Goodbye, Apple’s built-in Mac Stickies—I finally found an alternative

📌After using it for 3 months, I decisively closed Apple’s built-in Stickies! Here’s a much better sticky notes app for Mac!

As a Mac user who’s a little particular about efficiency and aesthetics, I’d always used Apple’s built-in Stickies. But honestly, it’s just too basic🙃

Then I discovered an app called “Desktop Note”. After three months, I’m completely in love with it—now my desktop can’t do without it💻✨

🍋Here’s a quick look at why it’s totally won me over:

⸻

🌟 1｜A treat for design lovers: rounded corners + illustrated backgrounds are amazing!

Apple’s built-in Stickies still has that old yellow-page look (you know what I mean), and it really feels out of place in macOS Sonoma.

“Desktop Note” goes straight for a modern rounded design that blends perfectly with the system. It’s so pleasant to look at～

There are also polka-dot, grid, floral and other note backgrounds (images 3 4 5 6)

📝 2｜A built-in to-do list that handles weekly and monthly plans

The first thing I do every morning now is open it and write my to-dos for the day. Whether it’s work or little things in life, sticky notes you can tick off are so satisfying!

You can also manage different plans with different colors and themes—double the efficiency!

⸻

📌 3｜“Pin” keeps notes always on top, so important things won’t be forgotten!

Anyone else write a sticky note, only to have it hidden by other windows and then forget all about it😭

I really can’t praise this feature enough! “Desktop Note” can pin notes in front of all other windows,

so things like remembering to pay my credit card today or going to the gym tonight won’t get buried under a pile of apps again!

⸻

🗃️ 4｜A full Trash + archive + cloud sync: write with confidence, never lose a thing!

Accidentally deleting something can be stressful… but its Trash lets you recover it, and you can archive and organize things you’ve written before.

Best of all, it also syncs automatically through the cloud. Working from home or on the office computer, you can see everything, all neatly organized～
