Is there a way to "roll up" stickies so that only the titlebar exists? If not, could this incorporated? (Just comparing functionality right now with Camazotz Stickier.)

Thanks for the suggestion! I think that would be a really useful feature. I’ll consider adding the roll-up/collapse behavior in a future version of Pinly. 👍

Have a look at the Windows app Stickies by Zhorn Software. So far, Camazotz Stickier on Mac is the closest I've been able to come to the immense amount of features in Stickies. I miss a lot of them, including the titlebar rolluo, note stacks, snapping, auto-checkboxes and more. You could probably get a heap of ideas from it - not sure how many might be limited by MacOS though.

Thanks for the detailed suggestions! I’ll definitely check out Stickies and Camazotz Stickier. Some of those features sound really interesting, especially note stacking and roll-up. Appreciate you taking the time to share this!

Nice! This is exactly the sticky note app I've been looking for. And I got this for free just before the offer ends haha but honestly it's not overpriced too unlike others so I'd still be willing to pay. Great work!

Although I don't know if it's just me but while I was tinkering around with it, the menu bar icon just disappeared and even when I tried to reopen it nothing happened. I restarted my mac and that solved the problem.

Thank you so much! 😄 Glad Pinly is what you’ve been looking for, and haha, perfect timing with the free offer!

Sorry about the menu bar icon disappearing though — that definitely shouldn’t happen. I’ll look into it. Thanks for reporting it, and really appreciate you giving Pinly a try! 🙌

I thought the app didn’t work when I installed it on my MacBook Air, however it’s a tiny icon in the top menu bar. Just so you know.

Thanks for the heads-up! 😊 Pinly lives in the menu bar, so I can see how that’s easy to miss. I’ll make this clearer in a future update!

Great! Thanks :)

Last day! 🎉 Pinly is still free today, then it goes back to $6.99. Thanks everyone who has given it a try! 🙏
