Stickies
Sticky notes for your desktop


Stickies is a PC utility I wrote to try to cut down on the number of Post-It® notes I was leaving stuck to my monitor. It is a computerised version of those notes.

The design goal behind Stickies is that the program is small and simple. Stickies will not mess with your system files, or write to the registry. Stickies stores all information in a single text-based ini file.
Stickies will never support animated dancing figures, or play "Greensleeves". They are instead yellow rectangular windows onto which you can put some text notes.

Once created, they will stay on screen until you take them away. Just like a real sticky piece of paper.

Main features:
Once on screen, stickies will remain where placed until closed, even through reboots
Stickies appearance can be customised; fonts, colours and buttons may be changed, and styles saved. Stickies can be resized.
Stickies can store text or images
Stickies can snap to each other and to the sides of the screen to keep them neatly lined up
Stickies can be attached to a web site, document or folder so they only show when it's on screen
Stickies can be transferred from one machine to another either over a TCP/IP network connection, or by using an SMTP mail server or MAPI client:
Hierarchical friends list, which may be automatically transferred from other friends
Play a sound file on receive
Signature for transmitted or emailed stickies
Favourite friends, and custom lists can be made
Stickies can be hidden for a certain period, until a specified date and time, or to wake every day, week or month, to act as reminders.
Stickies can have alarms set to ensure you notice them at a point you choose
Stickies can be transferred to and from your Palm or PPC PDA.
International language, Unicode and RTL text support
Stickies works with Windows Vista and Windows 7
Stickies is small and simple, it writes to a single text file, and does not alter the registry
AD network administrators can use Group Policy to control settings
API to allow integration with other applications

Day Planner, Note Manager, Organizer - Exstora:
New Way to Prevent Forgetting Important Things

Doesn't this sound familiar: you need to write down something important, so you grab whatever your hand finds first – a piece of paper, scrap of a newspaper or the first text file you come across of?

The important data is written down, and the problem seems to be solved. However, as you realize you need the note you had just saved a while ago, you find that just as bad luck would have it, the piece of paper is buried somewhere under a pile of the similar scraps, and the temporary text file has been moved to trash long time ago or got lost somewhere on a network disk on the "don't-know-which" server.

Features:
Quick Notes and Events Creating
Built-in Day Planner
Long-term Scheduling
Recurrent Scheduled Events

Quicknote 5

Sometimes what you need is not an advanced text processor but a virtual scrapbook to write down an occasional thought, a plan for the day or an Internet URL.

With a plain text editor, which can be used for this purpose, you have to run the program first, then create a new file, then type a line or two and save the file.

Too many things to do in order to simply write down a thought? Get rid of them with Quicknote.

Quicknote is an always-available notepad tool that lets you type or copy/paste bits of text anytime, demanding no space on your taskbar and as little memory as it can.

The program is accessible via shortcuts or via a small line on the top edge of your desktop - move your mouse over it and the tool will 'wake up' and display its resizable window in which you can jot down your notes or sketch small drawings.
