> ⚠️ Linux Support Notice
>
> A Linux version has been requested, but one is not planned. Pinny Notes is built using WPF, which is Windows-only. Even with a cross-platform framework, modern Linux desktops using Wayland do not allow applications to reliably set window positions or enforce “always on top” behaviour, both of which are core features of Pinny Notes.
