Getting started with fabsticky

Everything you need to install fabsticky, activate your license, and get the most out of it.

Install

  1. After purchase, Lemon Squeezy will email you a download link and your license key. Keep the email — you'll need the key in a moment.
  2. Download fabsticky-setup.exe (or the .zip, if you chose the portable download) and run it.
  3. fabsticky runs from the system tray — look for its icon near your clock after launching. There's no separate main window.
fabsticky doesn't require administrator rights to install or run.

Activate your license

  1. On first launch, an Activate fabsticky window appears.
  2. Paste the license key from your purchase email and click Activate.
  3. That's it — the app checks your key online once, then remembers your activation on this PC.

Not ready to activate? Click Skip for now to keep using fabsticky unlicensed for a little while. After a few skips, activation becomes required to continue.

You can reopen the activation window anytime from the tray icon menu → License… — useful for checking your activation status or entering a key later.

Moving to a new PC

Each license activates on one computer at a time. To move fabsticky to a new PC:

  1. On the old PC, open the tray menu → License… and choose Deactivate this PC.
  2. Install fabsticky on the new PC and activate it with the same license key.
Lost access to the old PC and can't deactivate it first? Reply to your purchase receipt email and we'll free up the activation for you.

Locked notes

Any note can be password-protected from its menu (☰ → Lock Note…). Locked notes are encrypted on disk and re-lock automatically every time fabsticky restarts — you'll need the password again to view or edit them. Set an optional hint when locking a note in case you forget the password later.

There is no password recovery. If you forget a note's password and didn't set a hint, that note's content can't be recovered — only deleted.

FAQ & support

Is this a subscription?

No — fabsticky is a one-time purchase with lifetime updates for the version you bought.

Can I get a refund?

Yes. Refund requests are handled through Lemon Squeezy — use the link in your purchase receipt email, or contact support below.

Does fabsticky sync notes between computers?

Not currently. Notes are saved locally on each PC. If you need a note on another machine, you'll need to activate fabsticky there too (see "Moving to a new PC" above for single-seat licenses).

Where are my notes stored?

Locally, in your Windows user profile — nothing is uploaded anywhere. This also means your notes aren't backed up automatically, so back up that folder yourself if you rely on the notes.
