Xpad como alternativa Linux ao Microsoft Sticky Notes
Atualizado em
Nossa avaliação
Xpad is a good replacement for Microsoft Sticky Notes if you want simple, always-on-top notes with color coding and basic formatting. It runs natively on Linux, starts quickly, uses few resources, and saves notes between reboots without requiring an account. Users who rely on cloud sync or advanced formatting may need additional tools, but for local, lightweight note-taking, Xpad delivers the core experience. It’s ideal for Linux users who want a no-frills, privacy-focused alternative that behaves like the classic Windows app.

Abrindo seus arquivos do Microsoft Sticky Notes
Xpad cannot open Microsoft Sticky Notes files directly. The two apps use different storage formats and locations. Microsoft Sticky Notes stores data in a proprietary format within the Windows app data directories, while Xpad saves plain text files with basic metadata in ~/.xpad/. There is no official converter tool. If you need to migrate content, you’ll have to manually copy text from Sticky Notes on Windows before switching, or use a cross-platform text editor as an intermediary.
