Quick Sticky Note

A very simple sticky notes application stripped down to the bare minimum.

I made this because my needs are very simple: Open a note on the desktop → type in → delete when done. No fancy customization. No unnecessary features. Super simple, super easy setup.

How it works

Right-click the desktop and use the context menu option for the .qnote file type:

This will:

• Create a .qnote file in your %LOCALAPPDATA%\QuickSticky\ folder.

• Open a sticky note window at your current cursor position.

Closing a note

The note stays open until you click the X three times. This safety measure avoids accidental closures.

When closed, the program will:

• Delete the associated .qnote file.
• Terminate the note process if it's the last note open.

Startup behavior

The installer sets the app to run on system startup. On startup, it will:

• Look for existing .qnote files and reopen them.
• If none are found, the app immediately exits — nothing runs in the background unless you have a note on screen.

Purpose

The goal is to have a quick, visible reminder for simple tasks — not to use the desktop as a calendar replacement.
