Notes deck at the edge of the screen for Ubuntu / GNOME
LurkNotes keeps your notes on a narrow strip at the right edge of the screen — out of the way until you need them.
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.
