KNotes als Linux-Alternative zu Microsoft Sticky Notes

Aktualisiert am

Unser Fazit

KNotes is a good replacement for Microsoft Sticky Notes for Linux users who want simple, always-on-top desktop notes with basic formatting and color coding. It handles the core tasks well: quick note creation, persistent storage, and minimal resource use. While it lacks native cloud sync with Microsoft accounts, its integration with KDE Connect allows cross-device sharing on Linux. It autostarts with the KDE session and stores data locally by default. Users not tied to Windows or Microsoft’s ecosystem will find it reliable and functional.

  • Supports always-on-top, movable desktop notes
  • Offers color-coded labels for visual organization
  • Persists notes across reboots automatically
  • Uses minimal system resources and starts quickly
  • Allows basic text formatting like bold and bullet lists

Was anders ist

  • No direct import of Microsoft Sticky Notes files

Ihre Microsoft Sticky Notes-Dateien öffnen

KNotes cannot open Microsoft Sticky Notes (.snt) files directly. There is no known converter tool to migrate .snt files to KNotes format. Users must manually copy text from Sticky Notes on Windows before switching. Once in KNotes, notes are saved in plain text or KDE's internal note format, which are readable outside the app but not interchangeable with Microsoft's format.
