Gnote
A simple note-taking application Source
Description
Gnote is a simple note-taking application for GNOME desktop environment. It allows you to capture your ideas, link them together using WikiWiki-style links, group together in notebooks and some extra features for everyday use.
Notes can be printed or exported as HTML documents.
Gnote also supports synchronization, making it simple to use it on multiple devices.
Notice
GTK4/libadwaita since 46, mobile friendly. Opening past notes requires a double tap, and the settings menu is too wide. Other than that, the app is fine on mobile.
Previous Notice:
Scales well (reviewed release 40.1), only the settings menu does not fit the screen properly. But: Opening notes is tedious and requires the use of the enter key on the software keyboard.
Rating
Mobile Fit: 4Almost perfect, works fine with tweaks for scaling, like scale-to-fit gnote on on Phosh
