💡 Why FlareMo?

Second brains have always come with a server: a VPS bill, Docker, PostgreSQL, a backup script, and the quiet dread of a dead disk.

FlareMo asks a different question: what if your second brain needed no server at all — and your AI agents could work directly on your notes?

• AI-native, not bolted on: A notes MCP endpoint plus the flaremo-notes skill lets Claude, Cursor, Codex, ChatGPT and ZCode search, read and write your own notes. No separate AI memory store, no second notebook to curate.
• Truly serverless: code and static assets run on the Cloudflare Workers edge node nearest you; D1 and R2 hold notes, tasks, articles and media with multi-region durability.
• Knowledge that grows: a quick note becomes a task, a task becomes an article, and the whole thing settles into a searchable, linked knowledge base.
• Quiet for one, useful for a team: private by default; turn on team mode for a shared space with roles and three-tier visibility.
• Minimal, never shallow: the interface stays quiet and every control earns its place.

✨ Key Features

1. Instant Capture & Inspiring Review

• Capture in milliseconds: Card-style timeline, tags, Markdown/GFM, and previews for image and audio attachments.
• Notes and articles: The composer stays a quick note (tags, up to 9 images, bold, lists, to-dos); “Write full screen” opens the same note in a full-screen canvas. Articles are written from the Articles page.
• Comments under the note: Comment on any note, in your personal space or the team space, Weibo-style. Comments live under the original note and stay out of the timeline, search, stats, tags, and review.
• Lightning-fast search: SQLite FTS5 full-text indexing with query operators (has:attachment, is:pinned, before:YYYY-MM-DD, after:YYYY-MM-DD, in:timeline|archive|trash).
• Semantic “Find” (Vector Search): Workers AI embeddings paired with Vectorize derived vector indexes for contextual recall; re-verifies permissions against D1 and seamlessly falls back to FTS5.
• Thought activation: Built-in Daily Review (on this day), Random Walk (wandering through tag and backlink graphs with postcard summaries), and related note recommendations.
• Revision history: Full version diffs and one-click historical restore.

2. AI Works on Your Notes (MCP + Skill)

• Notes MCP: /mcp exposes list, search, read, create, update and delete over your memos, authenticated with a revocable memos_pat_ token.
• One skill: skills/flaremo-notes teaches every agent to search before writing, keep your wording, and return the memo ID it touched.
• No separate memory: agents read your notes on demand; nothing is auto-extracted into a second ledger.

3. To-dos & Projects

• Schedule a note: Pick a day and a project for a note; each unchecked to-do in it becomes a task. Checking it off in the note or on the to-do page stays in sync both ways.
• One to-do page: /projects shows Today, Next 7 days, and All tasks as day-grouped lists, plus your projects as kanban boards (drag between status columns, priorities, manual order). Every list has a quick-add row.
• Personal by design, reversible deletion: Tasks belong to a single owner; deleting moves them to a recycle bin until restored or automatically purged.

4. Reminders & Time Horizons

• Badges where you read: Scheduled notes show “to-dos n/m · date · project” on the card, and Daily Review opens with today’s to-dos.
• Time horizons at a glance: The explorer home view pairs a mini month calendar with overdue/today reminders, so what’s due never hides behind the board.
• Due and overdue reminders: A daily job raises “due today” and overdue notifications in the app, with optional browser Web Push. Schedules are day-level; there are no clock-time alarms.

5. Team Space & 3-Tier Visibility

• Sharing, not collaboration: The team space is where members publish notes to each other and comment on them. @username mentions autocomplete in the team composer and notify the person mentioned; notifications open the original note at its comments.
• Role governance: owner, admin, and member roles. Admins invite members via one-time activation links (members choose their own passwords; admins never handle plaintext credentials).
• 3-tier visibility:
  • 🔒 Private: Only author can view.
  • 👥 Team: Shared read-only with active team members.
  • 🌐 Public: Anonymous read-only via time-limited share links.
• Safe offboarding: Removing a member triggers reliable background cleanup that purges private data while preserving team and public notes.
• Reader seats: Grant a time-boxed read-only seat — guest readers, course cohorts, client delivery. Seats lapse automatically at their expiry (fail-closed at credential resolution, no cron needed). Manage them from the members page, or provision by email through PUT /api/app/admin/team/reader with a Personal Access Token (see docs/team-mode.md).

6. Offline First & PWA Experience

• Installable PWA: Install to macOS, Windows, iOS, or Android home screen with native feel.
• Reliable offline sync: Drafts save locally instantly. Offline submissions and uploads queue up and replay automatically when connectivity is restored.
• Live voice input: The composer’s microphone button streams speech-to-text (ASR) into the draft as you speak.

7. Secure Better Auth Application Security

• Better Auth powered: HttpOnly, SameSite=Lax browser cookie sessions; revocable memos_pat_ Personal Access Tokens for scripts and MCP.
• Strict Origin protection: State-changing requests enforce exact origin whitelisting. Cloudflare Access remains available as an optional outer defensive perimeter.

8. Your Data, Always Yours

• One-click full export: records, attachments, tasks, projects, articles and share relationships in a single bundle you can archive offline whenever you want.
• Imports that leave nothing half-written: choose to skip or duplicate on conflict; a failed import rolls back completely instead of leaving a half-written dataset.
• Bring your history with you: a bundled converter turns an existing export into a FlareMo import bundle, keeping timestamps, tags, pins and visibility (migration guide).
• Open by protocol: an /api/v1 compatibility layer with revocable Personal Access Tokens, plus MCP for AI tooling; the exact supported surface is in the compatibility matrix.

9. Plugin System: Cards as Plugins

• Five built-in cards: Plain, Daily, Ticket, Postcard, plus a canvas-drawn Postmark demo.
• Store and curation: browse directories, one-click install (SHA-256 verified), enable/disable, reorder, set the default, hide — all in account settings. The official directory lives at flaremo.app/plugins.
• Upload your own: admins can install a local package — it exists only on that instance and is never sent anywhere.
• Authoring tools: pnpm plugin:new scaffolds, pnpm plugin:check validates with the exact rules instances enforce on install, pnpm plugins:build packages. Document cards are pure JSON layouts; sandbox cards run your own HTML/CSS/JS. See the plugin guide.
• Safe by default: cards run in an opaque-origin sandbox with no network access; community and brand packs stay off until an admin enables them.

📊 How Generous Is Cloudflare’s Free Tier?

Many assume “free” means “severely limited”. For text-heavy personal knowledge bases, Cloudflare’s free quota is virtually inexhaustible:

🥊 Comparison: Cloudflare Native vs Home NAS vs Traditional VPS

🚀 5-Minute Quick Deployment

Method 1: One-click Deploy to Cloudflare

Clones the repository into your GitHub account and provisions D1, R2, Queues, and Vectorize automatically. After the initial deploy, set FLAREMO_PUBLIC_URL and secrets (see docs/en/deploy.md). If the first attempt reports “Github API Limit Exceeded”, wait a few minutes and retry.

Method 2: GitHub Action (self-hosted fork)

On your fork, copy docs/templates/workflows/deploy-cloudflare.yml into .github/workflows/, then run Deploy to Cloudflare from Actions to provision resources, publish the Worker, and sync auth secrets. Pushes do not publish. See docs/en/github-action-deploy.md.

Method 3: Deploy with an AI Agent (Recommended)

Give the repository to an agent capable of executing terminal commands (e.g. Claude Code, Cursor Agent, Codex) along with docs/en/agent-deploy.md:

“Please deploy FlareMo to my Cloudflare account following docs/en/agent-deploy.md.”

Method 4: Manual 3-Step Deployment

1. Create Cloudflare Resources

pnpm exec wrangler whoami
pnpm exec wrangler d1 create flaremo
pnpm exec wrangler r2 bucket create flaremo-attachments

Or run pnpm provision:remote instead: it creates the missing D1 / R2 / Queue / Vectorize resources and writes the D1 database_id into wrangler.jsonc for you. It is idempotent — existing resources are skipped.

2. Configure Settings & Secrets

cp wrangler.jsonc.example wrangler.jsonc

Fill in the generated database_id and set FLAREMO_PUBLIC_URL to your production domain. Then set secrets:

pnpm exec wrangler secret put BETTER_AUTH_SECRET --config ./wrangler.jsonc
pnpm exec wrangler secret put FLAREMO_BOOTSTRAP_SECRET --config ./wrangler.jsonc

3. Deploy

pnpm deploy:dry-run
pnpm deploy

(The full pnpm verify gate runs only when the maintainer explicitly asks for it.) Visit your production domain at /setup and enter the FLAREMO_BOOTSTRAP_SECRET to initialize your Owner account.
