About

A sticky note app inspired by the "stickies" app that comes with MacOS. I found it frustrating that it did not support md syntax, and had a ton of unecessary formatting options.

This app is not tested on windows or linux, so there may be bugs, but I don't forsee any problems getting it to work on either.

Features

  • uses a markdown text editor, compatible with github-markdown syntax ([ ] to make checkboxes)
  • customizable colors and a large default color palate
  • minimal and unobtrusive sticky note appearance
  • autosave, notes persist after quitting and reopening the app
  • easily move, navigate, resize, and set colors of notes with keyboard shortcuts
  • automatic updates, only install once and benifit from further updates

Installation

Macos

I do not have an apple developer account, so the installer is not signed/notarized. download the .dmg and run xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /path/to/dmg.dmg to allow it to be opened

App Specific Keyboard shortcuts

Default editor shortcuts (Cmd+X, Cmd+V, Cmd+C) are enabled

Command Action
Cmd + Q Quit the application
Cmd + W Close currently focused note
Cmd + N Create new note
Cmd + / Focus next note
