If you often tried to schedule Sticky Notes but failed, then this tool called Alarm Stickies can help you. It helps you create and set reminders for your sticky notes on your Windows desktop so that you can get a notification at a predefined time.
Alarm Stickies for Windows PC
You can set alarm reminders on Windows 10 PC using Alarm Stickies. Once the time is reached, the sticky automatically jumps in the center of the screen. Sometimes we forget to remember important things, and the in-built app, Sticky Notes, helps. However, it doesn’t come with a “schedule” functionality. You can use the Alarm Stickies tool on your PC to get the job done.
Apart from that, this tool offers the following features-
- Notification with sound: When some apps notify users from Action Center, Alarm Stickies plays music so that users get the reminder loud and clear. However, it is not possible to choose a custom sound.
- Schedule multiple notes: Even if you want to schedule numerous sticky notes, you can do that with the help of this software.
- Quarterly calendar: It allows users to check all the reminders from the past and future 12 months.
- Set a recurring reminder: If you want to get a notification multiple times, you can set a recurring reminder.
- Notes management: It has a panel, which shows all the reminders in one place so that you can modify or delete them as per your requirements. A similar thing is also available to check all the old notes.
There are other features of this tool. However, you need to use it to know about them all.
