YSticky

Sticky notes are to office work, what water is to plants. No idea, project steps, contact details or any other uncategorized piece of information that comes across your desk is safer than within a sticky. Today, electronic sticky notes are as popular as paper ones, and most operating systems have them built-in. If that's not enough for you and prefer to have a stand-alone tool that can always be at hand, YSticky can be just that.

YSticky's footprint is so small that any removable device can accommodate it. Java stands at the base of the program's architecture. Without Java Virtual Machine installed, the app cannot run, so make sure this requirement is met on all machines you intend to run the tool.

Use the executable to launch the first instance. After that's done, you can generate as many notes as you wish, using the first note's context menu. Running the same EXE to spawn more notes will probably cause Java to act up.

With a file size close to nothing, YSticky won't support any customization options. You're stuck with a yellow background and a serial number for each individual note. Changing things like color or font are out of the question.

However, there's a small context menu that allows one to create new instances, cut, copy, paste and select content, as well as pinning any notes to the screen.

YSticky is nothing but a simple and unimpressive tool that delivers exactly what's advertised — sticky notes, good enough for jotting down whatever data worth remembering. If you're looking for functionality, you have it, but if you expect to have more control and further tailor the notes to better suit your needs, you might want to look for high-end alternatives.
