Usermemos
Memos, the lightweight open-source note service from the usememos project, packaged as a containerized deployment for multi-architecture Docker hosts (x86-64 and arm64): that is Usermemos. The model is frictionless capture: no folders or titles, just a chronological stream of Markdown notes with code blocks, task lists, tables, and file attachments, organized by #hashtags pulled automatically from the text. Per-memo visibility - private, protected for logged-in users, or public - lets a single instance serve as a personal journal, a shared team log, or a public microblog simultaneously. Multi-user support with authentication makes it workable for small teams, and full REST and gRPC APIs open capture and retrieval to CLIs, bots, and automation tools. The runtime is a single Go binary with a React frontend that idles around 50 MB of memory and stores content as plain Markdown in SQLite by default, with MySQL and PostgreSQL available for heavier deployments. Configuration happens through environment variables, access works over HTTP or HTTPS behind a reverse proxy, and there is no telemetry - notes stay on your server in a portable format.
Benefits
- Write First, Organize Never
- Notes file themselves through inline #hashtags, so capturing a thought costs one text box and zero decisions about where it belongs.
- One Instance, Three Uses
- Per-memo visibility turns the same server into a private journal, a protected team log, and a public microblog at once.
- Runs on Scraps of Hardware
- A single Go binary idling near 50 MB of RAM on SQLite - among the cheapest-to-operate note services you can host.
- Notes You Can Always Take With You
- Content is plain Markdown in a standard database with no telemetry and no proprietary format standing between you and an export.
