We mainly use sticky notes to jot down our thoughts. We also use them to copy-paste content from the web or many other places. This content may be very lengthy at times. When we have such lengthy sticky notes on our desktop, they make look clustered and come in the way of our other tasks.
A feature to minimize the sticky note and maximize it anytime at our convenience would be the best solution. But how? Most sticky notes software, including the leading Windows sticky notes, do not have any such feature.
We therefore bring to you an alternative software, Notezilla.
Here is a short video showing this feature:

Windows uses the Segoe Print font. Changing the default font is currently not supported in Sticky Notes. You will have to type your text in the desired font in a text editor like Word, and copy-paste it in your sticky note. This might help you get the font you want.
But this is an unneeded task. Why waste time doing this when you can directly format text from within the note itself in Notezilla.
Text formatting in Notezilla
Here is a short video perfectly depicting this feature:
Notezilla provides varied options to edit a sticky note. It supports text formatting features like :
and lots more. There are also shortcut keys available for faster formatting.

Install it on your phone from App Store or Google Play Store & sync all your sticky notes with the Windows version of Notezilla.
We often store important information in our sticky notes. Losing the data due to any reason say upgrade or while trying to import from other software is thus a significant threat. What is required is a secure method to back up the data and safely restore it anytime. And what about moving them to another system? This is an important feature too.
With the recent updates in Windows sticky notes, we surely are happy with the new sync feature and dark theme. It will make our experience better for sure. But taking backups and restoring is still tedious and time-consuming.
We therefore present to you an alternative software, Notezilla which will take multiple backups for you and restore all your sticky notes back from the cloud.

When you think of a sticky note, the first thing you would obviously expect is for it to stick. Well, that’s why it’s called a sticky note. But what about digital sticky notes? How would I stick them anywhere? You would be surprised that you can literally stick/attach digital sticky notes to websites, documents, apps, folders, and emails in your Windows PC and mobile devices.
This feature is rarely available in any sticky note software, including the much-acclaimed Windows sticky notes, which has advanced with exciting updates. We therefore bring to you an alternative software, Notezilla that lets you stick notes anywhere and everywhere!

A visual showing one of the features of Notezilla.
Here is a short video perfectly depicting this feature:
Notezilla lets you to associate a sticky note with any document, website, program or a window (such as an email window, or Windows Explorer).
Sticking a Note
To stick a note to any window, right-click on the sticky note title and choose ‘Stick To Window’ 0icon from the menu. A faster way to do this is to use the shortcut key Ctrl+W. You will be shown the list of windows that are currently open. These windows include websites, documents, and programs currently open. Just select a window from the list and choose the OK button to stick the note.
Tip: You can directly stick a note to the underlying window by pressing Ctrl+Shift+W keys from the note.
Sticking notes to websites and web pages
We frequently visit certain websites like shopping websites, bank websites, etc. to access information or any other purpose. But have you ever imagined that you could pin sticky notes to the website? You can do that with Notezilla sticky notes. The sticky note will immediately pop up when you access that particular website. This can save you a lot of effort and valuable time.
For step by step guide on how to do this, you can read the following blog post on the same:
Attaching sticky notes to Microsoft Word, Excel and other types of documents
You can attach sticky notes to any type of document in a similar manner in Windows. The note will pop up when you open the document. This will help you accomplish tasks faster.
You can read the below blog post for more information:
The process of sticking notes to a folder is the same as sticking notes to any other website or document using Notezilla. However, to make it work correctly, there is a setting in Windows Explorer that needs to be enabled.
Notezilla sticks sticky notes to different web pages, documents, folders & emails based on the title of the window. In the case of Windows Explorer, by default, the title of the window is the folder name. So here comes the problem. If you have multiple folders with the same name, then the sticky note would show up on all those folders because of the same window title. This is not what we want.
To solve this, we have to enable a setting in Windows Explorer – “Display the full path in title bar.” On Windows 7 and above, you would also see a note “Classic theme only” against this setting. It only means that the full path will be shown only in the Classic Windows theme. Other themes will use the full path internally (which is what Notezilla requires).
Sticking notes to emails
This is another beneficial feature. You can attach sticky notes to emails that can help you stay updated and always ahead. Note that the note is only stuck there, and it is not associated with the mail. Meaning, it will not be sent along with mail or deleted along with the mail.
Shortcut
Here’s your reward for reading till here: A shortcut to making life easier!
Notezilla uses the title of the window to show or hide a particular sticky note. Sometimes, you may want to stick the note to windows of a similar kind. Ex: All pages of Amazon website, or all documents in Microsoft Word. In such cases, you would need to use the ‘wildcard’ method.
To match only a part of the window title, double click on any window title that is listed (shown in the above picture) and prefix or suffix the title with the * wildcard.
Examples: 1. *Google Search* (shows the note for any search query in Google and in any browser) 2. *Microsoft Outlook (shows the note even if you change folders in Outlook)
Now, this is what you call beauty with brains!
Notezilla thus saves a lot of your time and efforts and makes your sticky note experience joyful.
And here is another attractive feature. Notezilla has free apps for iPhone, iPad & Android to let you access your sticky notes anytime and anywhere! Install it on your phone from App Store or Google Play Store & sync all your sticky notes with the Windows version of Notezilla.
This article will show you how to switch between different sets of sticky notes to stick when you are working from different locations or working from different PCs. That is, you can have a set of sticky notes visible on one desktop and a different set of sticky notes visible on another desktop. This can be done only using Notezilla.

Switching between desktop sticky notes
Let us look at an example.
Let us say you have a different set of notes for your work and personal information. When at work, you only want to have work-related notes appear on your desktop and not your personal notes. And at home, you want the opposite, i.e., only personal notes and not work notes.
Manually hiding each note from the desktop and then sticking the other set of notes is not a wise option, especially if you have to keep doing this every day, that too twice.
So how will you achieve this quickly and without much effort?
At this moment, an important feature of Notezilla steps in: Memoboards!
A memo board is a folder inside which sticky notes can be placed. They are like containers for sticky notes. The stickies are neatly arranged in each memo board, just like a storyboard.
Why use Memo Boards?
You can simultaneously view the contents of multiple sticky notes. Memo boards appear within the Notes Browser, a feature that lets you view, sort, and filter all of your notes at once. The Notes Browser lets you keep virtually unlimited sticky notes inside memo boards.
Memo Boards can help you do lots more.
Watch this short video for more clarity:
How will these memoboards help me switch?
The first thing you will do is create separate memoboards for both your office & personal sticky notes. The notes of each type will go into their respective memoboard.
So now, when you are at home, but your office notes are at the desktop:
1. Hide all existing desktop notes. Left-click on the Notezilla icon and choose the option “Hide all desktop notes.”
2. Next, go to the memoboard containing your personal notes. From the notes list, select all notes by pressing Ctrl+A and then choose ‘Stick to desktop’ option:
3. All the notes from this memoboard will now stick to your desktop!
Back at work:
Go to your personal memoboard. Select all the notes in the same way by pressing Ctrl+A and select the option, “Remove from desktop”. And all your personal notes will be instantly hidden!
Then stick your work notes on the desktop by going to your work memoboard and repeating the steps mentioned above. All work-related notes are now on the desktop!
This is so simple and fast. Notezilla therefore lets you work smoothly.
Bonus tip: Mark both the memobaords as ‘favorite’ and access them faster.
Notezilla thus makes your sticky note experience really productive. And guess what? Notezilla also has free apps for iPhone, iPad & Android to let you access your sticky notes anytime and anywhere! Install it on your phone from App Store or Google Play Store & sync all your sticky notes with the Windows version of Notezilla.
We are all aware of the latest updates in Windows sticky notes. While they are handy and will help make our work smoother, we haven’t yet found a much-needed feature: Multi-level bulleting and indentation. We can add bullets in Windows Sticky notes, but only of one type and only one level, while what we need the most are multiple level bullets and indentation, also called outlining.
It is a helpful feature when working on various projects.
Not many of the sticky notes programs offer this function. We, therefore, bring to you, an alternative software, Notezilla which will let you perform outlining (multiple level bullets and numbering) in your sticky notes.

In Notezilla, you can press Shift+Tab to go back to one level down. To add bullets without using the menu, you can use Ctrl+Shift+L. Then use Tab and Shift-Tab to indent & unindent.
Why Notezilla?
Notezilla helps you mind map your tasks, goals and even the simplest thoughts. You do not need a separate planning tool for your tasks. Your list grows in a structured fashion, and it ensures that your tasks do not get mixed up. Assigning tasks and tracking them becomes easy and fast too.

Virtual sticky notes let you instantly type what’s on your mind without changing your task in hand. It provides a lot of ease, and they stay there right in front of you when you are working. For this reason, sticky notes are better than other types of note programs.
An essential thing when working on projects would be the ability to Tag your Sticky Notes. Tags are labels or categories that you can assign to notes to group them and locate them quickly.
This feature is not offered by most of the digital sticky note software. But you can do that using an alternative software, Notezilla, where tagging is one of it’s most useful feature.

Having the sticky note on the desktop right in front of your eyes is good but, it gets annoying at times when there are a lot of notes on the desktop. It looks very cluttered and unprofessional.
