What you give up vs Evernote
- Designed for short notes/memos, not long structured documents or wikis.
- No nested page hierarchy, databases, or board views.
- No real-time collaboration.
- Limited rich formatting compared to block editors.
What you gain
- • Full data ownership — self-host Memos on your own infrastructure.
- • No per-seat SaaS bill (Evernote: repeated price hikes and device limits).
- • Open-source code you can audit and extend (MIT).
