Stickies is a lightweight and efficient sticky note tool on Mac, suitable for recording temporary information. When creating and editing, you can add, adjust colors, format text, and insert pictures; automatically retain them after saving and support iCloud synchronization; when using them, you can put important notes, sort them by color, and assist workflows to improve efficiency.

Anyone who has used a Mac knows that although the Stickies gadget is simple, it can greatly improve daily efficiency if used properly. It is not as numerous as those complex notes, but is known for its lightweight, fast and intuitiveness. If you often need to keep a note of something, such as to-do items, temporary reminders, URL and passwords, Stickies is a good choice.

How to create and edit sticky notes

Opening Stickies is very simple, you can start by searching for "Stickies" directly on Launchpad or searching for "Stickies" through Spotlight. After opening it, a blank note will pop up by default, and you can start typing the content immediately.

• Click the " " button in the upper left corner to add a note
• Right-click the existing note to choose copy, delete, lock and other operations
• Notes support multiple colors. Click the "A" icon in the upper right corner to change the background color.

Each note is an independent window, which can be dragged at will, and the size can be adjusted freely. When editing content, basic text formats are supported, such as bold, italic, underlined, and even insert pictures.

How to save and synchronize sticky notes

Many people are worried about whether Stickies is unreliable. In fact, since macOS X, the content of Stickies has been automatically saved. If you turn off the program and open it, the note you wrote before will still be waiting for you in place.

If you use iCloud, Stickies also supports cross-device synchronization (provided that your Mac version supports it). Just log in to the same Apple ID and enable "iCloud Sync" in your system settings, and your notes will automatically appear on other Macs.

What should be noted is:

• Not all older versions of macOS support synchronization
• Images and some complex formats may have problems synchronizing
• If you don't want others to see the sticky notes, it is recommended not to use Stickies on public computers to record sensitive information.

Tips: Make Stickies work better

1. Put important notes on top
   Right-click a note and select "Keep in front" so that it will not be covered by other windows, suitable for some particularly important reminders.

2. How to organize too many sticky notes
   If too many sticky notes appear messy, you can sort them by color, or reduce the sticky notes you don’t use for a long time and pile them in a corner of the screen, so that they will not interfere with work and will not forget their existence.

3. Use sticky notes to assist workflow
   For example, when you write an email, you need to remember a few key points. You can directly open a note and post it next to it, which is more convenient than switching the application repeatedly.

Basically that's it. Stickies may seem simple, but with a little thought to organize it, it can be a good helper for your desktop efficiency.
