MySamantha vs Mem
Mem is an AI-native notes app. MySamantha is a full personal workspace.
Mem is genuinely good at fast, frictionless capture with AI-assisted organisation built in. MySamantha covers a wider surface: Notes, Tasks, Journal, Email and Calendar in one product, with Samantha as an optional assistant across all of them.

The architectural difference
Mem applies AI to the notes problem. MySamantha applies one workspace to your whole day, so the underlying Notes, Tasks, Journal, Email and Calendar stand on their own and AI stays optional.
A notes app that happens to have an assistant.
Documents, tables, backlinks, version history, web capture and search all work on their own. Samantha is there when you want her, and gone when you switch AI off.

Spend less time re-reading your own notes.
MySamantha brings note-taking into one connected workspace, with AI assistance that stays optional across your workflows.
Your notes transform with one click.
Summarise, turn lines into to-dos, draft emails or explain complex ideas, all without leaving your note.
Your voice becomes clean notes.
Speak naturally and MySamantha turns your words into structured, readable notes with headings, paragraphs and key points.
Your notes organise themselves.
MySamantha generates clear titles, groups your notes and keeps everything tidy, so you focus on writing, not filing.
Every note is one ask away.
Can't remember where you wrote something? Ask Samantha, and she can find, summarise or open the note you need.
Moving over from Mem.
Bring your notes across
Import from Notion, Obsidian and Google Drive with your folders intact. You can export your notes again at any time.
Run both while you decide
Many people keep Mem going while they settle in. Bring existing work into MySamantha at your own pace.
Can I use MySamantha alongside Mem?
Yes. Many people run both while they decide. Import tools and integrations help you bring existing work into MySamantha at your own pace.
How does pricing work?
Your plan pays for the MySamantha software. AI usage is separate: use supported AI access you already have, bring your own key, pay as you go, or turn AI off.
Do I have to use the AI?
No. Turn AI off and MySamantha remains a workspace for Notes, Tasks and Journal without AI features.
