Notes is a simple and minimalistic note-taking application. It’s a free and open source cross platform app. It offers a simple writing pad for entering plain text, without any style. It can be used for anything – writing short notes, poems, todo list, ideas or long articles/essays etc.
Notes is build using Qt framework (an open source cross-platform toolkit), inspired by the default notes app from Mac OS X (Yosemite). Although, I find the Mac like icons (minimize, close, maximize) little odd as it doesn’t look blended with XFCE desktop, but I like the simplicity and elegancy of app.
