Download PNotes 9.0.107 Free
PNotes is highly customizable, flexible and free sticky note software that will allow you to keep your tasks and to-dos visible and on-schedule.
If you have ever used a real sticky note, you'll get the idea behind PNotes. If you have an appointment to remember, something to buy, a person to email or even a new word to learn, just jot it down and stick it somewhere visible, or, in the case of PNotes, on your computer screen.
PNotes' strongest point is undoubtedly its organizational and customization options. Each note can be tweaked - you can change the font, color, transparency and size - and notes in general can be scheduled, skinned, docked, password protected and even encrypted.
All of these options can be modified under Preferences, while most note actions will be accessed via the PNotes icon in the taskbar. Double clicking will create a new note, and right-clicking will give you access to all of the program's options, including a Control Panel, which is perfect for the management of large numbers of notes.
PNotes also stands out for its organizational capabilities. You can group them, assign certain notes as favorites, mark in order of priority and even search notes by name or content. As you can schedule notes to appear only when you need them, you don't even have to clutter up your screen with multiple notes - a definite advantage over the paper kind.
PNotes might just be the perfect sticky note application.
