About Sticky Notes

Sticky Notes
The lightest, prettiest sticky notes app on Linux. No cloud, no nonsense
Sticky notes. That's it. That's the app. No cloud. No account. No "AI note assistant." No spatial canvas you have to pan around just to find your grocery list. Just outrageously pretty notes that stick to your desktop and then get out of your way. Oh, and the whole thing is about 28 MB installed — while the competition ships half an operating system just to show you a yellow square.
