While we would have liked to have seen an alarm system like some other sticky note programs provide, we have no complaints with Simple Sticky Notes' straightforward system and its fine way of keeping notes for free. While the notes aren't automatically stacked on top of one another, but staggered, this is still a great way to look at notes that have been minimized and forgotten. The tray menu gives users the opportunity to show all notes and sort them to stay organized. The size can also be adjusted on the note, but that's the end of the formatting options. It lets you take quick notes on sticky notes (that look like 3M Post-It® Notes), right on your Windows desktop & gives you the best sticky notes experience.

However, this one can have its color changed and its transparency adjusted thanks to the pull down menu at the top of the note. Notezilla is a sticky notes app for Windows & Phones designed to keep you well-equipped & well-organized. From the tray, users create a new note, which pops up as a yellow sticky note. This free program embeds itself in the system tray and offers very little beyond the capability to make and sort notes, which is perfectly fine with us. Simple Sticky Notes lives up to its title by providing a simple way of reminding yourself of important notes. Take down all those annoying yellow reminder papers off your office wall and keep them neatly organized on your computer desktop.
