Stick 'Em Up is a desktop sticky notes application, similar to Apple's Stickies application which is included in Mac OS X. Stick 'Em Up lets you create notes in different colours and sizes that can contain rich text and graphics. With Stick 'Em Up you group your notes in to categories, only the notes in a selected category are shown on screen. You can navigate your categories via the application menu, keyboard commands, the dock icon menu, or with a small categories list window. You can import notes from Apple's Stickies application, plain text, rich text, html and word files. You can print notes in various styles and export to various formats.
No global search, cascading, tiling, and other features

Pros
The great thing about this program is its functionality for organizing notes into categories
Cons
While having categories is a real plus, the lack of search, arrange, and other functionality makes this app less desirable than Apple's standard Stickies. For a leg up from Stickies, I recommend the Sticky Notes shareware app.
Summary
Pros: notes can be imported from Stickies and categories can be set up for organization
Cons: Cannot search across all notes, arrange, tile, cascade, etc.

Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Firsly, I'll admit that I don't use Stickies all that much, never have. I prefer my Desktop to be as free of clutter as possible, which is why I use Desktop Manager and eagerly await Spaces in Leopard.
Be that as it may, I will say that Stick 'Em Up looks like something I will use. The ability to have multiple categories, basically putting the notes into folders, to use the Mac paradigm, provides the convenience of Stickies, a lot of them, without the clutter.
Some things I would like to see:
1. Returning to the same category that was open when I quit, perhaps as a preference. Presently, the first category in the list is opened on launch, regardless which category was open when last quit.
2. A "None" button. At present, the yellow "minimize" control is not functional. Perhaps this could be utilized to make the control floater and all of the notes minimize to the dock?
3. Make the control floater function through a drop down menu to select the category, rather than the present scroll window format, again, perhaps as a pref. The smallest the control float can be made still displays three categories; four is the minimum size for the functional scroll thumb. Single line to select a drop down would be even less obtrusive.
4. Maybe put an icon in the menu bar, clicking which would display the categories for selection?
5. Kill the double click to select a category. It just shouldn't be necessary. Select by clicking on the item. Once.
