LockScreenNotes solves this by displaying your notes right on your lock screen where you can't miss them. ■ Easy to Use Just tap the note on your lock screen to open the app and jot down what's important.

Scribble freely like you would on a real sticky note. A quick underline might just help you remember better. ■ Add Images You can paste images from your photo library too.
