BizStickies is a sticky note app for people who want a note in front of them, not filed away in an app they have to go and open. On the Mac, notes float on your desktop as small windows that stay where you put them. Keep them above other windows or let them sit behind. The menu bar icon holds every note you have, with search and tags, so nothing is ever more than one click away — and the Dock icon can be hidden entirely if you would rather it stayed out of the way. On iPhone and iPad, the same notes are a tap away, with a widget on your Home Screen showing the ones you have pinned. Everything syncs through your own iCloud account. There is no sign-up, no server of ours, and no account to manage — if you are signed in to iCloud, your notes are already on your other devices. WRITING • Checklists you tick off, with finished items collected out of the way • Bulleted lists, nested up to four levels • Type "- " or "[] " and it becomes a bullet or a checkbox • Links in your notes are recognised and openable • Choose the text size and typeface that suit you ORGANISING • Tags, with filtering • Pin the notes you want at the top • Seven paper colours • Search across every note • Recently Deleted, so a note is never gone by accident MAC • Floating notes that remember where they were • Menu bar access, with the Dock icon optional • A note reopens exactly where you left it IPHONE AND IPAD • A Home Screen widget for your pinned notes • A layout that uses the iPad's width properly Your notes are yours. They are stored on your device and in your private iCloud database, which we cannot read.
