Sticky notes that finally understand developers.

---

The problem

You've got six projects open, each with multiple terminals. They all look the same. You alt-tab through twelve identical black windows trying to remember which one is carvux and which one is the dev server you started forty minutes ago.

NotePick pins a colored note above each terminal — tagged by project — and gets out of the way the moment you don't need it.

Features

Always-on-top Notes float above your terminals, editors, and browsers — exactly where you left them.	Project tags Tag a note with carvux or al3zm — every note in that project shares a color and lives under one tray menu.
Minimize to a bubble Spring-animated shrink to a 60×60 bubble. Click to restore — your content is exactly where you left it.	10 hand-crafted themes Sunshine, Midnight, Mint, Lavender, Carbon — each tunable per-note (font, size, opacity).

Plus: rich-text editing with markdown shortcuts, auto-save as you type, multi-monitor friendly, lock mode, optional Windows auto-start, global hotkeys.
