A sticky notes app for Linux that doesn't look like it escaped from 2006

A sticky notes app for Linux (and macOS) that doesn't look like it escaped from a 2006 GNOME panel.

Features

  • Spatial canvas — pan, zoom, and drop notes wherever they feel right
  • Folders with colored badges and per-folder note counts
  • Three themes: paper (default), flat, terminal
  • Markdown bodies and dashed link arrows between notes
  • Pushpin notes that stay visible across every folder
  • Multi-select, drag-to-folder, copy / cut / paste with link preservation
  • Keyboard shortcuts for everything: Ctrl+N new note, Ctrl+X cut, Ctrl+Z undo, Ctrl+, preferences

What it does NOT do

  • Sync to the cloud
  • Collaborate in real time
  • Send notifications
  • Try to be more than sticky notes

Where your notes live

Locally on your device, in a plain JSON file you can read with cat. No accounts, no telemetry, no cloud. The only network call is a daily check for app updates.
