Linux has many desktop applications that make the system more and more usable, and more and more people can feel comfortable with it. So today, I will show you how to install FeatherNotes on Debian 11. This note-taking application can become a great ally for our work with the system.
What is FeatherNotes?
According to the GitHub profile of the tool.
FeatherNotes is a lightweight hierarchical Qt note manager for Linux. It is independent of any desktop environment.
Of course, FeatherNotes is an open-source application that is released under the GPL3 license, which means we can use it and audit the source code of the application.
It is incredibly fast and efficient because it is programmed in C++ with the QT graphics library. In addition to this, it has several features that make it critical such as:
- Support for rich text formatting, image embedding and insertion of editable tables.
- Drag and drop capability for moving nodes and also for embedding images.
- A tray icon for quick access on any desktop.
- Save and restore correct position/size with most window managers;
Compact but comprehensive search and replace widgets. - The ability to include search tags (hidden information in each node).
- Support for optional node icons.
- Support for local and remote hyperlinks (bookmarks).
- Text zoom.
In addition to this, we can protect our notes with a password and then export them in PDF and HTML format.
As we have seen, it is a very complete application.
