MyMemo
MyMemo is an AI knowledge management app that captures web pages, YouTube videos, PDFs, Word documents, images and audio, summarizes each item, then lets students, researchers and heavy readers question their own saved library in plain language.
What is MyMemo?
MyMemo is a personal knowledge base driven by AI. You feed it what you read, watch and write; it summarizes each item, then lets you question the whole collection later in plain language. Capture goes through the MyMemo Web Clipper Chrome extension, the iOS and Android apps, the web app or a direct upload. It takes web links and articles, YouTube videos (summary plus a searchable transcript), images, screenshots and charts read by a vision model, PDFs including scanned ones through OCR, Word files, plain text, audio that gets transcribed, and notes typed inside the app.
Every saved item becomes a memo card carrying a structured summary and its key points, downloadable as PDF or Word or publishable behind a share link. Memo cards group into Collections, and activating a collection narrows the AI chat to its contents; TeamSpace extends the same idea to a shared team library.
The recall layer is MemoAI, also called AskMemo. It searches by vector similarity and answers strictly from your own material, with clickable citations pointing back to each original source. The product page states the boundary as plainly as the promise: MemoAI never browses the live web, cannot handle time-based questions such as what you uploaded over the past two weeks, and cites at most five resources per answer. An @ command hands a question to standard ChatGPT when it falls outside the library. No fixed model list is published; the site points to an in-app picker, and the April 2026 changelog names GPT-5 and Claude 4.6 Opus/Sonnet for paid plans, GPT-4o-mini for the free one.
Two further features round out the product. MemoCast turns saved content into three-minute podcasts, on demand or as an automatic daily or weekly review, with adjustable voice and speed. An MCP connection lets external assistants such as Claude read the library, create memos and collections, and save web or YouTube content within plan limits. The interface exists in English, German, French and Spanish, and content is processed in several languages, working best when question and content share the same one.
Two announced products are not shipped, and the site says so: M-NOTE, a voice recorder at the demand-validation stage, and RobotMemo, a memory operating system for humanoid robots. MyMemo is published by MyMemo AI LLC, based in Newark, California; the domain was first archived on 10 January 2024.

- Generate a three-minute MemoCast podcast from what you have saved
When to use MyMemo / When not to
A quick filter to help you decide if MyMemo is the right fit.
When to use MyMemo
- Daily readers who save far more articles, newsletters and videos than they will ever find time to revisit
- Students and academic researchers building a searchable base of PDFs, papers, lecture notes and course videos
- Writers and content creators who draft from what they have already read and need the original source back
- Knowledge workers hunting for a saved file whose name or origin they no longer remember
- Small teams sharing a common reference library through TeamSpace and questioning it collectively
When not to use MyMemo
- Anyone needing live web data such as stock prices or breaking news: MemoAI never leaves your saved library
- Users expecting the chat to open a pasted URL or to add content on command, since every item goes in manually through Add New
- Organizations handling EU personal data that require a documented GDPR framework, a DPA or European hosting
- Developers wanting to build on top of the tool: no public API is documented, only an MCP connection
- Researchers who query by date or need more than five cited sources per answer, both being hard limits on every plan
How to use MyMemo
A typical end-to-end flow, from setup to results.
- Create an account on app.mymemo.ai/signup, with no credit card asked; Google and Apple sign-in are both available
- Install the MyMemo Web Clipper Chrome extension to save any page in one click, with a Click to Show AI Summary button appearing beside savable content
- In the app, press Add New to bring in a link, file, image, audio clip or note; every addition is manual
- Let the item run through the processing queue: an AI Summarizing badge shows the wait, and a Failed item can be retried with Resummarize from the right-click menu
- Sort your memo cards into Collections; activating a collection restricts the AI chat to its content
- Question MemoAI in plain language and click the citations to reopen the original source
- Type @ to send a question to standard ChatGPT when it falls outside your library
- Download a summary as PDF or Word, or generate a public share link
- Right-click a memo or a collection and choose Generate Memocast for a three-minute podcast; the daily review is switched on in the settings, off by default for accounts created since 5 July 2026
- On mobile, send several items at once through the iOS share sheet, and keep the format limits in mind: PDFs up to 25 MB, while .php and login-protected pages are not processed, so use a screenshot or the Chrome extension instead
Pros & Cons

- Email is the only support channel, with acknowledgement announced within one business day, and two showcased products, M-NOTE and RobotMemo, have not shipped
Pricing & Plans
MyMemo runs on a freemium model. A permanent free plan is available without a credit card, and the lowest paid entry point is the Pro plan at USD 5.90 per month on annual billing, or USD 9.90 per month billed monthly. The Ultra plan costs USD 11.90 per month annually and USD 19.90 per month monthly. Annual prices are displayed as a monthly equivalent and charged once a year, in USD. No time-limited free trial is announced, the free plan filling that role. Billing runs through Stripe, and lifetime deals are sold only by authorized partners, separately from MyMemo subscriptions.

Data, GDPR & hosting
A consolidated view of how MyMemo handles your data.
GDPR overview
No page on the site mentions the GDPR: the word appears nowhere in the text or in the archived HTML of the pages reviewed. The rating of N therefore records a silence, not a refusal, since MyMemo neither claims compliance nor states that it is out of scope. The privacy policy, effective 18 May 2025, rests entirely on US law: CCPA/CPRA in section 10, Nevada law in section 11, COPPA for under-13s in section 8. Section 9.a extends the rights to know, delete, correct, opt out of sale and to non-discrimination to every user, not only Californians; requests go through the Account page after login, or privacy@mymemo.ai. Section 12 warns that data is transferred to and kept on US servers under laws that may not be equivalent to those of your country. No Article 27 representative, no DPA, no sub-processor list and no standard contractual clauses are published.
Who owns the data?
Under section 2.e of the user agreement, last modified on 15 May 2025, the intellectual property rights in your data remain yours or your licensors'. You grant MyMemo a non-exclusive license to use, copy, store, host, display, transmit and process that data, extended to its employees and contractors, only as far as necessary to deliver the service. You warrant that you hold the rights and consents covering everything you upload. MyMemo may remove or disable data where the law compels it, with reasonable efforts to notify you. Retrieval is free: Settings > Export produces a full zip archive, one export per day, sent as a link valid for 24 hours.
Reuse rights
Section 2.e of the user agreement provides that your data may serve as an Input to AI features, the result being the Output, and grants MyMemo a license to use, modify and adapt that Input as necessary to perform and improve its services. Nothing on the site says whether models are trained on user content, and no opt-out mechanism is documented, which is why the training status is recorded as unclear rather than yes or no. The privacy policy, effective 18 May 2025, lists the declared purposes: delivering the service, maintaining, improving and personalizing it, communicating with you, account and network security, legal compliance, enforcement of the terms and fraud prevention. Data is shared with service providers (payment, advertising, analytics, IT, support), affiliated entities, authorities on lawful request and any acquirer in a corporate transaction. First and third-party cookies, web beacons, pixels and session-replay technology (mouse movement and scrolling, not keystrokes) are in use, including for targeted advertising; under the CPRA, sharing cookie identifiers and IP addresses for interest-based advertising may qualify as a sale, and an opt-out right is offered. The reverse is not symmetrical: section 3.f forbids you from using MyMemo property to train an AI of your own.
Data retention & training
Hosting summary
Uploaded files are stored in an AWS cloud database, as stated on the home page and in the site FAQ. Section 12 of the privacy policy is explicit about jurisdiction: MyMemo is based in the United States and, wherever you use the service from, the information collected is transferred to and held on servers located in the United States, under laws the policy admits may not be equivalent to those of your country of residence. Using the service counts as consent to that transfer. No hosting region can be chosen and no European data center is mentioned anywhere. Section 13 describes the safeguards in general terms only: data on secure servers behind firewalls, payment transactions encrypted over SSL. No certification such as SOC 2 or ISO 27001 is claimed. The website itself is served through Cloudflare (anycast IP 188.114.97.12), which reflects delivery and says nothing about where the stored data actually sits.
Things to keep in mind
Risks and trade-offs to weigh before adopting MyMemo.
- The GDPR is never mentioned anywhere on the site; the legal framework is entirely American (CCPA/CPRA, Nevada, COPPA), with no Article 27 representative, no DPA and no published sub-processor list
- Data is transferred to and kept on servers in the United States whatever your country, and using the service counts as consent to that transfer
- Section 2.e of the user agreement grants a license to use, modify and adapt your Inputs in order to improve the service, without saying whether models are trained on them, and no training opt-out is documented
- Session-replay technology (mouse movement and scrolling) and third-party advertising cookies are active; under the CPRA, sharing those identifiers may qualify as a sale of data
- The Pro and Ultra plans bill M-NOTE recording minutes for hardware still at the demand-validation stage, with neither a price nor a release date
- The address differs between sources, Newark CA in the privacy policy against San Jose, California in the footer, and the beneficial owner is not established, the site carrying no team or about page
- No security certification is claimed, neither SOC 2 nor ISO 27001, and because answers draw on at most five documents from your own library, a confident summary can quietly hide what you never saved: open the cited sources before relying on them
Setup & Integrations
Technical difficulty
Getting started requires no technical skill at all: there is nothing to install on a server, nothing to configure and no connector to wire up. You create an account, sign in with Google or Apple if you prefer, and start saving straight away, with the site announcing a first capture in under thirty seconds. The only optional installs are the Chrome extension and the mobile apps, a few clicks each. One step sits higher: connecting an external assistant through MCP assumes you already know how to configure an MCP client. Everything else is beginner level.

Should you pick MyMemo?
MyMemo is a working product, not an announcement: the changelog runs in detail to 2 August 2026, the iOS and Android apps are published, and a public status page exists. For a daily reader, a student or anyone whose saved sources have outgrown what they can realistically reread, the value for money is favorable. From USD 5.90 per month on annual billing you get capture from web, mobile and Chrome extension, AI summaries of pages, videos, PDFs and audio, a chat grounded in your own library with clickable citations, and three-minute podcasts built from what you saved. The free plan is permanent and asks for no credit card, so the tool can be judged before any payment.
Two reservations deserve attention before you commit anything sensitive. First, there is no GDPR framework whatsoever: the word appears nowhere on the site, hosting is US-only with no region option, and no Article 27 representative, DPA or sub-processor list is published. Second, the license granted in section 2.e of the user agreement covers using, modifying and adapting your Inputs to improve the service, and no training opt-out is documented; whether models learn from your content is simply not stated. A third point of caution: M-NOTE and RobotMemo are showcased on the site although neither has shipped, and the Pro and Ultra plans already bill M-NOTE recording minutes.
Credit where it is due: MyMemo writes its own product limits in plain sight, publishes its prices with quotas, and lets you export the entire library as a zip file. Use it for personal or public material, keep regulated personal data out of it until the legal side is clarified, and check the current plan quotas before subscribing.
