KNotes als Linux-Alternative zu Sticky Notes
Aktualisiert am
Unser Fazit
KNotes is a solid replacement for Windows Sticky Notes for users who already run a KDE desktop or want a lightweight note app that stays on top and can be dragged freely. It covers the core functions of creating, editing, moving, resizing, and color‑coding notes, and adds optional sync via KDE Connect and PDF export. It will work well for Linux users who need a quick, local note tool, but Windows users who rely on the built‑in Windows 10/11 Sticky Notes may find the KDE‑specific features unfamiliar.

Was anders ist
- KNotes saves notes as plain text or KDE note files, not the proprietary .xml format used by Windows Sticky Notes
- It does not support the exact same basic formatting (bold, lists) as Sticky Notes; formatting is limited to plain text or simple color changes
- Sticky Notes can be pinned to the desktop in Windows without any desktop environment; KNotes requires a KDE session to display notes as desktop widgets
- KNotes offers PDF export and KDE Connect sync, which Sticky Notes does not have
- Sticky Notes is part of the Windows OS and runs without extra dependencies; KNotes requires KDE libraries
Ihre Sticky Notes-Dateien öffnen
Sticky Notes stores its notes in a proprietary XML file located in the user’s AppData folder. KNotes cannot open these files directly. To migrate, you would need to copy the text from each Sticky Notes entry into a new KNotes note or export the Sticky Notes data to a plain text file and then import that text into KNotes.

Does KNotes support the same formatting as Sticky Notes?
KNotes supports plain text notes and basic color changes. It does not provide the same rich formatting options (bold, lists) that Sticky Notes offers.
Can I sync my notes across devices with KNotes?
Yes, if you use KDE Connect you can sync notes between your Linux machine and other KDE‑enabled devices. Otherwise, notes remain local.
Is KNotes lightweight enough for a minimal desktop?
KNotes is a small KDE application that only needs the KDE libraries it is packaged with. It runs well on most Linux distributions, including lightweight setups that include the KDE Plasma desktop.
