Tomboy is a small, freely distributed program designed to create short notes. The program is quite easy to use, but, despite the seeming simplicity, has a wide range of options. The functionality of the application is focused on the maximum convenience in working with the program. The key differences between the presented program and analogues include simple text formatting (changing the size, font color), the presence of a search system for notes, the ability to combine notes into sections. The latter feature is incredibly convenient when accumulating a large number of notes.

Besides, Tomboy has spell-checker, but for its normal operation it will be necessary to include a special package - aspell-ru. It is also possible to assign hotkeys for the most frequently used functions. Another useful feature of the program is the ability to synchronize notes with the Ubuntu One storage, or with any other cloud storage, or with a local folder.

One main benefit of using Tomboy software is its ability to conveniently organize, search, and sync a large number of notes.

- simplicity and ease of use;

- You can synchronize with SSH, WebDAV or Ubuntu One;

- a set of standard functions for text editing;

- the possibility of setting up hotkeys;

- an impressive number of settings;

- a large number of plugins that extend the program's capabilities;

- multiplatform and support for all versions of Windows.

Intuitive user interface for easy note-taking.

Supports text formatting and bullet lists.

CONS

Tomboy has helped me tremendously with note writing. It is extremely simple to use and functional, I am not the most tech savvy user but I can certainly use Tomboy very effectively. There are quite a few plugins that support Tomboys capabilities, which is a definite plus. The search system for notes has also proven to be very helpful in staying organized.

Tomboy is an incredible piece of software. It reminds me of a program that functions like never ending sticky notes and is incredible easy to use and bring pretty much anywhere. The application runs so smoothly, taking notes is so easy and saving the notes and pulling it up anywhere is even easier.

This software product brings a higher level to simple reminder applications. The ability to link notes together is something I have not encountered in applications such as this. Speaking of linking: the ability to paste actual website links to help organize your thoughts is an awesome ability. The table of contents within the app is useful when looking for specific apps so you won't have to scroll to find things. I would use this app instead of the one I have installed to my laptop now.

Tomboy is a great note-taking and organizing software. I've been using it for a few months and it's been really helpful. It's an easy-to-use and intuitive program that helps me keep track of my ideas and tasks. The note-taking feature is great, and I can easily organize my notes into categories and tags. The search feature is also really useful, allowing me to quickly find the notes I'm looking for. The ability to sync notes across my devices is also a great feature. I also like that I can share my notes with others. In general, Tomboy is a great note-taking and organizing tool.
