Windows Sticky Notes is a handy app for making virtual sticky notes on your desktop. I just don’t see why I should keep updating this.Best Free Sticky Notes for Windows and Mac Sticky Notes for Windows 10 I think I will stay with the simpler version 3.5 (if people want that, it can still be found online if you search for it). For last year’s version 3.5 it was 1,07 Mb now this new version 4.0 is 1,78 Mb. A rough bloat indicator is the installer file size: two years ago, for version 3.0 it was 900 Kb. When in August 2016 I updated Simple Sticky Notes to version 3.5, then I already got the feeling it was beginning to lose its former true simplicity. It looks like they’re beginning to suffer a tiny little bit from what I call the Bloating Disease: where a developer, once he has reached the point where a program is near-perfect, still wants to keep improving it - and tries to do so by adding ever more themes, functions, whatever: until a once great program has bloated into a top-heavy mess (e-book manager Calibri is an extreme example of this, I keep using the very old Calibri version that I’m happy with).įor example, I really don’t need an alarm function in my sticky notes software! It supports multiple notebooks, keyboard shortcuts for all core functions, options to set to top or hide notes, and to change the appearance of individual notes.īasically this is good software, I’ve been using it for years for quick desktop reminders or temporary lists.
