Tomboyis afree and open-sourcedesktopnotetaking appwritten forWindows,macOS,Linux,andBSDoperating systems. Tomboy is part of theGNOMEdesktop environment. As Ubuntu changed over time and itscloudsynchronization softwareUbuntu Onecame and went, Tomboy inspired variousforksand clones. Its interface is a word processor with awiki-like linking systemto connect notes together. Words in the note body that match existing note titlesbecome hyperlinks automatically,making it simple to construct apersonal wiki.For example, repeated references to favorite artists would be automatically highlighted in notes containing their names. As of version 1.6 (2010), it supports text entries and hyperlinks to the World Wide Web, but not graphic image linking or embedding.

Development of the original Tomboy software ceased in 2017. Starting in 2017 the development team rewrote the software from scratch, for ease of maintenance and installation, renaming ittomboy-ng.[4]Tomboy-ng is written inFree Pascal.[5]
