Jorts is a sticky notes app designed for elementary OS but runs on any Linux distribution.
Some of the code (and the aesthetic) was from original work by Lainsce. Jorts is a fork of an older version of Notejot from a time before new additions broke NoteJot for elementary OS 8.
This is free and open source software.

- Cute: Each new note has a funny or cute random (editable) title.
