Mem
Your AI chief of staff
Mem is a notes application paired with an AI agent that maintains a structured picture of your tasks, projects, and goals from the notes, meetings, and connected sources you capture. It addresses the problem of scattered context by keeping that information organized and available, so you can ask questions, draft, plan, and follow up without rebuilding background each time.
The workspace includes Push-to-Remember for quick voice capture from any app on Mac and Windows, Voice Mode for turning spoken streams into structured notes, calendar-connected meeting capture with transcripts and summaries, a Markdown editor with cleanup, Collections for grouping notes, and Heads Up for related context. Mem Agent reviews new context in the background, surfaces reminders and follow-ups, and supports Deep Search and templates. Connections link external sources such as Gmail, Slack, and Todoist, and MCP lets Claude and ChatGPT search and create notes. Content is encrypted in transit and at rest, and the service is SOC 2 Type II compliant.
Mem targets individuals and teams who capture and work with knowledge. It is packaged as a free plan plus paid editions with monthly allowances for messages, notes, task and project tracking, custom routines, connections, and Voice Mode, with higher tiers and optional extra usage blocks for greater capacity.
