What you get

Keep your ideas and to-dos within sight on your desktop.

Sticky Notepad gives you a place to put the thought, task, or detail you want to keep. You can create a note with one click, then pin it to your desktop so you can refer to it while you work. Your notes also appear together in one list when you want to revisit something you wrote earlier.

You can turn a rough memo into something easier to scan: use headings to separate topics, bold important details, or arrange steps in a numbered list. For everyday tasks, you can make a checklist rather than leave yourself an unstructured block of text.

You can choose from six note colors and adjust transparency to suit your desktop. Dark mode support lets your notes match your system’s appearance.
