Specs

As its name suggests, this tool borrows heavily from Apple's Stickies application.

You can create three different styles of outline note: Colour windows look most like Apple Stickies notes, while Metal and Normal versions boast Apple's brushed-metal and Aqua livery respectively.

Of all the tools reviewed here, this is the least elegantly engineered. Text jumps alarmingly to the left during editing, and the application does demonstrate some un-Mac-like tendencies in its behaviour and interface design.

Like Process, To-Do Stickies stores all of its documents in one central file, loading them all up on screen when you launch the application. Things can get a little cluttered, but at least the Colour-type stickies can be collapsed. Each sticky has a field for comments, but these are generic to the entire note rather than being specific to individual entries.

To-Do Stickies features a reasonable set of keyboard commands, but it still offers little advantage over the free Deep Notes and significantly less power than Process.
