The topic I threw my messy notes at Mem, and it turned them into something I’d actually\u2026<\/strong> is currently the subject of lively discussion \u2014 readers and analysts are keeping a close eye on developments.<\/p>\n

This is taking place in a dynamic environment: companies\u2019 decisions and competitors\u2019 reactions can quickly change the picture.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve lost count of how many times I\u2019ve created notes and kept putting off opening them because they were so messy. They weren\u2019t formatted, and I couldn\u2019t tell which was a heading and which was copy.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s when I decided to give one of those AI note-taking apps a try and see what it could do. I went with Mem, and what it did with my notes was more than I expected.<\/p>\n

I wanted to create a note about what dogs can and can\u2019t eat. So I asked Gemini to put something together. When I pasted it into Mem, I ended up with a wall of text. Then I saw a broom icon with sparkles around it, and when I hovered over it, it said, \u201cClean up notes in a single click.\u201d Mem added things such as headings, bullet points, and a preview of what it added and removed. The app also added a comparison table about which foods were safe and which ones weren’t.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

In the preview, I could see the suggested fixes without removing what I had. My notes were in blue, and Mem\u2019s suggestions were in red. If there was a suggestion I didn\u2019t agree with, I could click Refine to adjust the suggested fixes. Even then, it didn\u2019t fix anything until it showed me one more preview with the latest changes. That\u2019s when I could click Accept to make them permanent.<\/p>\n

After a long day of typing, my fingers can get cramped. So, when I need to add something to a note, I use the voice recording feature to get all my thoughts out in a single brain-dump. Mem shows me what I\u2019ve added, making it easier to review, since I can see if I missed anything.<\/p>\n

Mem treats each phrase as a new line, but the recording doesn\u2019t pause when I stop talking. I can see how much time I\u2019m spending creating the recording, but it won\u2019t stop until I click Done. After that, I can see how Mem asks me to edit my notes with the new information and shows me a preview of what it added and what it\u2019ll remove. If I\u2019m happy with the changes, I can click Done.<\/p>\n

I wasn\u2019t too sure if I had added a section on what human foods can be used as treats for dogs. To make sure, without reading the entire note again, I asked Mem\u2019s chat if that section was in my notes. After searching for a few seconds, it told me that I already had a section on that.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

The chat showed the name of the section, Safe & Healthy \u201cHuman Food\u201d Treats. It showed me the information with:<\/p>\n

That made it easier to skim through the information and find the part of the note I wanted. It also included a small note at the end about the 10% rule, which recommends that treats make up no more than that amount of my dog\u2019s daily calories.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not too fond of the 25 notes a month you can create on the free tier. I haven\u2019t reached the limit just yet, but I know I\u2019ll get there eventually. I don\u2019t want another subscription to pay for. I have other apps I can use for free to paste my notes, such as Obsidian and Google Keep. They won\u2019t clean up my notes like Mem, but at least they\u2019re free.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t keep my notes for very long. I\u2019ve only kept them a few weeks. After a while, I ended up clearing my notes and getting the space I needed. I\u2019m not going to worry about the 25 note limit, I\u2019ll erase the ones I don\u2019t need anymore. Mem has already cleaned them up for me, so I can copy them and paste them elsewhere.<\/p>\n

I already have my go-to note-taking app, but I wanted to give Mem a try. I wasn\u2019t disappointed by what it could do, but I wasn\u2019t too happy with its limits. I\u2019m still getting things done with the free version, and that\u2019s all that matters at the moment. I already have a plan set up for when I reach the limit, and it doesn\u2019t include paying the monthly subscription.<\/p>\n

Mem is an AI-powered notes app that organizes everything you capture and displays it in an easy-to-read format with one click.<\/p>\n
