Memos

Fast enough for every thought. Private enough for all of them.

Memos is an open-source, self-hosted home for short-form thinking. Daily notes, links, work logs, and snippets flow into a chronological Markdown timeline—on infrastructure you control, without the overhead of an all-in-one workspace.

Why Memos?

  • Capture quickly — Write in Markdown, attach media, and save without choosing a title, folder, or template.
  • Organize lightly — Revisit notes through the timeline, search, tags, and pins.
  • Share selectively — Keep memos private or publish only what you choose.
  • Keep control — Self-host Memos with zero telemetry and MIT-licensed source.

Quick Start

Run Memos with Docker:

docker run -d \
  --name memos \
  -p 5230:5230 \
  -v ~/.memos:/var/opt/memos \
  neosmemo/memos:stable

Other install options are in the deployment guide.

Releases use YY.MM, with optional point releases such as 26.09.1 and release candidates such as 26.09-rc.1. Calendar release tags have no v prefix. The Docker stable tag follows stable releases; canary follows development builds. If upgrading from a release before v0.31.0, run v0.31.0 successfully. See the upgrade requirements for earlier versions.

Web Clipper

Save pages, selections, and images from your browser straight into Memos as source-linked Markdown. Get the Memos Web Clipper for Chrome or Firefox.
