Sticki.ly

Read full description

One sticky note, on every device you own. Sticki.ly is a dead-simple sticky note that syncs across your iPhone, iPad, Mac, Windows PC, Linux box, and the web. Each sticki holds a title, a note, and one attached file. Make as many as you need. No folders, no tags, no clutter to manage. WHAT IT DOES β€’ Hold a title, a note, and one attached file per sticki β€’ Attach any single file β€” a PDF, photo, or document β€’ Keep as many stickis as you need, each one tap away β€’ Sync every sticki across iPhone, iPad, Mac, Windows, Linux, and the web β€’ Pin a sticki to your Home Screen or Lock Screen with a widget β€’ Start a new sticki from Control Center, the Lock Screen, or the Action Button β€’ Edit offline; changes sync the moment you're back online SMALL ON PURPOSE Apple Notes and Google Keep are note libraries. Sticki.ly is the opposite β€” one note in front of you, nothing to file or organize. It's the thing you reach for when you don't want a whole notebook. Start a sticki on your Mac, finish it on your phone, and it's already on every other device. GOOD MOMENTS β€’ The guest Wi-Fi password, always there when company visits β€’ A receipt you snapped, with a note on what it was for β€’ Passport number and confirmation codes for a trip β€’ A handoff for tomorrow-you, picked up on the phone over coffee β€’ A draft you don't want to lose, ready to steal from later EVERYWHERE AT ONCE Home Screen widget on iPhone and iPad. Menu bar on Mac. System tray on Windows. A desktop app on Linux. A full web app in any browser. Same stickis, same place, on each one. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Your stickis are yours. They're stored encrypted at rest and are never used for ads or training. Nothing is collected beyond the account you sign in with. Register up to 10 devices and remove any you no longer use, right from Settings. STICKI.LY PRO Using Sticki.ly takes Sticki.ly Pro. Signing in is free; creating and syncing stickis requires Pro.
