View guide →Memos — a personal timeline for quick notes: capture short memos in seconds, find them later by search, tag or date; open source and self-hosted
Memos is an open-source productivity project by usememos (usememos/memos on GitHub). It has 63,864 GitHub stars and 4,866 forks, is released under the MIT license, and was last updated on GitHub on 16 October 2026.
The README one-liner starts Memos on port 5230 with data in ~/.memos.
Visit http://localhost:5230, create your account, and write your first memo.
Pin the tab or install the PWA, use #tags inline, and let search and the calendar view do the organising later.
One box, no folders to choose, no title to invent — the fastest path from thought to saved note.
Full-text search, tags, pinned memos and a calendar/activity view surface old notes without a filing system.
A single Go binary or container and one database file; your notes stay on your hardware.
A documented REST API for automation, and accounts for family or small-team instances.
The README quick start.
docker run -d --name memos -p 5230:5230 -v ~/.memos:/var/opt/memos neosmemo/memos:stableCreate the first (admin) account here.
http://localhost:5230Everything the UI does is available over the REST API for scripts and shortcuts.
https://usememos.com/docsThe Memos open-source community (usememos/memos on GitHub). Not to be confused with MemOS, an unrelated memory layer for AI agents that is also listed on LibreAI.
Yes — MIT licensed and self-hosted; your only cost is the machine.
Memos optimises for capture speed and chronological retrieval — a timeline, not a notebook tree. Many people run it alongside a structured notes app, not instead of one.
Against Joplin or Logseq, Memos is dramatically simpler — no sync topology, no graph, no plugins — which is exactly its appeal for quick capture. Against a private Twitter/X account, it is the same shape with your data on your server.
docker run -d -p 5230:5230 -v ~/.memos:/var/opt/memos neosmemo/memos:stable, then open http://localhost:5230.
