Stickers is the fastest way to jot something down and keep it in sight — a colourful sticky note that lives on your iPhone, iPad and Mac. WRITE, DON'T FIDDLE Tap +, type, done. Every note is plain Markdown: headings, lists, checkboxes, bold and italic light up as you type. Paste a photo straight into a note. SEE EVERYTHING AT A GLANCE Your notes sit on a board of coloured cards. Pin the important ones, filter by colour, lock private notes behind a password, and drag cards to reorder them. MAKE IT YOURS Five colours, three fonts (System, Chalkboard, Menlo), text size that follows Dynamic Type, and a Dark Mode that looks as good as the light one. Designed for iOS 26 with Liquid Glass. ALWAYS AT HAND • Home Screen widget with your latest notes • Live Activity: keep a note on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island • Handoff: start on iPhone, continue on iPad or Mac • iCloud sync across all your devices • On iPad, open notes in separate windows side by side Stickers for Mac puts the same notes on your desktop as floating sticky windows, with a Notification Center widget.
