• Great!!!! With one minor improvement...

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />This app is great. I've been after something that was more fully-featured than Stickies, but essentially along the same lines. This app does everything I wanted. Brilliant! The only one new feature I need to make it completely 100% useful for me would be to add a setting to set the default window level for new stickies. Currently, I have to change this after creating the sticky. Not a big deal, but something that would be awesome. Also, the ability to remove little right tab that sticks out from the side of the sticky when it isn't foreground... my sticky looks a bit odd with a massive 'A' stuck out the side of it for each sticky! If these couple of items could be looked at, I'd gladly pay for this. Thanks!

• excellent! Best replacement for Stickies

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Sketchbox is great! You can use it for a replacement for Stickies and it works just as good. Lots of options to configure and customize. Then you can be creative by drawing on stickies or task-oriented by setting calendar alerts. I like the options here...and you don't have to use those features. This works great and the developer is super-repsonsive. Plus being free, this beats many pay-for Sticky programs hands-down.

• WOW!! What an app!!

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />....and I don't use the word "WOW" a lot either =0) . This little beauty (Sketchbox) reminds me why I loved the Mac ever since I clapped eyes on an SE/30 all those years ago. You can even drag a png file to it!! (from "snapndrag" I should add; another brilliant freeware utility btw ;) ). The fact that you can use a tablet to scribble ideas down too is fabulous- and the clock feature, with its dragable programming?!?! Unbelievable!! I will be donating to omz software for this one - it will be worth every penny :D One minor reservation, I haven't been able to hide the main window without hiding the stickies yet (apart from putting it in the dock). In fact I don't really get the need for that window, apart from organising stickies.

• And good support, too

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I echo the previous comments and would add that the developer has been very responsive to requests. I asked for the ability to change the background color no more than a week ago, and here already is an update that does this. For me, this program provides a nice alternative to the various "to do" list programs out there. (SketchBox does more than just this, by the way.)

• Great for note taking

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I use this to help me take notes in medical school. It really helps in classes like Biochemistry where you draw structures and then have to add text. Very simple and effective program. I love that it supports the tablet.
