I came across Memos, an open source and simple notes app you can host yourself some weeks back. I’ve also started to host a few other things on my HA NUC as add-ons as it’s quite convenient.
So first, I packaged Memos to a Home Assistant Add-on. You can find it and source code here: GitHub - nikopolv/ha-addons · GitHub
I’ve set up mine so that I have a custom domain for it via Cloudflare (there’s a Home Assistant Add-on for that as well). With the custom domain I have full online access to my notes server, but I can of course access it in my home network as well. I also gave my OpenClaw (running also as an add-on) access to my notes so I can ask it to write notes for me.
While at least for my note taking the app is very convenient in many ways, but it lacks offline support. Which I’ve found to be important for myself as I’ve been travelling a lot.
So I started a new project that at least for now, is it’s own separate project.
Web app for Memos with a custom UI and offline support: GitHub - nikopolv/memos-offline-app · GitHub It’s still very much work in progress and I probably will selfishly develop it to a direction that best fits my own use, but feel free to use it if you find it convenient. Screenshot:
For development I’ve been hosting the UI in Vercel, but probably will setup HA add-on for this later as well.
