11 Useful and Free Sticky Notes (Sticky Pad) Softwares For Your Desktop
I have been using Sticky pads to stick notes all over the computer so that I can remember things easily, but having a clumsy monitor does not help to focus on the task at hand.
In order to stay away from this mess I use a combination of Note taking software Evernote and a sticky pad software to stick notes to my desktop. The sticky notes software allows me to stick notes directly to my desktop so that I can view them there all the time (and using two monitors definitely helps 
)
Today I bring to you 11 Useful and Free Sticky Pad Softwares which will help you keep your monitor clean and clutter free. All of these softwares are absolutely free so you do not have to worry paying money to buy that sticky pad again.

PinNotes is the software I am currently using. It is a real simple way to created and store sticky notes on your desktop with options to customize each note window separately and support to add pictures, numbers, time/date etc.

Morgan I do use Evernote and love it too, in fact I made a mention about it in the post too, these softwares are just like a extension to Evernote, they sit on your desktop all the time giving you a quick view of things you need to do quickly.

Having now used this, I can say that it is pretty good, though I don’t think it will replace my previous stick note program.

Now, what I *really* need is a similar list, but for Linux, more specifically Ubuntu. Although I have no choice but to use this inferior, pay-for, operating system at work, I run completely free at home, using Linux all the time.

I’d rather stick to my USB storage, which is fingerprint-based, and works under all operating systems that support both fat32 and USB storage. This makes my protected information fully transportable, better protected, and completely OS-independent. As a plus, I don’t even need to install software to be able to un-protect using my finger. It’s called Stealth MXP , from MXI.
