Worth knowing
Notezilla
- The desktop program is Windows only. Mac access is through the web app or the iPad app, which the App Store marks as not verified for macOS.
- The $29.95 one-time plan cannot sync or reach notes from other PCs, phones or the web; that needs the yearly subscription.
- The subscription adds $10.00 to the first year, and after it lapses the permanent license covers a single computer.
- On the one-time plan, major new versions are sold at a discounted price instead of being included.
Simple Sticky Notes
- Windows only: it runs on Windows 7 through 11, including Arm64 versions of Windows 10 and 11.
- Notes are kept in a local Notes.db file, and moving them to another PC is done with the backup and restore functions.
- Restoring a backup permanently deletes every note currently in the app, including trashed ones.
- The freeware license allows the maker to place announcements of its other products in the software.
Key features
Notezilla
- Desktop sticky notes
- Notes sit on the Windows desktop, can stay on top of other apps, and can be moved into folders called memoboards to clear the desktop.
- Notes attached to documents and sites
- A note can be stuck to a web page, document, program, folder or window, and shows up when that item is opened again.
- Reminders and checklists
- Any note can carry a reminder alarm, and checklist notes hold to-do items with checkboxes that can be ticked off and sorted.
- Sync and phone access
- With the subscription, notes sync between computers and with the iPhone/iPad and Android apps and the Notezilla.Net web app.
- Sending notes to other people
- Notes can be sent to computers on the local network or to contacts over the internet; people without Notezilla get them as email.
- Tags, pictures and skins
- Tags group related notes, pictures can be pasted into a note, and skins change a note's paper texture and color.
Simple Sticky Notes
- Desktop sticky notes
- Double-clicking the tray icon adds a note to the desktop. Each note can be hidden, recolored and given its own opacity.
- Alarm reminders
- A note can be given an alarm so that it reminds you of a task at a set time.
- Checklists
- Checkboxes turn a note into a checklist, with indented child items that follow their parent when it is checked or unchecked.

- One window shows all notes, searches them, sorts them into notebooks and gives access to deleted notes.
- Print, export and share
- Notes can be printed, exported as text or RTF files, and shared to Twitter and WhatsApp.
- Themes, sounds and dark mode
- The site's Store offers note themes and alarm sounds that install by double-clicking an .ssnex file, and the app has a dark mode.
