Windows Sticky Notes: Basic Note-Taking App for Desktop Access

Windows Sticky Notes is a basic note-taking app included in Windows operating systems. It allows users to easily create simple text notes that can be stuck to the desktop for quick access.

What is Windows Sticky Notes?

Windows Sticky Notes is a lightweight note-taking application included in Microsoft Windows operating systems starting with Windows 7. It provides users with a simple interface to jot down thoughts, to-do lists, reminders, and more.

Sticky Notes lets users create yellow digital post-it notes that can be freely moved around and positioned on the desktop. Notes can contain plain text, lists, hyperlinks, and images. Basic formatting like bold, italics, underline, font style and size can also be applied.

Once created, the notes remain visible on top of other application windows for easy access and visibility. Notes can be resized and customized with different colors and backgrounds for organization. They can also be set to always stay on top to prevent them from getting buried under other windows.

Sticky Notes syncs across Windows devices signed in with the same Microsoft account. This allows notes created on one device to automatically appear on other PCs and laptops the user owns. Notes can also be exported as HTML files for backup or portability if needed.

As a built-in app, Sticky Notes provides a handy basic note organizer without the need to install third-party software. It's especially useful for jotting down thoughts, reminders, and to-dos directly on the desktop for visibility and easy access.
