Tomboy is often used forpersonal information management . The main principle is a notepad with a wiki-style interface. There is a main page in which the user puts all links to other pages. Words to pages that are notes automatically become hyperlinks, allowing for the management of large libraries of personal information, such as references to favorite artists that would then automatically be highlighted in e-mails containing their names.Features

Because Tomboy uses the Mono platform, it is possible to run some older Tomboy releases on a Windows operating system. However, it is still unstable and not all the plugins available on the
Linux version appear on Windows. The Tomboy development team is currently working on Windows support for the 0.12 release. [ cite web | url = http://live.gnome.org/Tomboy/Win32 | title = Tomboy/Win32 wiki page on GNOME Live ]See also
