Jottr is a simple, opinionated, plain text editor I developed primarily for my personal use. It's mainly intended for writers, researchers and journalists or anyone who needs a simple, distraction-free tool for writing. It's cross-platform and can be used on Linux, macOS or Windows. The app is released under the GPL v3 license.

It has the following features:

  • Dark, Light and Sepia (paper-like) themes
  • Focus mode - Distraction-free writing made easy by hiding all UI elements (can be toggled with mouse or a keyboard shortcut)
  • Search for any word without leaving the editor using the integrated web browser
  • Snippets - Save any word or block of text as snippets and quickly insert using mouse or through typing snippet name
  • User dictionary
  • Inline auto-completion for words added to user dictionary
  • Add custom search websites to your right-click menu
  • Custom font for editor
  • Zoom controls

RPM and DEB packages are provided at the project's github page.

Feel free to share your feedback/thoughts.

They are not as good as Google's especially for languages other than English.

But no Gboard means no voice typing :( I use that thing every day.

Same here. I'm a Cursor subscriber but I loked Windsurf better after using its free trial.

 

PortsInfo is a simple desktop app that shows a list of active network ports on your linux systems.

In other words, it shows you which servers are running on your computer.

It's a graphical equivalent of running netstat -plunt in a terminal.

The app supports quick search with CTRL+F shortcut.

Hopefully this will be useful to newbies and system administrators.

 

BootSelector is a tiny GUI utility for setting any grub menu entry as default.

It also allows you to reboot into any OS/kernel in your grub menu.

The initial version has been tested on the latest Ubuntu 24.10 and should work on other Debian-based distributions as well.

An RPM for fedora will be released soon after more testing is done.
