StickyForge puts real sticky notes on your desktop. Each note is a frameless window you can drag, resize, roll up to just its title bar, pin above everything else, or hide along with the whole fleet — and the app lives in the tray rather than cluttering your taskbar. Notes are Markdown with a live preview toggle and checkboxes you can tick straight in the preview. Every note gets its own look: eight tuned colours or any custom hex (it derives a readable theme automatically), adjustable opacity and four text sizes. The Board is the management view — search every note at once, filter by the #hashtags you have used inside them, click to reveal a note wherever it is, and restore anything from Trash. Reminders fire as native Windows notifications even when the note is hidden, and global hotkeys create, reveal or open the board from anywhere.
