This is a simple UI to manage notes on your desktop. While there are many Notes taking Apps out there, I didn't find anything simple enough on the desktop.
Features:
- Simple UI. Fire up the App and start writing plain text notes
- Cross Platform. Written with JavaFX and runs on Windows,Mac and Linux
- Attach arbitrary files to a Note
- Include notes to each attachment
- Note Text, Attachment file names and attachment notes are all searchable
- You do not need Java installed on your desktop to run it (See Below)
Internals:
It's written in Kotlin. Uses Java FX, JDK11 and Lucene internally. In order to build it, you'd need JDK 11 installed. Build Steps:
- Install JDK 11 in a directory (eg c:\jdk11)
- set JAVA_HOME=c:\jdk11
- set PATH=%JAVA_HOME%/bin;%PATH%
- gradlew runtime
- the runnable image is built in build\image
Running the Image:
- Once built, simply execute run-cmd.bat from Windows command line OR goto download prebuilt zip file and follow instruction to download and run the prebuilt zip file.
