Download.com staffNovember 7, 2008

Those in the market for a simple, free program for jotting down quick notes and creating desktop reminders will not be disappointed with ATnotes.

Right-clicking the system tray icon lets you determine how your notes appear and behave. You'll find options for changing the note color as well as the font type, size, and color. Notes can display texts such as the date and time when you launched it. Right-clicking a note lets you access other options, including the ability to insert file, URL, or program shortcut in the note and schedule reminder alarms (with the ability to select an accompanying WAV file). Also, you can set recurring reminders and alert you by flashing the note or launching an application when it expires. Moreover, ATnotes has hot-key support, and allows you to search and organize notes into folders.

The ability to password-protect notes or choose an application or document on which they will appear would've been great. But, as is, its functionality suits busy home or business users alike. Overall, ATnotes is easy to use, effective, and best of all, free.

The best sticky-note software
January 14, 2015
Pros
Has all the features you'll ever need.
Cons
None for me.
Summary
Others have summarized it, so I'll just say that I'm using Version 9.41 with Windows 7. It works perfectly. I rejected Version 9.5 because it removed the "Format Lines" feature, which I use quite frequently. (Sometimes you paste something from the Internet into a note and it appears as one long line that runs off the screen. "Format Lines" fixes this.) This program has seen me through about four computers over the past 12 years. I wish I could ask Thomas Ascher why he abandoned it. I wouldn't want to be without it.
Couldn't Manage Without It

Pros
- Easy to create and edit notes - Customizable colour, text, borders, and a lot more - Outstanding Facility to add audio alerts
Cons
- Whats to not like
Summary
For people with lousy memories like me, or those who just require a reminder, you need look no further than this application. It's stunning. I'm amazed that there's been no revision since February 2007 - guess it's hard to improve upon perfection.
AT NOTES..Doesn't

Pros
Wouldn't work...no pros
Cons
Wouldn't work after installation. No "Note" pop up to write upon, no pasting, no anything. DOA
Summary
Forget it.
This is software I cannot do without!

Pros
Helps keep my mind intact. Easier than real sticky notes or carrying a notebook, my appts, special phone numbers and email addresses are right on my computer desktop - impossible to lose or misplace. I've used this utility thru 3 computers!
Cons
I really can't think of any Cons!
Summary
This is a very simple and compact program that has changed my world -- no, seriously. I have problems with my memory and finding that important stuff is hard. So I just click on my ATNOTES icon and do a mind dump onto my desktop and, voila!, can't lose my note. I've been using ATNOTES since I discovered it about 10 years ago (I need to upgrade, I'm still, I just noticed, at Version 7.4). And it's one of the first things I load when I get a new computer. This is GREAT software!
Fantastic program - Regrettably NO GO in Windows 7

Summary
It is very helpful in my daily activities.

Pros
I love having this as a reminder for the stuff that I would otherwise probably forget to get done.
Cons
There is nothing I dislike about this product
Summary
I love having this reminder on my desktop each and every day until I get the job done. When I start up my computer there it is, thanks.
"Simply The Best". I can't believe this is free !!

Pros
Extremely simple and user friendly. The best basic, yet powerful sticky note, appointment reminder, alarm that I've ever tried. Nothing extravagant or fancy, no nonsense. It just does what you want it do. I've installed this baby on all my computers.
Cons
The only con is the fact that I have wasted my time with so many other sticky notes and reminders and only recently stumbled on this little bundle of joy !!!
Summary
I think i said it all already !!!
Handy, easy, flexible
jlrtdJanuary 16, 2010
Pros
Easy to change colors, set alarms, search the list of notes.
Cons
Somewhat limited in choice of fonts for notes.
Summary
I used this product for 10 years on a previous computer & wouldn't be without it. Better than Outlook in that notes set with reminder times pop up right in my face so they get noticed. Simple to create, format and size notes. Very simple & easy.
It's great! Just what I need. Thanks!
