Best Free Sticky Notes Software?

We have reviewed a sticky notes alternative in April. Here’s another software that could be the best sticky notes software ever.

Best Sticky Notes Software

Why could it be the best sticky notes software?

Easy to use
Rich-text editing (format your text)
Insert links into your notes
Create ordered lists
Synchronize notes with Microsoft Outlook
Archive for old sticky notes
Search sticky notes archive
Add sticky note to ALT-Tab Switch
Hide sticky notes
Low-weight software
Change sticky notes background color

Sticky Notes Software Windows 7

You will have to get used to moving the sticky notes software via CTRL + Left Mouse. You’ll also have to enable formatting first and change the annoying yellow background, but other than that you’ll love this software.

You can change the background of the sticky notes software by clicking on the paint bin. You can also change the background color of the text line (don’t confuse the two)

Unhandled exception errors
I did run into a few unhandled exception errors on Windows 7 64-bit. I’ll try to contact the developers. If they could fix this this software could be a valuable tool.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.
