Yes, memoria is free software, licensed under the AGPL-3.0.
You can download the latest Android version from the releases tab on GitHub at no cost. This is perfect for testing the app or if you're unable to make a purchase. However, please note that this version doesn't include automatic updates.
With that in mind, I would greatly appreciate it if you would consider purchasing the app on Google Play or the App Store, if you're able. Your one-time payment helps cover development expenses, app marketplace fees, and supports the ongoing growth of the project. Your support is essential for maintaining and enhancing memoria.
The app supports synchronization with any CouchDB-compatible databases, which can be either self-hosted or rented from a cloud provider.
In the ./database directory, you will find a sample configuration for a Docker installation.
Due to security policies enforced by modern Android and iOS platforms, the database address must meet the requirements for a secure context. This means the database must be accessible via a secure web request (HTTPS). Consequently, addresses within a home network are not supported.
