AI-powered note-taking app that automatically organizes your notes by surfacing connections to people, projects, and past ideas - no folders required.

Mem is an AI-native notes app founded in 2020 that uses machine learning to automatically surface related notes, people, and topics without requiring manual folder organization or tagging. Instead of hierarchical folders, Mem builds a dynamic knowledge graph linking notes to calendar events, contacts, and related ideas. Mem X, the premium AI layer, allows users to chat with their entire note library, ask questions across all their accumulated writing, and generate drafts that draw on past notes as context. The app syncs across iOS, macOS, and web with a fast capture-first design for quick note input. Mem raised $23.5 million in Series A funding in 2022, backed by Khosla Ventures and OpenAI's Sam Altman.
