Product Description:

Sidenote try to catch the "Stickies" spirit but in the form of a multi-document drawer that will hide in the corner of your screen (left or right). You can use it to take all your daily notes, include images and easily modify text color and font.

Sidenote will automatically expand so that you will be able to drag into it any picture, text clipping or pdf file from the finder or your favorite application.

With notes auto-saving, you'll never have to save your notes. Sidenote will handle that for you. You can also print them or export them to rtf.

What's new in this version:

  • There was a bug in 1.6 related to colors when creating a new note. It has been corrected in this release.
  • After closing the drawer, focus is now returned to the previously open application.

Operating System Requirements:

This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:

  • Mac OS X 10.4 PPC
  • Mac OS X 10.3.9
  • Mac OS X 10.3

Additional Requirements:

  • Mac OS X 10.3.8 or higher
    Tiger compatible

Sidenote ReviewOne of my Indispensible Apps! - Version: 1.7.3, 5/25/2009 09:19PM PST

The problem with Stickies, for me is the lack of easy access. I have to keep them in the doc (or figure another way to launch quickly) OR keep them open all the time. I guess that would be ok IF that wouldn't cause my desktop to be covered with more junk. Stickies makes my computer screen as cluttered as the scraps of paper all over my physical desktop! To find any note, I have to sift through the pile to find notes that may be behind other notes.

The Stickies type apps I've been able to find are still apps that must be launched. They have generally addressed the clutter problem by giving an index or search feature but often have gone into over kill and are no longer simple little apps.

Enter Sidenote, which is such an improvement over the rest, I can't believe Apple hasn't added it to the system. Choose a hotkey or an area of the screen to touch and Sidenote scrolls out for use! Brilliant! You can even sync over multiple machines by setting the preferences to save to a network storage device (I use my Mobile Me iDisk).

My only gripe - No updates since 2007. If I had not been using Sidenote so long, I probably would not take a chance. It generally makes me nervous to use software that has not been updated within a year or so, but I have to say, I'm up to Leopard 10.5.7 and Sidenote it is still operating fine.

There was no crash, no nothing. Simply the content of the notes disappeared. Worked two houres to recover the rtfd-files, no sucess. better do not store important info like ideas in the sidenote window.

sideNote is one of the top most useful utilities in the Mac universe. Seriously. For those who believe likewise, please add feedback to the shameful rip-off of this free utility called SlidePad. It is infinitely perplexing why that developer would so shamefully rip off sideNote and then have the gall to charge $20 for it.
