I still use Tomboy Notes synced with Nextcloud & Dropbox. It's ancient, but I've never come across anything else that does these things:

  • temporary sticky notes.
  • permanent sticky notes.
  • glorified clipboard buffer.
  • personal wiki.
  • light weight (no browser, database, or network required).
  • one small window per note.
  • optional categorization into notebooks.
  • desktop pkeyboard shortcut for searching notes or opening new ones.

I really hate web based notes. I want small quick responsive windows beside my browser.
