Mem - AI Notes, Search & Chat 4+

Love this app so much . Once you start using it ,I promise it’ll be hard to go back to another app . Imagine having a vague memory of a note taken or maybe a Readwise highlight ? The chat will find it . Even better is the smart write feature . I wish that “/“ smart write was added into mobile !

I come from using roam and obsidian . This is so much more intuitive . I hope they stay true to road map and add pdf , pictures , and recorded audio !

This app is about as buggy as it was a 18 months ago when I first started using it. Today I tried clicking into the categories section on a new note and it just wouldn't let me add anything. And when the categories functionality does work, it will often suggest starting a new category for an already existing category. Also, the new -- currently optional -- web interface doesn't seem like a direction I'm interested in (e.g., eliminating the Inbox and templates). And finally, the ai search function is maybe a little too powerful in that it churns up all kinds of hits that just aren't relevant. On the other hand, the simplicity of the layout is one of my favorites among notes apps and is what attracted me to Mem in the first place.

I try A LOT of note apps. I’ve self hosted, and focused on inexpensive / privacy focused options. I gave this a shot hoping to hate it and dismiss it given it’s pricing ($99/yr !!!!). I already have enough cheaper with higher note portability. But man, that contextual search is amazing. Amazing. It’s helping me reconnect with thoughts I’ve had a long time ago and that I can further hash out and develop. Kudos to the team. 👏Great app.
