I’m always on the look out for good note taking apps and this one should definitely be added to the list. Memos is a light weight and fast note taking app that allows the use of tags, a text search and the ability to search by date via a calendar.

When you first spin up Memos you’ll be met with this fairly empty screen.
Once you click Sign in it will prompt you to create your host account. Then you’ll be logged in and see a lot more options on the screen. I’ve already created a few memos to show how it all looks and how easy it is to use.
In the timeline you can look through a calendar and pick out memos that you created during a specific time frame.
In the settings you have options to create access tokens, create new members, change storage location, and add custom CSS and Javascript.
