  description

  Turn every new tab into a flexible whiteboard built for quick planning and visual organization.
  
  Sticky Notes gives you a freeform sticky-note space with simple controls, configurable board sections, and real-time sync through your Chrome profile.

  Turn every new tab into a sticky-note board you can actually think on.
  
  Write anything down. Drag it anywhere. Snap it into columns, quadrants, or halves when you need structure — then flip layout off again when you don't. Your notes stay where you put them, even across different-sized monitors.
  
  Four distinct looks
  • Paper — photorealistic sticky notes with soft shadows, slight rotations, and a warm board feel
  • Simple — flat, clean classic stickies
  • Minimal — modern flat cards with a faint grid, Inter typography, glassmorphic toolbar
  • Focus — deep dark mode with glowing cards, monospace type, and hairline column dividers
  
  Built for real use
  • Drag any note anywhere on the screen — completely freeform, no grid snap, no constraints
  • Resize any note by the bottom-right handle
  • Text or checklist notes — convert between them at any time
  • 9-color palette per note
  • Drop to trash to delete
  • Optional columns (1–8), quadrants, or halves as a background guide
  • Custom region labels and colors
  
  Synced across devices
  Your notes sync through Chrome's built-in account sync. Open a new tab on any machine signed into your Chrome profile and your board shows up.
  
  Private by default
  Only the "storage" permission. No host access. No network calls. No trackers. Your notes live in your own Chrome storage — nothing leaves your account.
  
  Resilient
  • Automatic tombstone pruning (90 days)
  • Exponential-backoff retry on sync failures
  • Export/import backups as JSON
  • Sync-quota meter so you can see how full your sync storage is
  
  Perfect for
  • Daily todo lists that don't need a whole app
  • Quick-capture thinking space on the new tab
  • Lightweight kanban for solo projects (no logins, no accounts)
  • A distraction-free writing surface that travels with your browser
