Notebubble
Notebubble is a fast and no-frills way to store your thoughts, pending tasks, ideas, and more. If you've ever used an instant messaging app as a place to store information, Notebubble is exactly what you need—a simple and efficient place to drop any kind of information you deem useful.

What Notebubble is NOT
- An instant messaging app: Notebubble is solely for note-taking and organization.
- Internet-dependent: The app works entirely offline, ensuring your notes are always with you and secure.
Portability
On Windows
By default, Notebubble is portable. The database storing your notes and the configuration resides in a folder alongside the executable file. You can move the database to another location (e.g., an external drive or a cloud storage folder) from within Notebubble configuration, but doing so will lock the application to that location, breaking the portability feature.
On Linux
Currently, portability is not supported. The database is stored by default in:
home/.local/share/notebubble
But you can move the database somewhere else.
