DeskStick: Sync Sticky Notes

Sticky notes synced everywhere

Free

Sticky notes that sync across iPhone, iPad, and Mac via iCloud. Now with home screen widgets. A handy scratchpad for AI prompts, LLM outputs, drafts, and quick ideas. DeskStick is a sticky notes app that syncs your notes across all your Apple devices via iCloud. Stick with your ideas, prompts, and AI outputs — wherever you are. DeskStick works particularly well as a lightweight companion for anyone who uses popular AI assistants every day. Keep reusable prompts pinned and ready, and park generated drafts before pasting them into your real editor or document. KEY FEATURES • iCloud Sync Your stickies are automatically synced across iPhone, iPad, and Mac via iCloud. Start a note on one device and pick it up on another. • Color Coding Organize notes by color. Separate work, personal, and experimental ideas at a glance. Colors sync via iCloud too. • Organize View Browse all your stickies in a single list or grid view. Switch display modes to fit how you think. • Home Screen Widgets Surface your latest notes on your home screen. Choose between a multi-note list widget and a single-sticky widget in small, medium, and large sizes. Tap a widget to jump straight into the note. Updates from any device sync to the widget automatically. • Lightweight & Focused No accounts, no ads, no clutter. Just notes that stay with you across your devices. USE CASES FOR THE AI ERA A snippet board for prompts you reuse Templates such as "code review prompt", "meeting notes summarizer", or "translate to English" can each live on their own sticky. They stay reachable while you bounce between browser tabs and chat apps, ready to be copied into the next AI conversation. Color coding makes it easy to separate work, personal, and experimental prompts at a glance. A draft pad for Slack, email, and chat messages Before you hit send on something written in the heat of the moment, write it on a sticky and read it back — that one extra beat is what saves you from "I shouldn't have said that". Drafting on a sticky instead of directly in the recipient's input field also avoids accidental sends. Especially valuable for sensitive customer replies, reports to your manager, and anything you'll regret sending unedited. A scratchpad for LLM outputs When an AI returns a code snippet or a draft, you often want to compare a few versions before committing them to your editor or document. DeskStick acts as a disposable scratchpad for those LLM outputs. Cross-device AI workflows Start drafting a prompt on your iPhone during your commute and finish it on your Mac at your desk. Because notes sync via iCloud, the constant "save a fragment, pick it up somewhere else" rhythm of working with AI fits naturally with DeskStick. Why DeskStick Unlike many basic sticky note apps, DeskStick is built around iCloud sync that reaches iPhone, iPad, and Mac together — well-suited to high-frequency note taking around AI tools. REQUIREMENTS • iOS 16.0 or later • An iCloud account signed in on your device • iCloud Drive enabled A companion macOS app is also available, so your notes follow you between iPhone, iPad, and Mac. DeskStick is a paid app — your purchase directly supports continued development and CloudKit infrastructure costs. Built by an indie developer.
