I totally agree. I feel like as information workers we especially feel the pain of memory. I know mine has been more strained since I've grown older, and I'm just looking for apps to help offload it. I'll add that I think that the working memory part gets hurt on a day-to-day thing, because multitasking, tabs, and the sheer amount of "stuff" hurts my ability. I think most apps do a pretty good job at long-term memory, but there's still some problems with retrieval, and I just "have to learn" the best way of finding that doc I wrote where I described process X. Probably with better NLP things will get better, but they're not there yet.
*Slight plug. I built a side project that tries to get at the early stage of the "working memory" part. I do a lot of short-term remembering during the day - taking calls, reading docs, or flipping between tabs. I made this chrome extension that adds notepad in your tab, so you can toggle, make scratch notes, toggle off, before you commit stuff to your notion/google doc/etc.
