Dirbant kompiuteriu dažnai būna atvejų, kai mums reikia ką nors greitai užsirašyti, paplanuoti, susidaryti tvarkaraštį ar paprasčiausia pasižymėti ką reiktų padaryti. Iš pradžių mes bandom atsiminti ir dažniausia aišku nesėkmingai, tad po kelių tokių atvejų suprantam, jog reikia užsirašinėti. Tokiems užuomaršoms tikras išsigelbėjimas klijuojami lapukai, kuriuose užsirašai ką reikia ir pasikabini panosėj, kad nepamirštum. Žmogui, daug dirbančiam su kompiuteriu, puikiu pasirinkimu taps elektroninis šių klijuojamų lapukų variantas – Stickies.
Atsisiuntus programą pirmiausia jus pasveikins programos kūrėjų įrašas. Norint pridėti savo įrašą, galėsime tai padaryti paspaudę ant programos piktogramos pranešimų srityje. Programa patogi tuo, jog sukūrus kokį nors priminimą jis lieka pas jus ant darbastalio ir nedings tol kol neuždarysite. Tokiais priminimais galime užlipdyti nors ir visą savo darbastalį, galima padaryti jog kai kurie priminimai būtų antrame plane, o kai kurie pirmame. Susikūrę priminimą Jūs tikrai nieko nepamiršite. Didelis programos privalumas tas, jog priminimai saugomi ne kur nors sistemoje, o tekstiniuose failuose. Visi prie darbastalio „priklijuoti“ priminimai liks savo vietose ir po kompiuterio perkrovimo. Užrašo turinio redagavimas labai paprastas – pasirenkam reikalingą priminimą ir renkam reikalingą tekstą. Šrifto dydis, spalvos, stilius ir kiti dalykai redaguojasi iš kontekstinio meniu. Kiekvieną priminimą galime nusistatyti savaip, taip kaip jums patinka. Yra ir vaizdo pridėjimo galimybė, tik pridėti reikia ant tuščio lapuko vilkimo būdu.

A computerized version of Post-It notes
Stickies was designed to store all information in a single text-based ini file.
Stickies will never support animated dancing figures, or play „Greensleeves“. They are instead yellow rectangular windows onto which you can put some text notes. Once created, they will stay on screen until you take them away. Just like a real sticky piece of paper.
How to use Stickies:
If you use Stickies as a reminder program:
· Send a sticky to sleep to hide it until you need to be reminded
· Set recurring reminders to be reminded at a set time every day, week or month
· Set an alarm to have a sticky grab your attention at some point
· Change sticky colours to show different priorities, and change appearance quickly using styles
· Press and hold the control key, and then scroll the mouse wheel to make the sticky text larger or smaller
· Use bullets to make keeping a list simpler
If you send Stickies over the network:
· Quickly send a sticky back after adding some text by pressing control-r to reply
· Send stickies in secret mode to allow the recipient to choose when to call the sticky up onto screen
· Force all incoming stickies to secret mode if you prefer not being interrupted with incoming messages
· Get a task-tray balloon when someone sends you a secret sticky to see who it’s from
· Set up logging so that you can keep a record of all stickies you send and receive
· Apply your style to the text you add, so you can quickly and easily see who said what when a sticky is passed back and forth in a conversation
· Set some favourite friends to quickly send to some other users or groups of users
· Set up Stickies to use an SMTP server to which it will send stickies which can’t be instantly transmitted
· Set the address of another copy of Stickies on the Automation tab to keep your friends list up-to-date
If you use Stickies to store information:
· Use rolled up mode to fit as much information on screen at once
· Enable direct sizing, and scroll up and down stickies with a large amount of text on them
· Set the title bar text to summarise what information is on the sticky
· Hide and show all stickies with the keyboard shortcut to quickly bring back your information
· Store URLs on them, and then double-click the URL open it
· Make stickies transparent normally, and then turn opaque when you edit them
· Use Stickies Store to squirrel away information you don’t access too often
Here are some key features of „Stickies“:
· Once on screen, stickies will remain where placed until closed, even through reboots
· Stickies appearance can be customised; fonts, colours and buttons may be changed, and styles saved. Stickies can be resized.
· Stickies can snap to each others edges to keep them lined up
Stickies can be transferred from one machine to another either over a TCP/IP network connection, or by using an SMTP mail server or MAPI client:
· Hierarchical friends list, which may be automatically transferred from other friends
· Play a sound file on receive
· Signature for transmitted or emailed stickies
· Favourite friends, and custom lists can be made
· Stickies can be hidden for a certain period, until a specified date and time, or to wake every day, week or month, to act as reminders.
· Stickies can have alarms set to ensure you notice them at a point you choose
· Stickies can be transferred to and from your Palm or PPC PDA.
· International language support
· Stickies is small and simple, it writes to a single text file, and does not touch the registry
