POST-IT like programs


Here's a list of tested software so far (18 in total). I found a lot more, but most weren't even worth the bandwidth:

CRAP (awful looking, lack of features, not configurable enough, ..):

cs desktop notes
dtnotes
easy sticky note
gyz task notes
note wonder
scribble it
smart notes
sticky note organizer
sticky reminder note
tenebril stickynotes - 3d skinnable




O.K.

I tested post-it pro v3.1 (latest) by 3m too, but it didn't work "right" with winXP.

I made this list for myself, to keep track of testing, but I thought it could be of use to other people.

If you'd like to recommend any other for me to test, just email me.
