About Sticky Notes

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.
