Desktop notes are computer applications that allow putting Post-it note-like windows on the screen, with reminders, short notes and other clippings.

Desktop notes are typically rectangular and yellow, like their real-world counterpart, but most applications support other colours and more elaborate designs.

The original desktop note application is Stickies, which was developed for the Macintosh by Jens Alfke and included by Apple in System 7. A number of applications have duplicated the functionality of Stickies on other platforms, such as the Microsoft Windows-based minimalist Desktop Notes and advanced Power Notes.
