dginxNotes

A lightweight sticky-note desktop app built with Electron, React, and Tailwind CSS. Keep your notes in a minimal, always-available window — with rich text formatting, floating note windows, and automatic saving.

Features

• Rich text editing (bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, headings, bullet & numbered lists)
• Markdown-style shortcuts — type # for H1, ## for H2, etc.
• Open any note in a separate floating window
• Pin floating windows to stay always on top
• Notes auto-save as you type
• Live sync between the note list and any open note windows

Installation

Download the latest release for your platform from the Releases page.

Platform	File
macOS (Apple Silicon)	.zip → extract and move dginxNotes.app to Applications
Windows x64	.exe installer
Linux x64	.deb (Debian/Ubuntu) or .rpm (Fedora/RHEL)

macOS — "app is damaged" warning

Because the app is not notarized, macOS Gatekeeper may block it with:

"dginxNotes.app is damaged and can't be opened."

After moving the app to your Applications folder, run this once in Terminal to clear the quarantine flag:

xattr -cr /Applications/dginxNotes.app

Then open the app normally.
