StickyNote Editor's Review

Keep yourself organized with this handy reminder program for Windows.

You see them all over the office...Stickies. Stuck to desktops, underneath keyboards, on the side of cabinets, hanging from overhangs, and of course, on computer monitors. They are literally everywhere, and the guy who invented the glue HAS to be like a bazillionaire (or at least should be).  The only problem that you bump into is the one thing that makes them so wonderful – they're everywhere, and they can create a huge mess. This is why I like StickyNote from Tenebril Software. It’s a reminder program for Windows.

StickyNote 9.0 is a virtual notes program, and is the only program to offer photo-realistic, 3D notes that look just like stickies you leave on your monitor. Today, you have more information to remember than ever before – passwords, phone numbers, messages, ideas, just to name a few. Managing this information efficiently is important to staying organized. StickyNote provides an easy solution, both at home and at the office.

StickyNote creates photo-realistic 3D notes on your desktop. With a single click, you can attach notes to documents or programs. Important ideas or passwords will never be lost. You can pass notes instantly over the Internet or local network. You can easily make sure phone messages are delivered in the office without ever leaving your chair. The notes pop up right on the recipient's computer screen.

You can set alarms, set notes to appear at specific times to remind you of important events, and can even set the notes to appear periodically. You can also synchronize your notes with Microsoft Outlook, your Palm handheld or other PDAs.

Pro’s: Set reminders, send notes to other users, Outlook synchronization

Con’s: Non-standard reminder format,

Conclusion: As a reminder program, this is an ok application. I have never liked this paradigm on my PC, however. This is really just part of a PIM, and its value is only part of what can be done with Outlook, or whatever email app you're likely using.  The cute factor of the 3D stickies is nice, but unless the visual presentation is something you have to have, its likely better to skip this app and just stick with Outlook or whatever you're using to manage the rest of your PIM data.
