PNotes is a light-weight, flexible, skinnable manager of virtual "sticky" notes.
It features flexible settings (skins, fonts, colors, alarms, transparency level, etc), alarm scheduling, Explorer-style tree of groups & sub-groups, drag 'n drop, optional skin creator (159kB), fully portable, and more.
This is an excellent sticky notes type program with some terrific features that really enhance the basic concept.
Not only can you make the notes look almost anyway you like but you can move them from computer to computer because PNotes truly is portable. It runs from a USB flash drive as easily as from a hard drive.
You can use the alarm feature to get notes to announce appointments or other events, and you can use the Explorer-style tree structure to create groups and sub-groups of notes.
There are also lots of skins you can download and use to dress up your notes or, if you are inclined, you can even create your own skins using the optional skin creator.
We were most impressed with PNotes. It is one of the best "sticky" post-it style notes we have seen.
We loved!
Note: we have been advised that this program is not suitable for Windows 95.
