Switch from Obsidian to Mem

AI note‑taking that works right out of the box.

What's the difference

Obsidian is a local‑file‑first markdown editor with a deep plug‑in ecosystem for extensive customization. Mem is a smart, opinionated AI notes app with instant cross‑device sync, full offline support, intelligent formatting, organization, retrieval, and Voice Mode — all working right out of the box.

Why people switch to Mem

  • You're tired of searching for and configuring the right plug‑ins to get AI features working

  • You want powerful AI that works great out of the box

  • You prefer a simpler interface and user experience

  • You need exceptional search and smart resurfacing with Copilot

What you get

AI‑powered quick capture, Deep Search, smart recall, and Copilot — all out of the box and available everywhere.

“Don’t fool around with constantly organizing your notes — just take notes and know you’ll make great use of them when you need to. Mem can make connections between your notes you’ve never considered.”
