I recently started using Evernote, and absolutely love it. Cloud is awesome!

Anyway, not sure where to post this but I wish there was a Sticky Notes version of Evernote. I've always been a huge Post-it user. The wall next to my desk used to be covered in them (still is somewhat...)! Now I put some of them in Evernote, and some are on the Sticky Notes software that comes with Windows. Problem is, I have 3 computers, not to mention my phone. So while I can access everything on Evernote on any of these devices, the Sticky Notes are all local. :/

While I CAN in theory put them in Evernote, I like being able to have them on little patches on my desktop. I can scroll over the icon to see them with Aero Peek for quick reference. It's also a different organizing system since you can drag the stickies around rather than making lists in a single note, or poking around different notes in the Evernote interface. Sooo it would be awesome to have some integrated sticky note software with Evernote! Cloud stickies! One can dream...

Any other Post-it addict feel the same way? (Or anyone with Evernote tricks that can make-shift solve my Sticky situation?)

Owyn, although I doubt I would ever use it, that looks like a neat app!

• Take a picture of your wall (or pictures, in sections)
• Make sure the notes are all legible enough for Evernote to OCR the content.
• Add picture(s) to Evernote.
• Stop using stickies!

PS: That was a Link only. Application not tested, but, it's features seemed to match your requirements. It also seems to be Windows 7 centric which is of absolutely of no personal use to me.

I'd like to try this applicaton but the Windows 7 requirement is a show stopper for me.

Yep.

It does not work on WIndows XP and most cenrtainly not on Android (that’s a completely different platform). I am going to try and make it compatible with XP in the future.

Can't stop using stickies, not having to click multiple times to get to them, and being able to drag them around the screen is too important. It's a different way of organizing certain things. Taking ss of my desktop would just be ridiculous for editing purposes. =)

Will have to check out that app when I get a chance, though I wouldn't be able to use it with my phone. =/

you could also check out this app:

this app allows you to have multiple colored stickies on your desktop and automatically synchronizes them with your evernote account. works on windows xp and above.

here's a demo video:

Read this with interest but trying to see how it would fit into my Evernote life.

I do get given or even create post it notes or make notes in little books when I am out and about. But for the last five years since my OneNote days and now happier Evernote days I just put these notes on to my days diary.

Some make recall that the way I work is to create a new note every day which is given the days date such as 120204 for today - thanks GrumpyMonkey for that snippett, much better than my old system. As things happen I type it into the days note, then add the little 'todo' tick box - sorry cannot remember if that is what it is called! Then 'Insert Horizontal Line'. A new task or enquiry would then go under the line and so on throughout the day. As I work on the task, I type what I have done and what I need to do.

When all the days tasks are completed the day is dropped into the 'completed' diary Notebook.

So any potential post it note will only be another task in my days diary.

The only post it note I have in my study at home is a customers credit card details. I am legally not allowed to put this on a computer, based on the security clearance we have with the bank. So it seems to be working.

Ooops, just spotted two post it notes on my pull out drawer for the keyboard. Best get those passwords into my secure section of Evernote!

Best regards

Chris

Evernoted. Thanks for the link.

@C6REW
Have you tried popping out your day note to a single note view window? This will give you immediate access to the day note and let you navigate Evernote at the same time.

[C6REW]

Hi Owyn,

I think you mentioned that the other day and I thought it was a great idea many thanks. I will keep it in mind as it could be very useful as you say.

I have created a short cut to my diary and with the day code that I use thanks to GrumpyMonkey the current day is always on top when I click on the diary.

Best regards

Chris

Checked out the app mentioned above (thanks @dominikweber) - for the record, it installs fine in Vista and works seamlessly with EN. For anyone who's just absolutely, terminally GOT to use stickies I'd say it's a winner. Not sure personally - it will be useful for items that I really HAVE to do, since the note sits on my desktop. Unfortunately there's no way to hide it either - which means I got fed up after a while and went back to my detached Evernote note page. Notes and mind-mapping seem like two sides of a coin - with m'maping you can nest and arrange more, but the simpler layouts are easy with stickies. And I can take a pic of the screen to add to my day note. Maybe - will try out for a bit.

[dominikweber]

@gazumped: you can click the sticky notes taskbar button again to minimize it (which should hide the notes).

Dominik, are you the developer of this app? If so, it's best to state this up front.

[dominikweber]

yes, i'm one of the developers of this app

[BurgersNFries]

yes, i'm one of the developers of this app

Thank you. FWIW, there's nothing wrong, IMO, with promoting your own app that integrates with EN. But I always appreciate knowing if someone is a satisfied user of the app vs a developer. And I have no qualms about promoting third party apps that I think are great.

[jimclay75050]

I think this application is great. It is one that I have been hoping for.

It almost has everything I want. The only it does not have is the ability to stay on top of an application. Maybe in a future update?

Thank you to the creator of the application.

[BurgersNFries]

I just played a bit with this app. FWIW, if you try to move the sticky notes to another monitor (dual monitor setup), it goes off into the Netherworld. You have to exit the app & restart to get it back.

I myself am also a sticky note freak, not as much anymore that I really started using EN---but I also have Livescribe pens in my class, so I use the Livescribe sticky....then it is in EN when I sync up....
