FAQ ​

1. Which platforms does MemoFlow support? ​

Supported now: Android / Windows

In development: iOS / macOS

2. Can MemoFlow be used offline? ​

Yes. MemoFlow follows a local-first flow:

  • Notes are written into local storage first, so saving does not depend on real-time connectivity.
  • After the network recovers, content is processed through the sync queue and sent to the Memos backend.
  • If sync appears stuck, check server URL, login mode, and current network reachability first.

3. Does MemoFlow read private user data? ​

No. Users sign in to Memos with account credentials or token, and account/note data is stored locally in the app context. Note content is sent to an AI provider only when the user explicitly runs AI Summary.

4. Does MemoFlow support multiple accounts or workspaces? ​

Yes.

  • You can separate work and personal records by account or workspace.
  • This is useful when one person manages more than one Memos context.
  • If you switch frequently, use a clear naming convention to avoid writing into the wrong space.

5. How can data be exported? ​

In the app, open Import / Export and choose export.

  • Supports time-range selection and archive inclusion.
  • Export format is fixed as Markdown + ZIP.
  • Output includes index.md, memos/*.md, and readable attachment files.
  • The app shows the local output path and supports one-tap copy.

6. How can data be imported? ​

In the app, open Import / Export -> Import.

  • Flomo import support: html/htm/zip.
  • Markdown package import support: zip.
  • Imported records are written to local library and queued for sync.
  • Duplicate checks are performed by file MD5 to avoid repeated imports.

7. What does app lock protect? ​

App lock helps protect local content, especially on shared devices or in public environments.

  • Local app lock and auto-lock timeout are supported.
  • Only app-lock related configuration is stored locally; plaintext password is not stored.
  • Before device replacement or migration, it is still recommended to export or back up your data.

8. How far can Version History restore? ​

Version History saves snapshots before key edits and helps with accidental edits, rollback, or attachment replacement.

  • Each memo keeps up to 10 recent historical versions by default.
  • You can preview a version first, then decide whether to restore it.
  • Deleting a full memo also removes its version history; if the entire memo was deleted by mistake, use Recycle Bin recovery first.

9. What must be configured in the new AI settings at minimum? ​

The minimum is just one item:

  • one working Chat model

A recommended second step is:

  • one Embedding model, so AI Summary can rely more on retrieved evidence instead of only direct reading.

Practical interpretation:

  • Chat determines whether AI Summary can start;
  • Embedding affects retrieval quality and analysis stability;
  • My Profile and custom templates are optional enhancements, not blockers.

10. What if AI Summary says "no relevant notes"? ​

This usually means no eligible content remains after filtering. Check in this order:

  • Expand the time range (for example, last 3 / 7 days -> 30 days or a custom range).
  • Include the visibility scopes you actually need (public / private / protected), not just the old private-only habit.
  • Confirm notes are already synced to local library (AI Summary reads local DB).
  • Empty-content notes are skipped; add body text and retry.
  • Confirm AI settings include at least one working Chat model; Embedding is optional, but recommended.
