Tomboy-ng is a free, open-source note-taking application that continues the functionality of the original Tomboy Notes. It provides a lightweight environment for creating, editing, and organizing interconnected notes. Rich text formatting supports structured writing, while automatic linking connects related notes. Users can organize information into notebooks and locate content through integrated searching. Editing tools include spell checking, printing, and undo and redo functionality. Notes can be imported and exported in formats including plain text, RTF, and Markdown. Backup and snapshot tools help protect information from accidental changes. Synchronization works across Windows, macOS, and Linux, with optional private GitHub repository integration for accessing notes from other devices.
