Sticky

Paper notes that stick to your windows and web pages. They move with them, and come back when they do.

Coming soon

For macOS 26 or later · Notarized by Apple

Write it, peel it, stick it

Press ⌃⌥N, write on the pad, and drop the sheet right on the page it is about.

Where it helps

Each page keeps its own note

Switch tabs and the right note is already there. It follows the page, not the tab.

A to-do list on the document

Put a checklist on the file you work on. It waits there until you open it again.

It moves with its window

Drag the window anywhere. The note stays glued to its spot.

Out of the way when you switch

A note hides when its window goes behind, and comes back when the window is in front.

Feedback right on the design

Leave the comment on the mockup itself, next to the thing it is about.

Peel it off when you are done

Tick the last item, then pull a corner back across the note, like a real sticker. Undo stays for 5 seconds.

How it works

1. Write

Click Sticky in the menu bar or press ⌃⌥N. A pad of notes opens. Type on the top sheet.

2. Stick

Peel the sheet off the pad and drop it on any window, or on a page in Safari or Chrome.

3. Forget about it

The note moves with its window and hides when you switch away. It comes back when the window does, even after a restart.

Made like paper

Notes on web pages

Stick a note on a page in Safari or Chrome. It shows on that page in any tab. Widen it to a part of the site, or the whole site.

Six paper colors

Pick a color under the pad. Each note gets a small tilt from how you drop it. Double-click the top strip to fold it.

Peel to move or remove

Peel a note by its corner to move it. Peel it all the way off and drop it away from any window to remove it. Undo is there for 5 seconds.

Lists and checklists

Bold, italic, strikethrough, links, bullet lists and checklists, each with a keyboard shortcut.

All notes in one place

The Notes window shows every note, also the ones whose window is not open. Search them, edit them, and restore deleted ones for 30 days.

Never on the wrong window

When Sticky is not sure which window a note belongs to, it hides the note and asks you. A hidden note is better than a lost one.

Private by design

Stays on your Mac

Your notes live in one file on your Mac. There is no account, no sync and no cloud.

Only what it needs

Sticky reads window titles and the address of the page you look at, on your Mac only. It never records your screen or your keys.

One update check

Sticky goes online only to check for a new version and to download it. It sends nothing about you or your notes.
