Modern sticky notes for Linux with native Wayland support.
Shareware Linux
PostNote is a modern, high-performance Post-it style sticky note app for Linux with native Wayland support. Inspired by the work of Umang Varma (Indicator Stickynotes), PostNote offers convenient management of multiple notes through a system tray indicator.
There are many polished Post-it style apps for Windows and macOS, but Linux Wayland has had far fewer native options in this category. PostNote was developed to fill that gap.
All resources are embedded in the binary for portability — download and run, nothing else to install.
Running natively on GNOME with Wayland, with full window position saving via the window-calls extension.
Classic X11 support with standard GTK window positioning. Works out of the box on any X11 desktop.
Manage all your notes from the system tray indicator — create, show, hide, lock, and organize.
Customizable colors and fonts per category. Note button designs can be changed to suit your preference.
Lock notes to prevent accidental editing. Unlock when you need to make changes.
Paste one small image into each note — perfect for quick visual references.
Ctrl+W to delete, Ctrl+L to lock, Ctrl+N for new note. Fast and efficient workflows.
Export and import your note data for backup or transfer between machines.
PostNote supports saving and restoring window positions on Wayland when using the window-calls GNOME extension.
