The best Supermemory alternatives

For people comparing document workflows, memory APIs, and deployment options.

Short answer

If you need memory and retrieval APIs, mem0 and Zep are relevant Supermemory alternatives. If you prefer maintained Markdown notes in folders, Hjarni provides a hosted document library with an official MCP server. Supermemory itself supports shared spaces, document updates, and editable drafts; human authorship and external AI access are available in more than one product.

  1. Hjarni Our pick

    A hosted Markdown note library with folders, team roles, and per-folder AI guidance.

    Hjarni has its own native apps. Free on every plan for iPhone, iPad and Mac and Android. Same account, same notes as the web. An internet connection is required.

    MCP: official, hosted (OAuth). People and assistants maintain versioned notes. Standard export includes active notes and attachments.

  2. mem0

    Memory APIs with configurable inference and direct verbatim import.

    MCP: official hosted MCP; separate self-hosted options. Inference can be disabled for direct import. Inspect the relevant tool and deployment rather than assuming all content is extracted.

  3. Zep

    Context services with graph retrieval, original episodes, and source traceability.

    MCP: official hosted Context MCP. Distinct from Graphiti. Configurable access and team plans serve different application needs.

  4. Khoj

    An open-source self-hosted assistant using configurable local or online models.

    MCP: MCP client; external server setup not documented in reviewed guides. Khoj Cloud closed April 15, 2026. Hosting, model, and integration costs depend on the deployment.

Which workflow are you replacing?

Supermemory offers memory and document APIs, hosted MCP, and shared spaces. Its MCP includes read, save, forget, and interactive editable-draft workflows. It is not limited to silently capturing material that a person cannot inspect or change.

mem0 and Zep are relevant when you want API-driven memory and retrieval. Hjarni fits when you want Markdown source notes, nested folders, edit history, and shared team roles. These are differences in the working interface and data model, not exclusive rights to human authorship.

Verify retrieval with your own material

Test each candidate with representative documents, permissions, and questions. A saved item being present does not guarantee a model will retrieve it for every prompt. Hjarni uses full-text search across notes and exposes the same notes through its UI and tools, but that architecture is not a guarantee that retrieval or model answers will always be correct.

Check hosting and export directly

Do not infer a storage region from a company’s headquarters. Supermemory documents plan-dependent deployment options, including self-hosting on higher tiers. Hjarni’s hosted notes run in Germany. Confirm the deployment, subprocessors, and contract that apply to your account.

Hjarni’s standard Markdown ZIP includes active notes and attachments. Supermemory exposes document operations through APIs; check the export format and any migration procedure you require rather than assuming a Markdown ZIP or complete app transfer.

When to stay on Supermemory

Keep Supermemory if its capture, shared spaces, APIs, and retrieval fit the work you do. Choose Hjarni if your preferred interface is a managed Markdown library with nested folders, folder instructions, and shared team roles for connected assistants.

Stay on Supermemory if

  • You want context captured automatically as you browse and chat
  • You want one product that is both a memory API and a personal app
  • Its documented plan and deployment options meet your needs

Switch to Hjarni if

  • You want Markdown source notes organized in nested folders
  • You want Markdown you own, with export anytime

Common questions

Common questions

What is the best Supermemory alternative?

Hjarni suits a maintained Markdown note library with shared team roles and attributed history. Developer memory services have other storage, retrieval and permission models. Supermemory itself provides human editing and hosted MCP, with its own storage and retrieval model.

What is Supermemory?

A memory platform with official hosted MCP, OAuth, scoped spaces, document APIs and user-facing controls.

Do both have an MCP server?

Yes. Supermemory documents search, reading, saving and forgetting through its hosted MCP. Hjarni exposes editable Markdown notes. Check available tool actions and permissions in the actual client.

Can people edit or export Supermemory content?

People can edit content through its interfaces and APIs, and document APIs can list and retrieve source content. Check whether that retrieval format suits the export workflow you need.

How do prices compare?

Supermemory uses credits and usage-related operations; tiers include different credits and features. Hjarni uses note-based plans and does not bundle model inference. Compare current limits and your expected workload.

Does either product guarantee recall?

No documentation comparison establishes perfect retrieval. Keep source references, test representative questions and review retrieved context. Hjarni’s full-text search and instructions do not guarantee every note is found or used.
