About Memos
Memos is an open source, self-hosted note-taking app. It collects your everyday thoughts into a personal timeline, so you can write short notes and find them again by date or tag.
What it does
You write a memo as quickly as a text message, and it appears on your timeline. Tags help you group notes by topic, and a calendar view shows where your notes fall in time. Each memo can be kept private or shared, and shared notes can receive reactions and comments. Because you host it yourself, the notes stay on your own server.
Key features
- Quick notes on a personal timeline
- Tags to group notes by topic
- Calendar view of your notes
- Keep notes private or share them
- Reactions and comments on shared notes
Who it's for
Individuals who want a simple journal or idea log they control, and privacy-minded users who do not want notes stored by a third party. Small groups can also share selected memos with each other.
Pricing and good to know
Memos is open source under the MIT license and free to self-host. It is designed to be simple, so it does not try to be a full document editor. Back up the server regularly, since the notes live there.
