Hi Sticky: Sticky Notes
Quick Notes, Lists & Widgets
Free · In-App Purchases
Work smarter with private, on-device Note Assist, interactive checklist widgets, Spotlight search, and Handoff across your Apple devices.
Hi Sticky is a fast, visual sticky notes app for iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, and Apple Vision Pro. Capture an idea instantly, create a checklist, and keep every note synced with iCloud.
Open Hi Sticky and start writing. Give each note its own font and background, recognize it at a glance in the visual note list, and keep Favorites above every sort order. Search across all notes or find matching text inside the note you are reading.
