Memos

Self-hosted notes app for everyday thoughts, organized as a personal timeline

GitHub 64k Self-hosted Open Source MIT Web

Memos is a self-hosted note-taking app for short, everyday thoughts. Each memo stays with the day it was written, so your notes form a timeline you can look back through. It suits people who want a quick journal or idea log without a heavy notes system.

You can write one sentence or a longer entry in Markdown, add tags to connect related thoughts, and choose what stays private or is shared with others. Everything is kept in one folder on your own server. The README also lists a web clipper, a Telegram bot, and an API and MCP server for connecting your own tools. It runs with Docker and is MIT-licensed.

Quick start

For a quick try only. See the official docs for data volumes, environment variables and a production setup.

Docker image: neosmemo/memos:stable
docker run -d \
  --name memos \
  -p 5230:5230 \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  neosmemo/memos:stable

Then open http://localhost:5230
