Gnote is a free andopen-source desktopnote-taking application written forLinux, cloned by Hubert Figuière fromTomboy.[2] It uses aWiki-like linking system to connect notes together. Gnote is part of theGNOME desktop environment, often filling the need forpersonal information management. The main principle is a notepad with a wiki-style interface. Words in the note body that match existing note titlesautomatically become hyperlinks, allowing for the management of large libraries of personal information, such as references to favorite artists that would then automatically be highlighted in notes containing their names.Plugins extend the program to include functionality like exporting toHTML and printing support. As of version 0.8.0, Gnote has been ported toGTK+3.
Gnote was created as a clone ofTomboy written inC++, to remove the dependency onMono. Its release caused a minor controversy when the creator was accused of having an anti-Mono agenda. This prompted him to explain that Gnote was written as an exercise in porting Mono applications and that it provides a note-taking application for environments that are unable to fit the Mono framework.[2] The program is included inFedora,[3] which dropped Mono from theLive CD installation disc, due to lack of space.[4]
Some Linux-compatible hardware platforms are not officially supported by Mono, and thus cannot run Tomboy or other Mono software. On these platforms and any other, Gnote can be used as a drop-in replacement for Tomboy.
Since version 3.5, Gnote has used GNOME version numbering scheme.[5]
