Sticky Notes
by faridjaff
Spatial sticky notes canvas for Linux
About
Sticky Notes is a spatial canvas for organizing sticky notes into folders. Pan, zoom, and drop notes wherever they feel right on an infinite workspace. Link two notes together and the connection shows up as a dashed arrow on the canvas.
Features:
- Infinite pan-and-zoom canvas — your whole desk, at a glance
- Folders with colored badges, per-folder note counts, and a drawer that gets out of the way
- Three themes — Paper, Flat, and Terminal — for whatever mood the notes session is in
- Markdown bodies, link arrows between notes, color-coded folder badges
- Import notes from a photo using your own AI — snap your physical sticky notes and paste them straight onto the canvas
- Right-to-left language support, so notes in Arabic, Hebrew, or Persian read naturally
- Pinned notes that follow you into every folder
- Plain JSON storage you can read with cat, sync with rsync, or version with git
- Import and export your notes as JSON
- Keyboard shortcuts for the common actions, drag-and-drop for everything else
What it does not do: cloud sync, real-time collaboration, push notifications, or AI-generated insights. These are sticky notes.
