Notes that live
on your desktop.
PermaNotes pins rich-text sticky notes directly to your desktop layer - always visible, tucked beneath your open windows. No accounts, no sync, no telemetry. Just notes, where you left them.
Always on desktop
Notes sit on the desktop layer itself - visible on Win+D, hidden beneath your open windows.
Frosted glass notes
Rich text notes with adjustable opacity, styled with a soft frosted-glass finish.
100% offline
No account, no cloud sync, no telemetry. Your notes never leave your machine.
One file, no install
Ships as a self-contained executable. Download it, run it, done.
Built to stay out of the way.
PermaNotes uses the same desktop shell layer as your icons and wallpaper, so notes are part of your desktop instead of another window competing for focus. Press Win+D and they're right there.
