I use the default “Notes” app that comes with Mint Cinnamon. If you don’t have it they have it in the software manager repository. I pin it to my panel so it is always right there on the bottom handy. :)

But you have to make sure it is the old Notes version, the newer one that comes with Mint 20.2 and up sucks big time. They took a good thing and ruined it. Can’t even minimize it and drop it out of the way like the old one.
