Memex v2 Updates: Grid view + search filters + bulk edits

Before Christmas we rebuilt Memex from scratch and are quickly catching up to the old feature parity plus long awaited improvements (& minus some intentional removals like sharing/collaboration - for now)

We’ve done too much in the past, leading to bloat, complicated UX and hard to maintain code base. You felt it: things were buggy, slow and some features immature.

Now we focus on one workflow: Summarize & capture valuable content and make full use of it in other tools via MCP/API/Integrations. (2min video overview)

PS: All existing subscribers, please reach out via the chat so I can migrate you over. Your existing data will be moved over once we stabilise the Memex v2.

Memex v2 features

  • Capture & highlight websites, YouTube, Twitter, Reddit, LinkedIn, Images, (soon PDFs again)

  • Full Text Search & AI/semantic-search

  • Summarize & Chat with anything with Cursor-like interface to custom load context with simple @mentions

  • Query all Memex data via MCP endpoints for seamless integrations into ChatGPT/Claude/Gemini and agentic workflows.

  • Lightening fast and reliable sync (old one was homegrown, now Firebase’s offline sync)

  • Credits based pricing model that allows flexible use of all features, and varying degree of usage frequency and intensity. Starting at $6 per month or $10 one time-pay-as-you

New updates this week

Grid view + filters for tags/time/type and date sorting in search results

I think the grid view was one of the longest running feature requests in the old Memex, ever. Now its finally here.

Bulk Edits

Now you can select multiple search results and either tag them, add them to the ai context, or delete them. You can do multiple searches and fill up a “bucket” of items, review them and then act on them. Also you can cmd+click to select specific items or shift+click to select a range. You can even drag select items (+shift to unselect or +cmd to replace)

Quality of Life Improvements

  • Adding support for saving Twitter articles & Fix fetching of long tweets

  • Improve speed of YouTube snapshot creation

  • Renaming tags

  • Adding/removing tags to search result items

  • Show confirmation button when trying to delete a search result

  • Annotation view for all annotations on a given page, without having to go to that page

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed title extraction for YouTube videos when you came from the channel

    • Turns out YouTube is super finicky with the title setting - and was one of the reasons this was poorly working in the old Memex.

What’s next:

  • Mobile App

  • Auto-tagging

  • Obsidian export
