The key feature that separates Mem X from Notion is the AI engine built into Mem X. I know Notion is introducing an AI engine (if I read that right), so I will have to see what happens when implemented. Mem X allows a completely different work flow from Notion in capturing ideas and the AI engine bringing past items back to the fore front.

I had the same discovery and hierarchy challenges in Evernote. So glad I switched to Mem. Great video, thanks.

I truly wish I could use Mem as my primary note-taking app. IMO they don’t know what kind of application they are (they being Mem). The iOS app is super buggy. They don’t have core formatting capabilities and most importantly they app is buggy (at this time I can’t even search for specific tags using mobile and the Mem team says there’s nothing they can do). I love the concept, believe Mem will be huge in the productivity x AI space in the coming years but personally feel that as a note-taking app it falls short.

This is really great! I was looking for a comparison of Notion and Mem by someone who extensively used both. I appreciate the coverage you gave Notion, it is the system I know - it was really interesting to see what didn't work for you and then to see how Mem loves these issues. One thought about a major factor in how we evaluate apps: I just came across the three (or four) different kinds of users again today: architect, gardener and librarian (the fourth being student). I think you might lean towards the gardener group: looking for organic relationships and a system that nurtures discoveries. The architect prefers highly structured systems, and I think I fall into the librarian category: I'm a pack rat, I want to collect and keep hold of everything! So there isn't one best app that everyone agrees is the best one, it really depends on your preferences and no app should try to be all things to all people, that would likely end in not pleasing anyone very much. I really love your video, thank you so much!

so basically this is bingo... I never read about your relationship with ADHD and Mem.. .but I've already sense that Mem is MASSIVE for ADHD

Notion has the capacity to become a huge mess when not reigned in. But the same is true for most tools of this nature.

Wow everything you said I have dealt with with Notion and obsidian.

Is it locally?! Is it encrypted?! Is it safe?! Thx

Hi everyone - What are your thoughts on mem's privacy policy??

Great information. Thank you.

Good video, thank you

Can you see your highlights from Readwise in Mem?

Is Mem better than Obsidian ?

After seeing his notion. I can tell that he didn't know exactly how notion work. he's that guy who jump into notion and didn't do any technical learning on how to build a system. you don't jump to notion and start taking notes. you learn every single aspect of it first and "build a system of your own" but if you lack the technical knowledge you system will look chaotic like some office table full of stuffs. I came from evernote, it took me 6months to transition and finally decided cut my evernote and use noton 100% base from this video. if you are an evernote user and hate it. you can easily transfer to mem without problem. mem is like what evernote should have been for more than 10yrs. it's just the developer and CEO of evernote are idiots. Evernote and mem are for ordinary peeps. you register and start using it. no configuration what so ever. Notion is not for ordinary people. notion is for technical people. people who have "basic programming skills." and guess what. basic education now have basic programming skills in the curriculum. so choosing which is which is simply asking yourself. do you want start right now? or do you want to build a system that will work for you? if you do go get notion. if not go get mem. don't touch evernote.. you will regret it lol

why not obsedian?

five minutes in and we are still going over notion. got bored and left.

5 minutes in before you talk about mem. Not good. Streamline your delivery. You should've spent like MAYBE 30 seconds to a minute on Notion. The rest on Mem.
