And, hence, my previous frustration about Sticky Notes not living up to its potential. There are ways to minimize the notes, but not as convenient as they ought to have been. And to open it again, you have to dive into your notes list in the app. The only option present is the Close icon that closes the sticky note. Is there a way to hide or minimize these notes? The minimize button is, after all, curiously missing from the sticky note interface.

It’s perfect for noting down little things.īut for users who have a habit of jotting down important things on sticky notes and keeping them on the desktop, these notes can pile up.

Or you could close the note and open it again from the app at any time later.

You could let the note hang out on your desktop if it’s something you need to get back to soon. You need to make a note of something, just open a sticky note and write it down. Despite its shortcomings, it gets the job done. But don’t just completely write it off yet. It’s part of the reason why most users turn to it despite room for many improvements the community is constantly asking for. Sticky Notes is an integrated Windows app that you don’t need to download separately. And you also save paper while you’re at it! Each note you create in the app can be a post-it note only you stick these notes on your desktop and not your fridge. For now, it’s a convenient app that lets you make post-it-like notes on your computer. Sticky Notes is one of those Windows apps that has a lot of potential but has yet to realize it. Easy ways to hide those sticky notes from the desktop without closing them.
