Sticky notes are a popular way of jotting down notes, to-do lists and the lunchtime shopping list, when we’re at work. Indeed, many of us take some of the office pads home and use them for posting notes on our fridge freezer. The bright yellow pad enables us to quickly see a reminder note, before we head to work.

Hott Notes is a free tool that enables you to write and place sticky-type notes on your desktop (computer screen). You can use these notes in the usual manner – reminders, lists and more. The notes can be displayed in various translucent colours, so that you can use one colour for reminders, another for business notes and a colour for home-related reminders.

This is the portable version of the sticky notes application, which will enable you to take your notes on the road.
