Memos Has a Free Note-Taking App — Self-Hosted, Privacy-First Fleeting Notes

Memos is a lightweight, self-hosted note-taking service focused on quick capture.

What You Get for Free

• Quick capture — Twitter-like short notes with Markdown
• Tags — auto-extracted from #hashtags
• Full-text search — find any memo instantly
• Timeline — chronological feed of all memos
• Images & files — attach media to memos
• API — full REST API for automation
• Mobile-friendly — responsive PWA, works on phones
• Multi-user — authentication and permissions
• Export — Markdown export for portability
• Self-hosted — Docker, single binary, SQLite backend

Quick Start

# Docker
docker run -d -p 5230:5230 -v memos:/var/opt/memos neosmemo/memos:stable

# Access at http://localhost:5230
# Start typing memos — Markdown, #tags, images

Why Knowledge Workers Love It

Apple Notes syncs to iCloud. Google Keep is tied to Google:

• Self-hosted — your notes stay on YOUR server
• Markdown — proper formatting, code blocks
• API — automate note creation from scripts, bots
• Lightweight — 20MB Docker image, runs on anything

A developer used to send themselves Slack messages as quick notes — unorganized, unsearchable. After deploying Memos, every thought is captured, tagged, and searchable — a personal knowledge base that grew organically.
