Sidenote

Sidenote is a free multi-document application by Pierre Chatel. You can create multiple notes which will be displayed in one single drawer on the side of your screen, which pops up whenever you move your cursor towards it.
A note can handle both text and pictures via drag&drop or using the clipboard. Also, notes are automaticaly saved when you quit the application or logout so saving your notes is not a necessity.
It's not quite bug free yet, but the main functions are in place and I must tell you it's addictive. I'm not sure what Dashboard will bring to replace Stickies, but I certainly hope sidєɳotє will be implemented for 10.4.
You can download it here.

hot damn... i love it.
i usually use text edit for this, because I hate stickies ... but this... man oh man... it's great!
It would be even better as a dashboard widget.
How does one go about quitting your recommended Sidenote.app?
I can't get the Sidenote 1.6.1 disk image to disappear, eject, until I quit the application.
I can't trash Sidenote.app until I quit the same application.
The Sidenote application doesn't appear on the Force Quit queue, either.
This is a maddening matter!
You should copy the app from the disk image to your Applications folder. It should work as any other app after that.
Hmm, doesn't really 'work as any other app' - no File menu, doesn't appear in App Switcher and Quit is found via an Icon-only (with tooltip name of Action menu) drop-down.
But once you know that I can see no problem.
Not spent much time with it yet but it looks REALLY good.

You cannot trash the disk image of Side Note without throwing away the program completly. When you copy it to your apps folder, it just makes an alias of the folder, but is still connected to the image on the desktop. It is really annoying actually, and kind of weird that somebody didn't test that.
Otherwise, its an awesome app, I use it everyday..all day. And its way less intrusive and distracting than having stickies all over the place. (Although I still like having my TO DO list in my face in stickies)

I tried clicking on the link and it isn't working. Here is the error message that pops up:
The requested URL /sidenote.sit was not found on this server.
Apache/1.3.37 Server at www.chatelp.org Port 80
Any suggestions?

I just clicked on the website above and it worked fine. Just couldn't get to it directly from your link, Ivan. Thanks!

This is a fabulous program. First, it seems utterly reliable. In two years of use it's never lost any data. It autosaves, but you can force a save if you want. Second, it's always just there, at the edge of the screen. That means no switching, moving windows, whatever. It really does seem to be the fastest way to store and retrieve information I've found. Just one simple move of the mouse and the drawer slides smoothly out. And that smoothness seems to characterize sidєɳotє.
