Best Free Sticky Notes Utility [1]

Introduction

With so many things on the plate these days, you may find a reminder that pops up at the designated time and date on the desktop really helpful. It keeps you on task, productive and stops urgent matters from disappearing.

These sticky notes are mostly lightweight, a great helper for your daily activities and a good replacement for pieces of physical paper notes stuck around.

They can be brightly colored and moved around on the desktop, effectively organized, saved, printed or shared with others depending on how well these note management software tools are designed to suit your needs. Check out below our rated products.

PNotes.NET [9] [10]

A portable program that manages sticky notes well and offers all the options that Stickies does

Our Rating:
4

Images can be readily pasted into memos. A full range of advanced features, including online synchronisation/back up services services including Drop Box and Google Drive. Notes can also be posted to social media and social media posts downloaded to notes.
Use of skins reduces functionality. Creating a new note is not as straightforward as it should be. Defining the usual hot key combo for this funtion (Ctrl+N) is likely to cause you problems when using other programs.

Honorable Mention

Internote [21], a Firefox addon, works almost the same as a sticky note but it's on a webpage rather than on your desktop. It's particularly useful if you're using Firefox browser and need to create personal notes on the webpages you're visiting.

The notes you've created are persistent and will be there once you return to the webpages. You can move, resize, recolor, minimize, import, export, print, delete your notes or choose the pages where a note appears.
