Hemory is a phone app that listens to your day and turns what people said into a memory you can search. Start it by hand or on a schedule, say weekdays 9 to 6, on an iPhone, an Android phone, or an Apple Watch. The timeline splits the day into meetings, meals, work, and chit-chat, with speakers labelled by voice. A meeting gets minutes with decisions and action items. A lunch gets a light note. Ask the built-in agent what Daniel promised on Tuesday and it answers from the transcripts, in any of 100 languages. The same memory plugs into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or another MCP client with a read-only key. Audio is processed as a stream, and the raw file stays on the listening device. The trial is 10 listening hours once. Starter is $10 a month for 20 hours, Pro $20 for 60, and silence does not count. Desktop and web apps are still coming.
Granola, which we list, is for the meeting you scheduled. Hemory is for everything else: the hallway decision, the lunch where the deadline moved, the call you took while walking. The timeline on the homepage is the pitch, and it is the right one. The day is already sorted into a meeting, a meal, and a work block, and the agent answers "what did Daniel promise me" with a sentence and the session it came from. For a freelancer or a manager who loses commitments between meetings, that is a job no chat assistant can do, because ChatGPT was not in the room.
The cost is social, not financial. An always-on microphone records people who did not agree to it, and in much of Europe that is not a gray area. Use manual mode or a work-hours schedule, and tell people. The MCP pitch leans on developer tools like Claude Code and Cursor, so the built-in agent is the part most readers will actually use. There is no desktop app yet.
Best for people whose work happens out loud and off the calendar. Skip it if your conversations are mostly scheduled calls, where Granola is enough, or if the people around you would object to being recorded. Ask them first.
