LinSticky is a desktop sticky notes application designed for modern Linux environments. It provides a clean interface for capturing reminders, organising short pieces of information and keeping notes readily accessible.
The application follows GNOME’s design conventions, giving it an appearance that fits naturally alongside contemporary desktop applications. Users can create independent notes, change their colours and edit their contents without the complexity of a full notebook manager.
LinSticky preserves rich text formatting when saving notes. It also provides multilingual interface support and responds to the desktop’s dark theme preference. The application uses a different note storage format from its original implementation, so existing users should preserve their note contents before moving between the older and newer interfaces.
This is free and open source software.
