Mem
Mem is an AI note-taking and workspace app for capturing notes, meeting transcripts, and research in one searchable place.
What is Mem?
Mem is a productivity app for taking notes, organizing information, and turning conversations or rough ideas into usable written material. It helps individuals and teams capture notes, meeting discussions, research, and drafts in a workspace that stays searchable across Mac, Windows, iOS, and the web. The app includes AI-assisted writing and editing tools, search across saved content, and note organization features that reduce the need for manual filing. Users can import notes, work with multiple notes in tabs or split view, and use voice features to record and summarize spoken content. On desktop, it can also support meeting-note workflows by capturing microphone and system audio when the necessary permissions are granted. Mem is published by Mem Labs, Inc.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
Mem is legitimate note-taking software. It may request access to your microphone and, on supported desktop setups, system audio so it can record and summarize meetings or voice notes; those permissions are normal for its voice and transcription features. Because the app is designed to store notes, conversations, and work material in a cloud-connected workspace, avoid saving highly sensitive information unless that fits your privacy requirements. If you do not use voice capture, you can leave audio permissions turned off.
Recommendation: Keep Mem if you actively use it for notes, meetings, or research. Remove it if you no longer use the service, knowing that deleting the app will stop desktop note-taking and voice features on this Mac until you reinstall it.
