Stickies is a Macintosh notetaking application for putting Post-it note-like windows on the screen with short reminders, notes and other clippings. Typed contents are automatically stored, and restored when the application is restarted. The first version of Stickies was written by Apple employee Jens Alfke and included in System 7.5. It is also included in Mac OS X, now with features such as transparent notes, styled text and the ability to embed pictures in notes. In Mac OS X v10.2 "Jaguar," Stickies is able to adopt a 3D view. Complementary to the Stickies application a feature reduced version of Stickies is one of the widgets included with Dashboard since Mac OS X v10.4. Similar applications are available for most operating systems. A generic term for such applications is "desktop notes." less
