Pystickynote

seeing a lot of tools like this that help with doing things 'local' on your machine, i think we will see a massive push towards this stuff over the next few years as we get fed up with monthly subscriptions -- command line ftw.

Pystickynote creates a small QT window for you to jot your ideas down and then display them later on all with a command line tool. On top of that, the note itself is fully customizable allowing you to change colors, alpha, and borders.
