Memos is a timeline for quick thoughts, daily notes, and things you want to remember. No title or folder to choose before you write.

Memos stays open source with help from these sponsors.
Weekend read, bookmarking before I lose it. #reading/web
TIL you can diff a single file between branches, no checkout needed. #dev/til

A line or two is enough. You can add a checklist, a photo, a place, or a link to another memo when you need it. People you share with can react and reply.

Find
See a whole month at a glance. Every day shows what you wrote, and a click opens that day.
There are no folders to dig through. Every memo keeps its day and its place, so you can find it by when you wrote it, where you were, or what it says.

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