CLUSTER DESKTOP-NOTES-STICKY · 28 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2016-01-11
Desktop sticky notes apps
This cluster comprises sticky-note applications for desktops, mobile, and web, focused on quick notes, to-dos, and reminders with features like always-on-top pinning, system tray access, and local storage. Entries appear sporadically from 2013 through early 2026, with a modest uptick in the first half of 2026, though most members have a dated entry only once. Traction leaders are StickyNote4MyLove (3 stars), Xingyu (2 stars), and slipnote (0 stars).
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 8 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.

Ranked by traction, highest first, and paged 20 at a time — this is a window on the cluster, never the whole of it. Ties are broken by a stable id so a product cannot appear on two pages or fall between them. Browse every cluster.
