Heads Up is Mem's real-time context panel. The moment you open or create a note, Mem looks at who you're meeting with, what's being discussed, and what you're working on—then surfaces relevant notes before you think to look for them.
The moment you create or open a note on Mac, Windows, Web, or iOS, Heads Up surfaces relevant notes organized into clear sections.
Timeline threads your complete history with a person, team, or recurring series.
The Related Topic bundle surfaces past clippings, outlines, drafts, and voice notes that are topically connected to whatever you're working on.
Hit Find More inside the Heads Up panel to broaden the results and surface more loosely related notes. Or toggle to Mem Chat for a targeted, conversational query when you want to search for something specific. Heads Up is the tap on the shoulder; chat is the deep dive.
Briefings is a Pro feature that automatically generates a summary of relevant context in the Heads Up panel before each meeting from your calendar integration. Walk into every meeting knowing what was covered last time and what's still outstanding, without having to search or ask.
Heads Up Live is a Pro feature that makes Heads Up proactive during any Voice Mode session. Heads Up analyzes the transcript of an active recording and identifies topics being mentioned, surfacing relevant notes from your workspace in real time. Available on Web and Desktop.

Heads Up is Mem's context panel — a right-hand sidebar that automatically surfaces related notes, past meeting timelines, and relevant collections the moment you open or create a note. It requires no manual setup, tagging, or linking. Mem reads the context of what you're working on and brings the right information to the surface, including things you captured months ago that are suddenly relevant again.
Heads Up is passive and automatic — it surfaces context without you asking. Mem Chat is active and conversational — you ask specific questions and it searches your workspace to answer them. They work best together: Heads Up gives you ambient context while you work, and Chat is there when you need to dig for something specific or synthesize across many notes.
Most meeting tools generate notes from a single conversation. Heads Up connects that meeting to your entire history — past sessions with the same person, related research, prior decisions, open action items — and surfaces all of it automatically. It's the difference between a transcript of today's call and a full briefing on everything relevant to it, assembled without any effort on your part.
Meeting Briefings is a Pro beta feature that shows a pre-meeting summary inside the Heads Up panel before each event. Using your calendar integration, Mem pulls relevant context from your past notes — who you've met with, what was covered, what's still open — and presents it as a briefing before the meeting starts. You can rate each one with a thumbs up or down to help improve the quality over time. Requires calendar integration and a Pro account.
Heads Up Live is a Pro beta feature that activates Heads Up during any Voice Mode session. As you record — whether you're in a meeting, doing a brain dump, or dictating notes on the go — Heads Up listens to the audio, identifies topics being mentioned, and surfaces related notes from your workspace in real time. Unlike static meeting tools that surface context only before or after a call, Heads Up Live brings relevant information to the surface exactly when it comes up. Available on Web and Desktop with a Pro account.
Yes. On iOS, swipe in from the right edge of the screen or tap the double-arrow icon to reveal Heads Up. Meeting Timeline and Related Topic Bundles work the same as on desktop. Heads Up Live is currently available on Web and Desktop only.
Heads Up is intentionally opinionated and works without any manual configuration — no tagging, linking, or setup required. If you want broader results, hit Find More inside the panel. If you want to search for something specific, switch to Mem Chat. Meeting Briefings quality improves over time as you rate each briefing.
I no longer worry about how I organize or segment notes into different apps—I toss it in Mem and know it will be there when I need it. So much weight off my shoulders.
