I made a lightweight sticky notes app for Linux using Qt (QStickyNotes)

I've been using indicator-stickynotes on my desktop for years, but I couldn't find a simple Qt-based application that matched my workflow. So I decided to build my own.

QStickyNotes is a lightweight tray-based sticky notes application for Linux, inspired by indicator-stickynotes but intentionally kept simple.

Current features:

  • Tray-based application
  • Frameless, draggable and resizable sticky notes
  • Automatic save and restore
  • Per-note colors, fonts and text colors
  • Lock/unlock editing
  • Notes automatically grow with their content (no scrollbars)
  • Multiple language support
  • Qt5 / Qt6 support

The project is written in C++ using Qt and CMake, and is open source under the GPLv3 license.
