I thought I was going to be able to make good use of Zotero to keep work sorted, but dang - after last semester it's another digital doom pile.

Happy holidays, fediverse!

Hello world. I would love to find a MacOS/iOS ecosystem app that lets me put something like a sticky note or mindmap or something right on my desktop. Does that exist? Does anyone use it?
Want it running locally, I do not want to log in to miro or mural or such things if possible.
