Self-hosted alternatives to flomo

Flomo is a hosted app for capturing short notes as cards and reviewing them later, with tags, search and sync across web, desktop and mobile. One listed app does its main job and runs in your own Cloudflare account.

Each answer comes from the app’s README and source code, compared with the features flomo describes on its own site.

  • FlareMo timeline on desktop and phone with the note composer, a note with a highlighted quote, its tags, and counters for memos, tags and days

    Memos-style quick notes and a shared team knowledge base, with semantic search and long-term memory for AI agents

Memos-style quick notes and a shared team knowledge base, with semantic search and long-term memory for AI agents

What a flomo user would miss
It has no WeChat input and no native desktop or mobile apps; capture goes through the web app, an installable PWA, Memos-compatible clients and a Telegram bot that ships in the repository.
What it adds
Notes live in your own D1 and R2 on Cloudflare, with an optional team mode with roles and an Agent Memory hub that AI agents read and write through a CLI and MCP.
