RECATOOLS Verdict

Mem is a capture-first notes app that now doubles as a proactive assistant: Mem Agent detects tasks in your notes and reminds you before they slip, and the Heads Up panel surfaces related notes and past meetings as you work. It suits individuals who capture a lot and want recall rather than filing.

Every plan is metered: the free tier allows 25 notes and 25 messages a month, and routines and app connections start at the $29 Pro plan. There is no Android app, and team plans go through sales. A Claude connector, MCP access and a REST API make it easy to reach from other AI tools.

Desk research by RECATOOLS from public sources, written with AI assistance — not a hands-on test. How we review

What we found

Mem is a notes app built on one idea: you should be able to write something down without deciding where it goes. Capture happens by typing, by recording in Voice Mode, by holding a push-to-talk shortcut on a Mac or Windows machine, or by clipping from the web, and Mem sorts the results into notes and Collections. Its marketing now calls it an AI chief of staff, which describes the second half of the product: Mem Agent reads what you have captured, spots the commitments buried in it and reminds you when something falls due, timing nudges around your calendar.

Mem Labs, Inc. was letting users in from a waitlist in April 2021, when TechCrunch reported a $5.6 million seed round from Andreessen Horowitz. In November 2022 the OpenAI Startup Fund led a $23.5 million round at a $110 million post-money valuation. Mem 2.0, released on 1 October 2025, was written from scratch with offline support on web, desktop and mobile. SOC 2 Type II followed in January 2026, then a Claude connector and MCP access in March, alongside a documented REST API for creating, reading and searching notes.

Pricing has been rebuilt twice since June 2026 and now meters everything. Free gives 25 messages to Mem, 25 new notes a month and 3 hours of Voice Mode. Mem Plus is $9 a month. Mem Pro, at $29, is the first plan with a custom routine and a connection to Gmail, Slack or Todoist. Above it sit 2×, 5×, 10× and 20× versions of Pro at $49, $99, $149 and $199, each multiplying the allowances, and the top plan can add $50 blocks of extra usage. No annual price is shown.

Check the boundaries before moving an archive in. Apps exist for iOS, Mac, Windows and the web, but not Android. Notes export as Markdown. Data sits on Google Cloud, encrypted at rest and in transit, though Mem states it is not end-to-end encrypted. Team plans go through sales. It suits one person who captures a lot and wants follow-through.
