Tomboy is a desktop note-taking application for Linux and Unix. Simple and easy to use, but with potential to help you organize the ideas and information you deal with every day.

Have you ever felt the frustration at not being able to locate a website you wanted to check out, or find an email you found interesting, or remember an idea about the direction of the political landscape in post-industrial Australia? Or are you one of those desperate souls with home-made, buggy, or not-quite-perfect notes systems?

Time for Tomboy. We bet you'll be surprised at how well a little application can make life less cluttered and run more smoothly.

Tomboy is currently in pre-release development, but you can still try it out. Tomboy is written in C# and utilizes the Mono runtime and Gtk#. Automatic spell-checking is provided by GtkSpell.

For Ubuntu, I was happy to find a .deb package of the latest version to date (tomboy 0.12.0) here. After installing you should restart your system .

Tomboy is also called "Desktop-Wiki". IMO this is right: It is perfect to sort all kind of information and link it to each other. With Tomboy you produce many small hypertexts - leading to one huge hypertext of many pages: a Wiki. I use it for collecting information on different terms for my phd - it is even fun
