Sticky notes. That's it. That's the app.
No cloud. No account. No "AI note assistant." No spatial canvas you have to pan around just to find your grocery list. Just outrageously pretty notes that stick to your desktop and then get out of your way.
Oh, and the whole thing is about 28 MB installed — while the competition ships half an operating system just to show you a yellow square.
Nice to look at
Nice to use
What it deliberately does NOT do
Where your notes live On your machine, in a plain local config file. No servers, no encryption ceremony, no "vault" to unlock — it's a sticky note, not a Swiss bank.
Free, tiny, and it does one thing properly.

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.
Snaps are discoverable and installable from the Snap Store, an app store with an audience of millions.
On Arch Linux, snap can be installed from the Arch User Repository (AUR). The manual build process is the Arch-supported install method for AUR packages, and you’ll need the prerequisites installed before you can install any AUR package. You can then install snap with the following:
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/snapd.git
cd snapd
makepkg -si
Once installed, the systemd unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled:
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket
If AppArmor is enabled in your system, enable the service which loads AppArmor profiles for snaps:
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor.service
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.
To install Sticky Notes, simply use the following command:
sudo snap install stickynotes-dabobroto
Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap.
