Every sticky notes app I tried just runs a background process to display notes on the desktop, and they need Accessibility permission to keep notes floating around. I wanted something that supports widgets natively, so I built one. StickyNotes uses real macOS widgets so your notes live on your desktop without any background hacks. It also supports Markdown, colored notes, adjustable font sizes, and everything stays local on your Mac. No accounts, no cloud, no tracking.

Hey Product Hunt! I built StickyNotes because I couldn't find a sticky notes app that actually uses native macOS widgets.
Every app I tried just runs a background process at startup to display notes on the desktop, and they need Accessibility permission to keep them floating around. That felt wrong to me. I wanted something that uses real native widgets, so I built it myself.
What it does:
- Native macOS widgets so your notes show up on your desktop or Notification Center without any background hacks
- Markdown support for formatting (headings, bold, lists, code blocks)
- Colored notes and adjustable font sizes
- Local-first, no accounts, no cloud, no data collection
It's $6.99 one-time purchase on the Mac App Store. Would love to hear what you think!
