An icon representing a stack of little squared blue sticky notes. The first one, and the second one hinted below, have scribbles over them

Jorts

Neither jeans nor shorts, just like jorts. A sticky notes app for elementary OS

Made for elementary OS

Several colourful sticky notes in a spread. Most are covered in scribbles. One in forefront is blue and has the text 'Lovely little colourful squares for all of your notes! 🥰'


🦺 Installation

You can download and install Jorts from various sources:

Get it on AppCenter Download on Flathub

On Windows: Grab the Exe installer in Release Not all releases have an exe, because bundling for Windows and testing it works is a HASSLE.

❓ Questions, building, etc

🛣️ The Future

The app is destined to stay simple. If anything there is already too much in the UI for my comfort, so do not expect /more/

Roadmap:

  • Fix an annoying memory leak where deleted notes linger in memory
  • Bin the whole saving infra and use Gtk 4.24 save-state new thing
  • More icon variants
  • Better list/bullets
  • Co-maintainers would be nice
  • More translations would be nice

💝 Donations

On the right you can donate to various contributors:

  • teamcons, the main devs and maintainers behind jorts
  • wpkelso, the author of the modern icon and its Pride variant
  • lains, the initial creator of the app (It was Notejot, now something very different)

💾 Notes Storage

Notes are stored in ~/.var/app/io.github.elly_code.jorts/data if from flathub, ~/.var/app/io.github.ellie_commons.jorts/data

You can get it all by entering in a terminal:

cp ~/.var/app/io.github.elly_code.jorts/data ~/

"saved_state.json" contains all notes in JSON format. The structure is quite simple, if not pretty.

The app reads from it only during startup (rest of the time it writes in) so you could quite easily swap it up to swap between sets of notes.

ON WINDOWS: It's in:

YourUserFolder \AppData\Local\io.github.elly_code.jorts

AppData is a hidden folder. Either you paste the above path in the path bar, from your user folder Or you do a "Show hidden files"
