A passing note becomes a richer record of the day around it.

Sticky Notea is a lightweight, thoughtfully designed place for the words you want to keep close. When an idea arrives, you shouldn't have to build a system before writing it down. Open the app, start typing, and your thought becomes a note you can see, revisit, and arrange with ease. Use it for a quick reminder, today's to-do list, a coffee recipe, a travel plan, a line of writing, or any small detail worth keeping. Designed for everyday notes: • Multiple ways to view Move between Standard List, Compact List, and Card View. Scan many notes at once, or browse them like paper notes laid out in front of you. • Simple organization Keep things clear with groups, search, pinned notes, favorites, and colors—without turning your notes into a complicated filing system. • Beautiful note images Turn a note into a polished, paper-inspired image for sharing ideas, lists, announcements, and quote cards, or save it directly to Photos. • Make it feel like yours Choose from paper colors, themes, layouts, and display options, with full Dark Mode support. A clean interface, gentle colors, and subtle motion make writing and organizing feel calm and natural. • Rich text, kept simple Use headings, lists, checklists, quotes, and bold text when you need more structure. Capture one line in a moment, or shape a longer thought at your own pace. • Local backup Export and restore your notes manually whenever you want to keep a copy or move them to another device. • App lock Protect personal notes with your device passcode or biometrics. Sticky Notea stays focused on writing, arranging, and seeing your notes clearly. It is simply a small piece of paper, ready whenever an idea finds you.
