hott notes

hott notes is a handy application that comes in the shape of desktop sticky notes, similar to the default ones from Microsoft. Its purpose is to help you store general or essential information, like addresses, phone numbers, deadlines or company names.

Once the installation process is complete, the app is sent directly to the system tray, where you can create new drafts and configure general settings. When started for the first time, it asks if you want to enable the hotkeys, and what action should be executed (e.g. create new message, hide items, show Note Desktop) when double-clicking on its tray icon.

Each notation can have a specific background color for several default ones, along with a custom font type and size. hott notes lets you center the text, set the opacity level, and schedule alarms on a particular date and time. Plus, it's possible to select a sound file from the computer in MP3 and WAV format.

From the note's context menu, you have the option to edit and clear the contents, hide from the view, stay on top of other windows, show the title bar, as well as copy the text to the clipboard, crumple and archive the note. The app comes with an archive manager, where you can view the active desktop notations, deleted and archived items.

All the notes are backed up automatically. From the settings, you can enable the utility to run at startup, disable the sounds and crumple animation as well as change the default draft's appearance, date format and hotkeys.

Hott notes is a useful program that comes in handy for those who need to store temporary information directly on the screen using sticky notes. It features an archive organizer and backup function.
