# Memos

**Your thoughts, your data, shared on your terms.**

Memos is a timeline for your notes, and it belongs to you. Write in Markdown, post in seconds, and choose who sees each memo: just you, the people you invite, or anyone with the link.

**[Run with Docker](#quick-start)** · **[Try the live demo](https://demo.usememos.com/)** · [Read the docs](https://usememos.com/docs)

## Why Memos?

- **Write first** — Save a thought without choosing a title or folder. Memos are written in Markdown and can include images and files.
- **Find it later** — Search, filter by tag, or look back through any day on the timeline. Pin what matters and save the filters you reuse as views.
- **Yours to keep** — Self-host Memos with [zero telemetry](https://usememos.com/features/data-ownership), [MIT-licensed source](LICENSE), and a full export of your memos.
- **Share when you choose** — New memos are private. Make one visible to signed-in users or public when you want to share it.

## Quick Start

Run Memos with Docker:

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

Other install options are in the [deployment guide](https://usememos.com/docs/deploy).

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](https://github.com/usememos/memos/releases/tag/v0.31.0) successfully.
See the [upgrade requirements](store/migration/README.md) for earlier versions.
