Use Mnem with Apple Shortcuts
Automate your memory: Mnem ships Remember and Recall actions for the Shortcuts app, so anything on your Mac can flow into memory on demand.
What you get
- Remember, Recall, and Memory Status actions in the Shortcuts app
- Capture from anywhere — clipboard, selected text, dictation — with a hotkey
- No MCP client needed; actions run locally against your memory
Connect
Manual setup — a pasted snippet and about a minute.
-
Launch the app once
Open Mnem at least once so macOS registers its Shortcuts actions.
-
Find the actions
Open Shortcuts and search for “Mnem” in the actions gallery — you'll see Remember, Recall, and Memory Status.
-
Build a shortcut
For example: “Remember clipboard” — take the clipboard contents and pass them to the Remember action. Bind it to a hotkey via Shortcuts settings.
-
Verify
Run your shortcut, then ask any connected AI tool to recall what you just stored.
Troubleshooting
If the actions don't appear, launch Mnem once and reopen Shortcuts; macOS indexes app actions on first run. The actions execute entirely on your Mac — nothing is sent anywhere.
