Indicator Stickynotes is a desktop sticky notes application developed for Ubuntu and related Linux distributions. It provides a simple way to keep reminders and short pieces of information visible while working with other applications.
The application integrates with the desktop’s indicator area, providing convenient access to note creation and management controls. Notes can be assigned different colours and organised into categories, making it easier to separate information according to subject or purpose.
Indicator Stickynotes also supports note locking and keyboard shortcuts for common operations. Import and export functionality provides a way to preserve note collections or transfer them between installations.
The application was developed primarily for desktop environments that support traditional application indicators. Its integration and behaviour may vary on newer Linux desktop environments.
This is free and open source software.
