• You can get sticky notes on your Mac through the Stickies application, and use it to write notes that can serve as reminders on your desktop.
• You can edit and update sticky notes as you need, including editing their appearance, size, and content.
• When you want to get rid of a sticky note, you can delete it, or you can save the content as a .txt file.

Sticky notes, those little slips of yellow paper with adhesive you leave all around your house as reminders, are old technology.

Making sticky notes an early, built-in application of Mac computers, Apple found a way to bring these notes to the modern era, by featuring them as a great way to add reminders to your desktop.

You can customize and resize sticky notes quickly and easily too.

How to edit sticky notes on a Mac

If you want to remove the note from your desktop, click on the small white square in the upper-left corner of the note.

• A pop-up window will open asking if you’d like to continue with deleting the note or save it as a text document. Click „Delete Note“ to delete it, „Save…“ to save it somewhere on your computer, or „Cancel“ if you’ve changed your mind.

To format your note, highlight the words you want to format and right click. You can also click on a word while holding the „control“ key on your keyboard to open the formatting options.

From the pop-up menu select „Font“ to change the font type, weight, and color.

You can also select „Transformations“ under the „Edit“ tab to make all text upper-case or lower-case, or choose from various other formatting options.

To change the color of the note itself to one of six colors, use the „Color“ tab from the top menu.
