Memos: A Self-Hosted Note App That Actually Stays Out of Your Way
Open-source, markdown-first, zero lock-in. For builders who want their notes to belong to them.
usememos/memos ↗Memos is a note-taking app you run on your own server instead of trusting to someone else's cloud. Think of it like Apple Notes or Notion, but the files live in your infrastructure, not theirs. You write in markdown, which means your notes are portable text, not trapped in a proprietary format. It's built for speed—hit a keyboard shortcut, dump a thought, move on. No ads. No data harvesting. No sudden pricing changes. The tradeoff: you maintain the server. Worth it if you ship fast and want your system to scale with you, not against you.
