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.
- 7
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.
- 8
A 2.2 GPA, above 8 of 68
That is against the other AI meeting note takers we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 9
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.

The report card
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | $9 a month for Plus, which is just above the $8.33 that marks the cheaper quarter. Pro is $29 and the larger plans go up to $199. |
| Free plan and trial | C | 25 messages, 25 new notes, 15 open tasks and 3 hours of Voice Mode a month. Most people will hit one of those. |
| Features | C | Notes, task tracking, a web clipper, Voice Mode and search by meaning. Connections and routines start at Pro, $29, and meetings are one use among several. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. An agent that learns from your notes takes some time to set up. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | iPhone, Mac and Windows with Gmail, Slack, Todoist and Claude connections, but no Android app. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
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.
