Allow automatic notes.json-reload when the file has been changed on disc

For android, there is a companion app to sticky notes, called "styncy notes":

In short: styncy note uses the same file format and look and feel as sticky notes.
The idea is to use e.g. syncthing to sync the notes.json file and to be able to check or edit sticky notes from an android device.

Currently, this works fine - in one direction only: I.e. I can sync and look at my sticky note from my android device.

However, if I update the note on android, the changes do not appear on the desktop after syncing.

• the file sync itself seem to work fine: the notes.json file is synced and the updated notes.json file can be opened, e.g. with a text editor on my Linux Mint laptop.
• I did not find a simple solution to reload the updated notes.json file.

Is there a way to trigger a reload of the updated notes.json file from the command line?

Would it be possible to add an option (opt in) to sticky notes to reload a file when the notes.json file has been changed?

Thanks a lot in advance.

Start by locating how the desktop app loads notes.json and whether it has command-line entry points for reloading. Done means an opt-in mechanism detects an externally changed notes.json and makes the updated notes available without restarting the app, or provides a documented reload command.
