Stickies is a Macintosh application for putting Post-it Note -like windows on the screen, with short reminders, notes and other clippings.

The first version of Stickies was written by Apple employee Jens Alfke and included in System 7.5 . It is also included in Mac OS X , now with features such as transparent notes, styled text and the ability to embed pictures in notes.

In System 7.5, there is an Easter Egg . Steps to find it:

Create a new note.

Type "Antler!" without the quotes.

Also, typing "secret about box" and dragging it into the desktop allows you to play a Breakout-like game, or view a picture of the Apple building with an interactive flag, as well.

In Mac OS X V10.4 , Stickies is one of the widgets included with Dashboard .

Similar applications are available for most other operating systems. A generic term for such applications is " Desktop Notes ".

There are also web versions of the same idea. See www.mystickies.com for more details (new in Jan 2006).

Windows open-source clone of this software.
