I’m looking for an alternative to MS Sticky Notes. I like stick notes, but it doesn’t sync with Android and allow for a note to be pinned to my home screen.

I’d like a FOSS version, but not married to it. I don’t mind self hosting if I need to. I’m testing out Notezilla and I’m not sure I want to pay the $30 for it without knowing what else is out there.

Thanks!

Summary.

  1. Windows app that syncs with Android.
  2. Notes stick to desktop.
  3. No subscription fee.

    What do you define as “sticky note”?

    You could use Standard Notes and leave the window open. It syncs between desktop and Android.

    I switched to something else a long time ago, but because I preferred FOSS, not because it was a bad app.

      I tried it out for a while and I ended using Notesnook a while back when I was looking for some other note taking app. It was so close to being the thing I wanted to use, but it doesn’t render markdown while typing.

      A sticky note would stay on the desktop. And could be “pinned” on top of other apps. It would have to take up a small amount of the screen and not be browser based.
