What you get

Keep your quick notes readable, organized, and easy to find.

Stickies gives you a place to jot down ideas, short lists, and information you want to return to. You can type and edit notes directly, then make them easier to scan with toolbar formatting or Markdown. Add images when text alone isn't enough, or use code highlighting to keep technical notes readable.

You can give notes different colors to tell them apart, rearrange them as your priorities change, and collapse notes you don't need to read right now. When you need something specific, search helps you find it without opening every note.

Keyboard shortcuts let you work through your notes with less mouse use, while a dark theme gives you another viewing option for late-night writing. You can also export notes to keep copies elsewhere and import notes when you need to bring them into the app.
