StickyBoard

StickyBoard is a sticky-note app for macOS. Keep notes on an infinite canvas, pin the important ones to your desktop, and sort them across boards by tag.

Updated July 2026 · v2.7.3

Screenshots

StickyBoard is a sticky-note board for the everyday thoughts you don't want to lose: a phone number you'll need in ten minutes, a half-formed idea, a meeting action item, a snippet from a doc. Drop it on a board, pin the important ones to your desktop, and they're always one glance away.

Boards live in the sidebar; notes live on an infinite canvas you can pan, zoom, and arrange like a real corkboard - drag, resize, recolor, group by tag.

Highlights

  1. Multiple boards - sidebar list with inline rename, drag-to-reorder, and per-board note counts; switch boards with one click or from the menu bar tray.
  2. Pin to desktop - promote any sticky to a floating always-on-top window that lives on your desktop, even after StickyBoard's main window is closed. Move it, resize it, close it to unpin.
  3. Quick capture - hit ⌘⇧S from anywhere on macOS to summon a Spotlight-style box, type your note, ⌘↵ to save. Works from any app, even when StickyBoard is hidden.
  4. Markdown rendering - write in plain text or use Markdown for headings, lists, links, code blocks, bold and italic; the note flips between edit and rendered view as you click in and out.
  5. Tags - color-coded labels you can attach to any note; filter the canvas to a single tag to see just the notes that matter for the task in front of you.
  6. Six note colors - yellow, pink, blue, green, purple, and gray; per-note color picker so you can sort visually at a glance.
  7. Search across boards - ⌘F opens the search box; the sidebar shows a hit count next to every board so you know exactly where each match lives.
  8. Undo / redo - every move, resize, recolor, delete, tag, and create goes on a 100-step history stack; ⌘Z to walk back, ⌘⇧Z to walk forward.
  9. Import & export Markdown - drop a .md file on the window or pick one from File → Open… to turn it into a sticky; export any board to a single Markdown file for backup or sharing.
  10. Menu bar tray - a tilted-sticky icon in the menu bar with shortcuts to open the app, fire a new sticky, jump straight to any board, and toggle Launch at login.
  11. Launch at login - opt-in autostart that boots StickyBoard straight into the tray (no UI flash) and restores every pinned desktop note from your last session.
  12. Light & dark themes - one-click toggle in the header; pin windows on the desktop swap palette live with the main app.

Perfect for

  1. Always-on reminders - pin tomorrow's flight number, the wifi password, or a meeting agenda to the desktop so it sits behind your apps, ready when you need it.
  2. Capturing thoughts mid-flow - ⌘⇧S, type the idea, ⌘↵, back to what you were doing in under five seconds.
  3. Organizing a project - one board per project, color the notes by status, tag the ones blocked on someone else, drag them around as work moves forward.
  4. Snippet library - keep frequently used commands, code blocks, email templates, or addresses on a dedicated board; copy the rendered text whenever you need it.
  5. Daily standup notes - three stickies a day, drop them on a "Today" board, archive to last week's board when you're done.
  6. Brain dump & sort later - fire everything into one board with quick capture, then drag, tag, and recolor it into shape when you have a minute.
