Better Stickies

Desktop sticky notes that stay visible while you work. Stick images, GIFs,
files, folders, or anything to your desktop. Fast and offline.

New in 1.4:
• Search is now a notes browser: every note as a card with a live
preview, and rename, hide, lock, export or delete it right there
• Bullet and numbered lists that nest with Tab and Shift+Tab
• Highlight text in six colors; underline with Ctrl+U
• Align lines left, center or right; set each note's text direction
• Colored code blocks: comments, strings and keywords, no setting needed
• Start Better Stickies when you log in
• Export a single note, named after its title
• Polish translation

Common Use Cases:

The Snap's sandbox rules out global shortcuts, playing sound clips
inside notes and KDE Activities. The AppImage has all three: https://betterstickies.com/download
