Simple by design
No accounts, no setup wizard, no bloat. Install it, and it just works.
Always on top
Notes stay above every other window so your reminders never get buried.
Fades when unfocused
Notes turn translucent when you're not using them, and snap back to full opacity when you are.
Multiple notes at once
Open as many notes as you need. Arrange them into a tidy grid with one click.
Global hotkeys
Show/hide all notes or toggle opacity instantly — fully customizable key combos.
Autosave, always
Every keystroke, move, and resize is saved automatically. Reboot and pick up right where you left off.
Cloud-storage friendly
Point fabsticky at a Dropbox, Google Drive, or OneDrive folder and your notes travel with you — no built-in sync required.
Rich text formatting
Bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, bullet lists, fonts, sizes, and color — right in the note.
Collapse to a title bar
Double-click any note to shrink it down to just its title, then bring it back with a click.
Real encryption, not a toy lock
Password-protected notes are secured with AES-256 encryption, not just hidden from view. They stay locked every time the app restarts.
