JKeep Desktop

Quick local notes — CustomTkinter + SQLite.

---

JKeep Desktop is the modular successor to JustKeep: a dark-themed desktop notes app with SQLite storage, pinned notes, rich text sizes, settings, optional todo popup, and a built-in update check.

Everything stays on your PC — notes.db in the working directory.
