Chronos announced on July 10, 2006 that SOHO Notes will become the official replacement for StickyBrain which will be immediately discontinued. StickyBrain has had an incredible six year run. What started out as a powerful alternative to Apple Stickies has become a bestselling and award-winning note manager for Mac OS X.

SOHO Notes is like a big brother to StickyBrain—it does everything StickyBrain does plus more. In order to simplify the Chronos product line and bring more focus to the SOHO Series products, Chronos is replacing StickyBrain with the more powerful SOHO Notes. The transition will be seamless for users and they'll gain all the additional features of SOHO Notes.

SOHO Notes looks almost exactly like StickyBrain but has three significant features that StickyBrain doesn't have:

1) SOHO Notes can synchronize notes between multiple computers using a .Mac account.
2) SOHO Notes can access multiple note databases simultaneously.
3) SOHO Notes is multi-user capable which means users can share notes with others over a network using the product's client/server technology.

If you're a registered StickyBrain 1.x, 2.x, 3.x or 4.x user do the following:

1. Purchase the $25 upgrade to SOHO Notes.
2. Download SOHO Notes.
3. Launch SOHO Notes.

Q) Is there really much difference between StickyBrain and SOHO Notes?
A) With the exception of the three significant features mentioned above, the products are exactly the same and are derived from the same code base.

Q) Will I notice much difference running SOHO Notes as opposed to StickyBrain?
A) No, the main difference will be the name change.

Q) What does SOHO stand for?
A) SOHO stands for Small Office/Home Office. Chronos created its SOHO series of products just over two years ago and has been focusing its efforts on this series of products ever since in an effort to become a market leader in this segment.

Q) Why is Chronos discontinuing StickyBrain and transitioning users to SOHO Notes if the products are so similar?
A) Two reasons. First, Chronos wants to simplify its product line which eliminates confusion for users. Second, Chronos wants to focus its resources on a single product instead of two products.

Q) Are there any downsides for users transitioning from StickyBrain to SOHO Notes?
A) No, none that Chronos can think of.

Q) Are there any advantages for users transitioning from StickyBrain 4.x to SOHO Notes?
A) Yes, users get the same great product with significant new features for free.
