In the title compound, C10H14N2O3S, the 3-methoxyphenyl unit is almost planar, with an r.m.s. deviation of 0.013 Å. The dihedral angle between the benzene ring and the plane of the thiourea unit is 62.57 (4)°. In the crystal, N-H...O and O-H...S hydrogen bonds link the molecules into a three-dimensional network.
