Conveniently located in the menu bar, FlashNote lets you search and view your notes while in any application—StickyBrain doesn't even have to be running. FlashNote searches are lightning-fast. Plus, once you find the note you're looking for, you can copy its contents directly from FlashNote and paste it into another application.

Use QuickNote to compose a note on-the-fly without launching StickyBrain. QuickNote is always available from any application so you can compose a note no matter what you're doing or what you're in the middle of.

StickyBrain can grab content (including text, graphics, and links) from other applications even if StickyBrain isn't running. You can choose to grab information to a new note in a specific folder or append it to an existing note. Plus, StickyBrain is even smart enough to name and save a reference to the information source. For example, grab the contents of a web page from your favorite news site, and StickyBrain will title the note with the name of the new story and include a reference to the story's web address (URL).

StickyBrain has pioneered successful content grabbing with its convenient three option approach:

1) Use the application Services menu.
2) Use the system-wide contextual menu.
3) Press a user-defined hot key.

Use the option that you find most convenient and that works best for the application at hand. Not all applications support the Services menu and contextual menu options, but there is almost always at least one of the three options that will work.

StickyBrain makes it easy to paste the content of a note into another application—great for times when you need to repeatedly paste the same information somewhere. Note pasting can be performed via the same three convenient options as note grabbing.

StickyBrain can look up passwords for web sites that you've previously visited, archive web receipts for purchases you've made online, and search its notes for a selected word or phrase in another application.

Conveniently perform any of these tasks via the application Services menu, system-wide contextual menu, or a user-defined hot key.

StickyBrain is the only note manager that can synchronize with a Palm handheld. Full two-way synchronization means you can easily transfer your notes to and from the Memo application on your Palm handheld. You'll always have your latest notes with you no matter where you are.

Take your notes with you anywhere using the built-in iPod synchronization feature. Simply drag the notes you want on your iPod to the special iPod folder and press the sync button. StickyBrain is even smart enough to break a large note into multiple smaller linked notes that will fit on your iPod so you're never missing anything.

Use your .Mac account to move your notes between multiple computers or keep a backup. For example, back up your notes to .Mac at home before you leave to work, then restore your notes from .Mac to your work computer after you get to the office. Start the reverse process before leaving the office. If you're not currently a .Mac member, join today.

StickyBrain notes are stored in the industry standard rich text format which means a) your data isn't locked in some proprietary format; and b) you can move information into and out of StickyBrain with ease and confidence.

StickyBrain can import text, rich text (RTF & RTFD), basic Microsoft Word (.doc)*, HTML*, and other file formats. Plus, you can import sticky notes from Apple Stickies. * Does not support all formatting features.

Drag photos from the built-in iPhoto and clip art browser directly into notes to create rich reports, research papers, brainstorming sessons, etc. The clip-art browser works with the searchable clip art collections that come with SOHO Business Cards, SOHO Labels & Envelopes, and SOHO Art Pack. The clip art browser makes it easy to browse tens of thousands of images and even perform keyword searches to find the perfect graphic.

Remember important appointments, events, and tasks by assigning an alarm to any note in StickyBrain. Alarms will play even if StickyBrain isn't running so you don't have to worry about missing something important. A new alarm viewer lets you view and manage multiple alarms at once.

Insert a calendar for any month into a note to assist you with short or long term planning, as a reference for an upcoming quarter, etc. Calendars come in extra large, large, medium, small, and extra small sizes.

Easily create a task or to-do list by inserting special check boxes into any note. Check boxes can be marked as completed or not completed and come in two sizes and four styles.

Create relationships between notes by linking related notes to one another. Links can be created via simple drag and drop. When you select a note in the viewer window, any notes linked to that note will be highlighted in a special color to visually indicate the relationship.

StickyBrain lets you create relationships between notes and contacts in the Mac OS X Address Book. You can link any number of notes to a contact and you can even link a single note to multiple contacts. A built-in Address Book viewer lets you view the contacts in your Address Book and their linked notes simultaneously.

StickyBrain lets you establish relationships between notes and almost any other resource—not just other notes and contacts. Its powerful hyperlink feature lets you select some text in a note and then hyperlink it to a web address, ftp address, email address, file on your computer, etc. Once a hyperlink is established, you can click the link to access the corresponding resource.

An all-new Note Viewer lets you open multiple notes in tabs just like Safari. This means you can simultaneously work on multiple notes in a single window saving precious screen real-estate. Plus, you can have different search results displayed in each tab along with different folder selections.

Not all notes are created equal. StickyBrain caters to your different objectives by offering a wide assortment of note environments. Choose from three different window types: Wrap To Window, Wrap To Page, and Sticky. Assign a background color, texture, or picture to any note. You can even make a note float above all other windows on the screen including windows from other applications. Plus, you can assign any of ten transparency levels to a note for just the right effect.

The Note Viewer window contains a summary column that displays a brief summary for each listed note to help you quickly identify the note you're looking for. The Summary column is particularly useful when performing searches since it shows the search terms in bold so you can quickly see the context of your search results without manually flipping through each note—a real time-saver.
