Field notes
The page describes notes as plain Markdown, with images saved alongside the note and color and placement stored in a short header. It also details snooze options from three hours to a chosen date, plus recurring notes that return after being checked off. Live stickies can run commands on schedules or events; the homepage gives examples including calendars, reminders, and weather.
