Memos
Create, edit, organize, and manage the core content unit in Memos.
Memos are the central unit of content in the product. A good memo workflow keeps capture fast while still making notes readable and searchable later.
Core actions
- create a memo from the editor on the home page
- edit content inline
- pin important memos
- set visibility before sharing
- archive memos that are no longer active
What the editor supports
- Markdown formatting
- inline tags such as
#project-x - code blocks and checklists
- file attachments
- memo visibility controls
- slash commands (type
/for quick formatting inserts) - tag suggestions when you type
# - auto-saved drafts cached locally so content is not lost on page reload
Memo properties
Memos automatically computes properties from memo content. These can be used in filter expressions:
| Property field | Meaning |
|---|---|
has_link | Contains one or more Markdown links |
has_code | Contains code blocks or inline code |
has_task_list | Contains at least one task list item |
has_incomplete_tasks | Contains unchecked - [ ] task items |
Useful memo metadata
- visibility:
PRIVATE,PROTECTED, orPUBLIC - tags extracted from inline hashtags
- attachments such as screenshots and documents
- checklist items for lightweight task tracking
- display time — editable so you can reorder memos in the timeline if needed
Good habits
- keep each memo focused on one topic or update
- use headings when a memo gets long
- add tags while writing, not later
- archive stale memos instead of leaving everything active forever
- pin only the memos that truly deserve persistent attention
