Color Coding & Markdown

Organize by urgency with Yellow, Purple, Cyan, and Amber stickies. Supports checklist bullets, code fences, and clickable HTTP links.

🔀

Device Continuity

Switch from your office desktop to your personal laptop — your pinned commands and notes are right where you left them on the remote desktop surface.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Can other users on the server read my sticky notes?

No. Sticky note files are created with strict POSIX permissions (chmod 600) owned by your user account, preventing other non-root server users from reading your notes.

Can I collapse or minimize stickies to save screen space?

Yes. Double-clicking the top title bar of any sticky note collapses it into a minimal title strip, letting you keep dozens of notes organized without cluttering your desktop.

Can I paste commands directly from sticky notes into the terminal?

Yes. Code blocks inside sticky notes have a 1-click "Run in Terminal" button that automatically executes the command in your active App 2: PTY Terminal window.
