Hover the strip to unfold a fan of notes. Hover a tab to peek at its first lines, click to open the editor. Drag tabs to reorder the deck; edits autosave after 400 ms. Search filters the deck as you type, and deleting a note leaves a 10-second undo. Everything is stored locally in a single JSON file, with a backup and recovery for a damaged file. No account, no network, no telemetry. LurkNotes is a GTK4 application for Ubuntu 24.04 / GNOME 46. It runs as an X11 client under XWayland, which is what lets the deck stay above other windows, outside the dock and on every workspace. There is no native Wayland mode; an X11/XWayland session is required. ### Package name * lurknotes --- ### License * MIT --- ### Last updated * 11 November 2026 - latest/edge --- ### Websites * [aytpaev.com](https://aytpaev.com "https://aytpaev.com") --- ### Source code * [github.com/hoter/lurknotes](https://github.com/hoter/lurknotes "https://github.com/hoter/lurknotes") --- ### Report a bug * [github.com/hoter/lurknotes/issues](https://github.com/hoter/lurknotes/issues "https://github.com/hoter/lurknotes/issues") --- ##### Report a Snap Store violation * [Report this Snap](https://snapcraft.io/install/lurknotes/centos#report-snap-modal) --- [See more information about lurknotes ›](https://snapcraft.io/lurknotes) ## Enable snaps on CentOS and install Lurk Notes Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

The EPEL repository can be added to your system with the following command: ``` sudo yum install epel-release ``` Snap can now be installed as follows: ``` sudo yum install snapd ``` Once installed, the *systemd* unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled: ``` sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket ``` To enable *classic* snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between `/var/lib/snapd/snap` and `/snap`: ``` sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap ``` Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly. ### Install Lurk Notes To install Lurk Notes, simply use the following command: ``` sudo snap install lurknotes --edge ``` ### Other popular snaps… [See more...](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) [See more in Featured](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) ### More things to do… #### [Get the snap store](https://snapcraft.io/snap-store) Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap. #### [Learn more about snaps](https://snapcraft.io/docs) Interested to find out more about snaps?
