What's changing:
- Memex now syncs across unlimited devices and provides auto-backup to the cloud.
- Memex Go, our mobile app, now supports annotating websites on tablet sized mobile devices
- Effective immediately, we are cancelling all ongoing subscriptions and Memex can be used 100% free to use while Memex is in beta.
- You can support us with the Pioneer Plan that gives you 3 years of Memex subscription at a 60% discount, once we reinstate the subscription plans (Q1/2, 2022)
- Memex and Memex Go are still local first tools. To facilitate the backup, sync and collaboration functionality, we also have a Firebase backend.
- Changing our open-source licenses to the 'Source Available' license 'PolyForm Noncommercial License 1.0.0'., allowing free use and modification of the code unless used for building a commercial product out of it.

Why are we waiving your subscriptions?
With the launch of the multi-device sync, a substantial part of our infrastructure is new, our collaboration features are in an early state and generally Memex has a lot of rough edges. At this point we don't feel comfortable charging you for the Memex service.
Instead we want to work with you in the next 6 months to get Memex to a state where we feel like the price matches the value you'll get out of it.
What you need to do
- If you're using Memex already: Just follow the instructions on the dashboard on how to migrate.
- If you are an existing premium subscriber:
Your remaining subscription time is allocated as credits to your account. You'll be able to use them as soon as we'll charge subscriptions again.
What took us so long to build this sync?!
