Open the page, write a Markdown note, move on - Memos is a lightweight, self-hosted service built for quick capture. Instead of folders, notebooks, and titles, it presents a timeline: open the page, write a Markdown note, and move on. Notes support headings, code blocks with syntax highlighting, task lists, tables, and file attachments, with tags auto-extracted from #hashtags in the text. Each memo carries a visibility level, private, protected (logged-in users), or public, so one instance works as a personal log, a small team wiki, or a lightweight microblog. The backend is a single Go binary with a React frontend, around 50 MB of memory at runtime and a ~20 MB Docker image, so it fits comfortably on the smallest instance size with near-zero maintenance. SQLite is the default store, with MySQL and PostgreSQL supported for multi-user deployments needing more concurrency, and full REST and gRPC APIs - Connect RPC for browsers, gRPC-Gateway for external tools - make capture scriptable from CLIs, bots, and automation platforms. Fast full-text search spans all memos, pinned notes keep references handy, and a masonry view suits visual browsing. MIT-licensed with zero telemetry; content is stored as plain Markdown in a database you control, so notes remain readable, exportable, and free of proprietary formats.

With over 36,000 GitHub stars and adoption by organizations including Adobe, Shopify, and Roblox, HashiCorp Vault is the industry-standard platform for secrets management, encryption services, and privileged access control across hybrid and multi-cloud infrastructure.
