Write a note. Lock your phone. It's still there. Sticky keeps one note permanently on your iPhone Lock Screen — no unlocking, no opening an app, no searching. Every time you pick up your phone, the thing you must not forget is already in front of you. WHY PEOPLE USE IT • The shopping list you actually see at the shop • The gate code, the door number, the parking spot • Three things to do today, ticked off without unlocking • A sentence you want to keep in front of you CHECK OFF WITHOUT UNLOCKING Tap a checkbox right on the Lock Screen. The note updates instantly. You never open the app. MAKE IT YOURS 27 papers across six families — amber, sticky, retro, plain, night, calm. Lined, grid, dotted or blank. Choose the handwriting, set the size, make words bold, italic or underlined. MORE THAN TEXT Draw with a pen or a marker. Add a background photo. Everything stays on the card, exactly as you left it. WIDGETS TOO Lock Screen and Home Screen widgets, so your note is there even with no connection. YOUR NOTE NEVER LEAVES YOUR DEVICE This is the part we care most about. What you write is stored only on your iPhone and is read directly by the Lock Screen card. It is never uploaded and never travels in a notification. We cannot see it. STICKY PRO The Lock Screen surfaces are part of Sticky Pro, a weekly subscription. You get a free preview during setup, so you see your own note on your own Lock Screen before deciding.
