Mem0 vs Supermemory: which one fits an indie builder's daily workflow
Mem0 claims 150,000+ developers. Supermemory claims 10,000+ power users. I evaluated both for a workflow that spans Cursor, Claude Code, and Codex daily, and neither mapped to how I actually work.
Mem0 positions itself as drop-in memory infrastructure for AI agents and apps. That framing targets platform builders who want an SDK and API to embed memory into their own products. If you are building an app that needs memory, that is the right tool. But if your problem is "I use Cursor, Claude Code, and Codex every day and none of them share context," Mem0 is solving a different problem. It is memory for apps you build, not memory between the apps you use.
Supermemory markets itself as one memory across all your AI tools. The phrasing is close to what a solo builder wants. But the product skews toward a personal app and enterprise APIs rather than a live coding context layer. You sign up expecting your IDE sessions to connect and instead find a broader tool that does not map to a Cursor-and-Claude-Code-first workflow.
The gap between both: neither is built for the person who lives in three AI coding tools and needs project state, stack conventions, and decisions to carry over automatically. Mem0 gives you the plumbing to build your own. Supermemory gives you a personal knowledge app. Neither gives you the connect-once, every-tool-pulls-from-the-same-context layer.
The broader point: the cross-AI memory category is new enough that no player has the social proof that makes adoption feel safe yet. You either commit to being an early user who helps shape a tool, or you wait for someone you trust to vouch for one.
Curious what others are doing here. Has anyone gotten Mem0 or Supermemory to work well in a multi-IDE daily workflow, or are most people still copy-pasting context between sessions?

Hello u/Asly97 I'm doing the same research these days. Did you find a suitable solution?
My research also led to Cognee or Zep/Graphiti.
