Stickies is a Macintosh application for putting Post-it note-like windows on the screen, with short reminders, notes and other clippings.
The first version of Stickies was written by Apple employee Jens Alfke and included in System 7.5. It is also included in Mac OS X, now with features such as transparent notes, styled text and the ability to embed pictures in notes. In Jaguar Mac OS X, Stickies is able to adopt a 3D view.
In Mac OS X v10.4, Stickies is one of the widgets included with Dashboard.
Similar applications are available for most other operating systems. A generic term for such applications is "desktop notes".
