Frequently Asked Questions

How do I save my sticky notes?

Your sticky notes are automatically saved to your browser's local storage as you create and edit them. No manual saving is required. You can also export your notes as a JSON file using the Settings panel for additional backup or to transfer them to another device.

Can I use this tool on mobile devices?

Yes! The digital sticky notes tool is fully responsive and works great on mobile devices, tablets, and desktop computers. You can drag notes, edit content, and use all features on touch devices. The interface adapts to different screen sizes for optimal usability.

Question not found

If you clear your browser's local storage or cookies, your sticky notes will be lost. We recommend exporting your notes regularly using the "Export Notes" feature in the Settings panel to create backups. You can then import these backup files to restore your notes.

Can I share my sticky notes with others?

While the tool doesn't have built-in sharing features, you can export your notes as a JSON file and share that file with others. They can then import the file into their own sticky notes tool to view and edit your notes. This is useful for collaborative projects or sharing ideas.

Is there a limit to how many notes I can create?

There's no hard limit set by our tool, but your browser's local storage has a typical limit of 5-10MB per domain. For most users, this allows for hundreds or even thousands of sticky notes. If you reach the storage limit, you can export some notes to free up space or clear old notes you no longer need.

Can I customize the appearance of my notes?

Yes! You can change the color of each note using the color buttons on the bottom of each note. The tool provides 10 different colors with optimal text contrast. You can also toggle the grid background on/off and use fullscreen mode for a distraction-free experience.

How do I organize my notes effectively?

Use color coding to categorize different types of notes (e.g., yellow for general notes, red for urgent tasks). Group related notes together by dragging them close to each other on the canvas. Use the grid background for better alignment. Regularly clean up completed or outdated notes to keep your workspace organized.

Can I use this tool offline?

Yes! Once the page is loaded, you can use the digital sticky notes tool completely offline. All functionality including creating, editing, moving, and deleting notes works without an internet connection. Your notes will be saved locally and available the next time you visit the page.
