All features

Memos feature

WIP

Move your memos between instances

Upload a Memos export, check the preview, and choose how to handle memos that already exist.

Import a Memos export ZIP into your account on another instance. Imports from other note apps are not supported.

Planned outcomes

What this feature is intended to change.

These outcomes describe the current product direction, not a promise of complete behavior in a released build.

  • Imports Memos export ZIPs, including older memos-archive files

  • Validates the file and shows a preview before creating or replacing memos

  • Choose to keep yours, replace, or create a copy when a memo already exists

  • Restores attachments, relations, and comment threads when their targets resolve

  • Matches Spaces you belong to by ID, then by name

  • Reports created, updated, skipped, and failed memos, with warnings

Intended uses

Where it is meant to help.

Moving Instances

Take your memos from one Memos server to another.

Merging Accounts

Import an export into an existing account and keep or copy matching memos.

Restoring Your Memos

Restore your own memos from a personal export. Instance backups use the database and storage instead.

Planned technical scope

The implementation direction.

  • Memos Export Format: Markdown content plus JSON metadata

  • Existing memos matched by ID, not by text

  • Accounts, settings, access tokens, and share links are not transferred

  • Other apps' exports and loose Markdown files are not supported

Development

Follow the feature in the open.
