Xpad como alternativa Linux ao Sticky Notes
Atualizado em
Nossa avaliação
Xpad is a solid replacement for Windows Sticky Notes for users who need a lightweight, always‑on‑top note taking tool on Linux. It lets you create, edit, delete, move, resize and pin notes, and offers color and font customization. It lacks richer formatting (bold, lists) and any sync feature, so it is best for users who only need simple on‑screen reminders and prefer a native Linux package.

- Sticky Notes may offer a simpler UI for very basic notes, whereas Xpad adds color/font options
- Sticky Notes may have a Windows‑specific integration that Xpad lacks
Abrindo seus arquivos do Sticky Notes
The proprietary Sticky Notes format is not publicly documented, so Xpad cannot open or import existing Sticky Notes files. Users would need to manually copy the text from each Sticky Note into a new Xpad note. Exporting from Xpad is limited to plain text or clipboard copy, not the original Sticky Notes format.
