Switch from Apple Notes to Mem
Stay organized without trying—powered by AI.
What's the difference
Apple Notes is simple and tightly integrated with Apple devices—great for quick jotting and basic folders. Mem is your AI-powered notes app that works everywhere, with Deep Search, shared collections, and proactive recall. If Apple Notes is a notebook, Mem is a thought partner.
Why people switch to Mem
Better search. Find notes by meaning, not just keywords, with Deep Search.
AI Chat. Ask questions and generate new content based on all your notes.
Proactive AI. AI automatically surfaces related notes with Mem Copilot.
Faster capture. Use Mem's AI Web Clipper, AI Email-to-Mem, and Voice Mode.
Cross-platform. Mac, iOS, Windows, and web (Apple Notes only works on Apple devices).
Better collaboration. Collaborate in shared collections — more flexible than a single shared note.
What you get
More ideas captured. Smarter collaboration. Faster recall. Instead of just storing notes, Mem helps you actually find and use them—even if you don’t remember they exist.
“Apple Notes is great for jotting something down. Mem is great for finding it again, even if you don’t remember it exists.”
