Memos

Memos is a lightweight, open source note-taking service. It provides a simple timeline-style interface for capturing thoughts, links, code snippets, and Markdown notes — similar to a personal microblog. Notes (called "memos") are stored privately and can be tagged, searched, and pinned.

Getting Started

Launch a Memos instance from the OSC dashboard.

Prerequisites

• An OSC account. Sign up here.

Create a Memos Instance

Using the OSC dashboard

1. Go to Memos on OSC.
2. Click Create instance.
3. Fill in the Name field (alphanumeric, no spaces).
4. Click Create.

The instance URL is shown once the service is running.

Using the CLI

osc create usememos-memos mynotes

Default Credentials

When you first open Memos, you are prompted to create an admin account. There are no pre-set default credentials — you set the admin username and password on first launch.

1. Open the instance URL in your browser.
2. You will be redirected to the sign-up page.
3. Enter a username and password to create the admin account.
4. Click Sign up to finish setup.

Usage Example

Memos exposes a REST API for programmatic access. After signing in, retrieve your API access token from Settings → My Account → Access Tokens, then use it to create notes:

curl -X POST https://<your-instance>.auto.prod.osaas.io/api/v1/memos \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <access-token>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"content": "Hello from OSC!", "visibility": "PRIVATE"}'
