QStickyNotes Debuts: Qt’s Indicator-Stickynotes Twin

The first release of QStickyNotes

The first release of the note-taking program QStickyNotes has taken place, reminiscent in its capabilities of the application indicator-stickynotes, but written using Qt. The project code is written in C++ and distributed under the GPLv3 license.

Features implemented in QStickyNotes:

  • Creating a note through the tray icon or using the “plus” button on another note.
  • Deleting a note using the “cross” with confirmation.
  • Locking-unlocking input using a button with a padlock.
  • Support for binding default settings for new notes.
  • Similar to indicator-stickynotes appearance, the ability to drag the title and change the size in the lower right corner.

Among the differences from indicator-stickynotes: the ability to set the color and font of each note individually; storing notes not in one JSON file, but in a separate file for each note.

Not yet implemented: hiding/showing notes, export/import and collections.
