I built a sticky notes app that never gets in your way
I built stickies.lol because I was tired of sticky note apps that felt like full-blown word processors. I just wanted something lightweight that stayed out of my way until I needed it.
So I built a deck of notes that lives at the edge of your screen.
At rest, it's a thin 12pt pill docked to the right edge. Hover over it, and your notes fan out with a 45ms stagger. Click to open, type freely with markdown and slash commands, and your changes auto-save with hardware-tied DPAPI encryption.
What makes it different:
✦ Under 20MB RAM - built with Rust + Tauri v2, not Electron
✦ Zero telemetry - no analytics, no trackers, no background SDKs
✦ No account required - your notes live in a local SQLite file, encrypted, never touching a server
✦ Slash commands - /todo, /standup, /calc, /meeting, /clean, and more
✦ One network call ever - license activation via Polar.sh. That's it.
Pricing: $4.99 one-time. 3 devices. 7-day unrestricted trial (no credit card). Free lifetime updates.
I'd genuinely love your feedback - especially on whether the edge-docking feels natural on your setup. Happy to answer questions about the tech stack, privacy choices, or anything else!
