# NoteBot

NoteBot is a clone of Microsoft Sticky Notes, without useless functionalities.

## Download

[Installer for Windows](http://downloads.fdossena.com/geth.php?r=stickynotes-win)

[Deb Package for Ubuntu, Debian, ...](http://downloads.fdossena.com/geth.php?r=stickynotes-deb)

[Binaries for other platforms](http://downloads.fdossena.com/geth.php?r=stickynotes-bin) (Requires Java)

## Website

[NoteBot](http://notebot.fdossena.com/)

## Features

* Stick notes on your desktop

* Can move, resize and zoom

* Custom colors

* Auto startup

* Support for high DPI screens and touch devices

## Lack of features

Sticky Notes became trash with the August 2016 update of Windows 10, which turned it into a "modern" app, and added useless and suspicious features like synchronization and telemetry. Therefore...

* Not a "modern" app: you can obliterate all Metro apps from your PC

* No taskbar icon: notes actually stick to the desktop

* No synchronization

* No telemetry

* Not even an auto updater

* No botnet: it's open source, you can trust this application

* And most importantly: no ugly Segoe Script font

## Compatibility

* Windows XP or newer

* Any platform supported by Java SE 7 or newer

 

## Usage

Import the projects into Netbeans.

_SETUP contains all the files used to build the Windows installer and the .deb package.

To build the Windows installer, you'll need [Inno Setup](http://www.jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php) and [launch4j](http://launch4j.sourceforge.net/).
