Features

  • Capture quickly — A timeline-first interface keeps note-taking simple: open, write, and move on.
  • Own your data — Self-host Memos on your infrastructure with no telemetry.
  • Deploy anywhere — Run a single Go binary or Docker container with SQLite, MySQL, or PostgreSQL.
  • Integrate freely — Build on the REST and gRPC APIs or adapt the MIT-licensed source to your needs.
