About this Sticky Notes App

What is this tool?

This "Sticky Notes" application is a simple, client-side web tool for organizing your thoughts, ideas, and reminders. It works entirely within your browser, which means it's fast, private, and works offline once the page has loaded. Your notes are now automatically saved to your browser's local storage and will persist between sessions.

This app has names like QuickNotes, ThoughtPad, or StickyCanvas in some countries. These names are great whether users are looking for a simple notepad or a visual space for brainstorming. In Spanish, for instance, a name like Notas Adhesivas or Bloc de Notas ensures that people searching for a digital notebook will easily find it. Similarly, for German speakers, Haftnotizen is the most common term for sticky notes, while Digitale Notizen is also a great descriptive option. In Portuguese, this app could be named Notas Autocolantes or Bloco de Notas Digital, which are both popular and highly recognizable terms.

How does it work?

This app is built using standard web technologies: HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. All of the functionality, including creating notes, dragging them, and handling file import/export, is managed by a single JavaScript file. The notes are stored locally in your browser's memory, so they are not saved between sessions unless you explicitly export them. Drag-and-drop functionality is handled by listening for mouse and touch events to update the position of the notes on the page.

Key Features:

  • Create Notes: Easily add new sticky notes to the page.
  • Drag & Drop: Move notes around freely to organize them visually.
  • Resize Notes: Notes can be resized by dragging the bottom-right corner.
  • Import/Export: Save your notes to a `.json` file and load them back into the app at any time.
  • Client-Side & Private: All operations are performed on your device. Your data is never sent to a server.
  • Responsive Design: The app layout adjusts automatically for different screen sizes, including mobile and desktop.
