Stickwell

Sticky notes that stay where you put them

Leave a note next to any paragraph on any website. Come back tomorrow, open it in a narrower window, let the site add a banner on top — the note is still beside the same paragraph.

Free · No account · Your notes never leave your browser

Three promises

1

Notes stick to the content

Stickwell remembers the paragraph or picture a note belongs to, not screen pixels. Resize the window, switch monitors, let the page load more content — the note stays beside its paragraph.

2

Notes don’t get lost

Everything saves as you type. You can download a backup file at any time, and if a page changes so much that a note’s paragraph is gone, Stickwell tells you instead of hiding it.

3

Nothing leaves your browser

No account, no servers, no analytics, no ads. That matters when an extension can see every page you open.

What else it can do

Color, scope and pinning in one menu

Color, scope and pinning in one menu

Eight paper colors plus any color you like. Show a note on this page only or on the whole site. Attach it to the content, or pin it to the screen so it stays put while you scroll.

Bold, italics and lists

Bold, italics and lists

Format the way you think: headings in bold, steps as a list. Pasted text arrives clean, without the website’s styles.

One note on every site

One note on every site

A note set to “All sites” shows up on every site you open — a shopping list, today’s to-dos, a reminder you don’t want to lose sight of.

All your notes in one place

All your notes in one place

Search every note by text or address, jump to the page it was left on, back everything up to a file and restore it on another computer.

How it works

  1. CreateRight-click where you want a note and choose “Add a sticky note here”. Or press Alt+Shift+S, or use the toolbar button. Selected text goes into the note as a quote.
  2. PlaceDrag the note next to the paragraph it’s about. Stickwell remembers that paragraph.
  3. Come backOpen the page again — the note is waiting in the same spot.

Made for people who return to the same pages

Researchers and students reading papers, technical writers and analysts working through docs, support and QA teams who check the same screens every day.

Questions

Is it free?

Yes. Stickwell is free and has no ads. If sync between devices is added one day, it will be an optional extra.

Where are my notes stored?

Only in your browser, in its storage for extensions. Stickwell makes no network requests. Read the privacy policy for the details.

Why does it ask for access to all websites?

So that it can show your notes on whatever page you open and find the paragraph each note is attached to. It doesn’t edit the page’s own text, links or forms and doesn’t record what you type on the site.

What happens if the page changes a lot?

Stickwell looks for the paragraph by its position in the page and by the beginning of its text. If the paragraph is gone, the note stays at its last position and is marked “Original spot on the page not found”, so you can move it.

Can I use my notes on another computer?

Not automatically yet. Download a backup on the “All notes” page and restore it on the other computer.

Which browsers does it work in?

Chrome and other browsers that install extensions from the Chrome Web Store, such as Edge, Brave, Opera and Yandex Browser. Firefox and Safari aren’t supported yet.

Which languages are available?

English, Spanish, German, Chinese (Simplified) and Russian. Stickwell follows your browser’s language, and you can switch it in the extension menu.

What happens to my notes if I remove the extension?

The browser deletes them together with the extension. Download a backup first if you want to keep them.
