Aztaro Reviews: Stickies from Zhorn Software

This may seem like a repeat but a friend found my Blogger [and took advantage of the request thing, wow I feel important] and showed me a link to a different kind of program about sticky notes

Today I'm reviewing Zhorn Software's program called Stickies

[Update]  Site: ZhornSoftware.co.uk/stickies/

This is a simple sticky note program that can do a lot more and still be simple enough to operate. It has some of the best simple features as in saved locations, colour select, resizing and other good features. The thing that makes this program excel is that it works more like actual sticky notes in real life. You know the kind you can stick where ever and not just on a cork board. For example if you want to only put a sticky note on a webpage for your next visit you can go through the simple right-click interface and choose that webpage in the list of running programs. This can be pinned to multiple sites or even programs, for example it can be pinned to a game on your computer to remind you to try to beat a score your friend had just bragged about or to remind you at a certain point you need to go tend to your village. Another neat feature is the ability to add alarms to your notes so if you need to be reminded of something at either a specific time or date, the note won't appear till that time comes with a little shaking animation. Another plus is these notes have an option to attach files to them or even viewable pictures with a simple drag and drop.

Personal Opinion Time [skip at your leisure]: This is probably going to be my greatest ally in my fight to remember things. Stickys did kick Microsoft Sticky Notes out of the water with functionality because of the program being such a small file and taking up almost no space on my hard drive. Stickies had no drawing feature though why would you need to with so many other programs MENT for drawing. So kicking one questionable feature for a sea of attach to files/webpage, photo viewing, time management features was more than worth dropping a sticky note program with the only feature is drawing and staying there. This program even has an option to keep it above windows or to "roll" the note up so it doesn't clutter your screen.

One last thing before the wrap-up is there is an option to transfer them over to another computer but I don't have a need for that -yet-. I even asked the requester and they only had one computer so this option is probably for those who are on the go a lot.

This is probably one of the ultimate "I'll help you remember" programs that I've ever seen and with more colour options and customizable font, it's hard for me to ever roll up the notes when I can make them as good as I would like them to look with my desktop wallpaper.
