Memo Forking copies any public memo into your own library inside 📝Memo Collaboration — the new copy is yours to edit, with a visible link back to where it came from. It exists so building on someone else's work doesn't mean starting from a blank page or losing the thread of where an idea began. It's for anyone who wants to remix, adapt, or build on public knowledge while keeping the source clear.
Key Capabilities
- One-click fork — copy a public memo's content and tags into a new, private memo in your own library
- Source attribution — a "Forked from" banner links back to the original memo and its author
- Fork count — the original memo displays how many times it's been forked
- Fork history — anyone can see who's forked a given memo and when
- Permission-aware — private memos can be forked by their owner or by permitted collaborators, not just public ones
Getting Started
- Open any public memo you want to build on
- Click the fork icon in the memo's stats bar
- You're taken straight into your new copy, private by default
FAQ
- Can I fork a memo I've already forked? No — you can fork a given source memo only once per account.
- Can I fork my own memo? Yes, nothing blocks self-forking beyond the one-fork-per-source rule.
- What happens to the fork if the original is deleted? The fork is an independent copy — deleting the source doesn't affect memos already forked from it.
- Is forking gated to a plan tier? No — it's open to any authenticated account.
