Main Features

Microsoft Sticky Notes for PC allows a fast and easy way to create reminders, lists, notes, handwritten drawings, text with advanced formatting, embeddable photos, and stick them directly to the Windows desktop surface. This way, users can easily track their daily tasks, get reminded about upcoming events, and make sure that important data remains always easily available to them.

And with the help of a built-in synchronization service, all the data managed by MS Sticky Notes is automatically synced with OneDrive and distributed to all devices that users have logged in with their Microsoft Account. Timed reminders are even automatically distributed to the Cortana voice assistant service, which will notify the users about incoming events.

The app is automatically synced with the following apps - OneNote Mobile, Microsoft Launcher for Android, and Outlook for Windows.

The notetaking editor can handle the embedding of pictures, embedding of URL links, voice dictation, drawing of text (with OCR), making drawing or diagrams, and more. In addition to the basic bright theme that showcases easily noticeable yellow, white, blue, and green sticky notes, the app also has full support for dark Windows theme.
