Plain Text Stickies

Keep beautiful notes, lose the text formatting.

• Pasting to or from notes is always 'as plain text' (why would you not want that?)
• No messing around with file names or locations, unless you particularly want to export the contents of a note.
• Choose from ten note colours. Choose any font and text size for that note.
• Notes are just there when you start the app. Close one when you've finished with it.
• Even after closing a note, the text is stored (encrypted) on your drive until you choose to restore it or delete it permanently.
• (from v1.2) optional iCloud syncing, keeps your notes synced across Macs (possibly iOS devices in the future).

Version History

Version 1.2.2 released November 2021

• Adds double-click to fold note into its own menu bar, as per the original Stickies. (Green button / Window > Zoom does the same thing)

Version 1.3

• Adds search feature, searches open and closed stickies.

Version 1.2.2 released Jan 2020

• Adds 'undo' to stickies

Version 1.2.1 released Dec 2019

• Adds options to migrate notes from local storage to iCloud and vice versa. These options are available from Preferences window or the application menu. Notes are copied, they remain in their original location. If you don't want all of them, or make a mistake and don't want any of them after migrating them, it's easy to simply close them and then delete them permanently using the Recover/Delete window.

Version 1.2 (beta) released Dec 2019

• Adds iCloud support for syncing notes across Macs and possibly iOS devices in the future
• Adds some preferences, including iCloud / local storage, default colour for new notes, opacity of notes that don't have focus
• Revises note colours slightly
• Saved note position is now stored as a relative position on the screen rather than absolute coordinates. This means that when switching monitors, resolution, or syncing notes to another computer with a different size or resolution screen, the notes should be positioned sensibly

Version 1.0 released Nov 2019

• First public release
