cd carrot-notes
npm install
npm run build

Built packages are output to src-tauri/target/release/bundle/.

Development

npm run dev

On GNOME + Wayland, dev and production builds use XWayland so always-on-top works without a shell extension.

Configuration

Notes~/.local/share/com.shakerbr.carrotnotes/notes.json
Settings~/.local/share/com.shakerbr.carrotnotes/settings.json
Sync folderUser-defined (contains .md files + carrotnotes_backup.json)

Environment variables

CARROTNOTES_NATIVE_WAYLAND=1Use native Wayland instead of XWayland. Always-on-top may require an optional GNOME shell extension.

Known limitations

  • Best tested on GNOME; other Linux desktops may differ
  • Cloud sync requires your own server — no official Carrot cloud
  • Desktop only — no mobile or web client in v0.1.0
  • Early release — issues and feedback welcome
