Sticky Notes & Color Widget is an app from Hive 5 Studio for writing colorful sticky notes, checklists and reminders, and pinning them to your Home Screen as widgets. Type a note or dictate it with your voice, color-code it, add a photo, and keep everything synced across your Apple devices with iCloud. WHAT YOU CAN DO - Sticky notes and quick memos: jot down an idea, a phone number or a thought in seconds. - Checklists and to-do lists: tick off groceries, packing lists, chores and daily tasks. - Reminders: get a notification at the time you choose so a note doesn't get forgotten. - Home Screen widgets: put a sticky note or checklist right on your iPhone Home Screen and read it without opening the app. - Color-coded notes: organize notes by color, for example work, home, shopping or ideas. - Notes with pictures: attach a photo to a note, such as a receipt, a whiteboard or a recipe. - Voice notes (voice to text): speak your note instead of typing it. - iCloud sync: your notes stay backed up and available on your other Apple devices. - App lock: lock the app to keep private notes away from anyone who picks up your phone. HOW IT WORKS 1. Create a note, checklist or reminder by typing or speaking. 2. Pick a color and add a picture if you like. 3. Add it as a widget to your Home Screen, or set a reminder.
