What is Sticky?
Sticky is a productivity app for macOS that lets you place quick notes directly on your desktop for reminders, checklists, and everyday reference. It is designed for users who want lightweight note-taking without opening a larger notebook or document app. Sticky supports creating and organizing simple notes, changing note colors, and moving notes around the desktop to keep important information visible while you work. The app also includes syncing options with iCloud and Evernote so notes can stay available across supported workflows. Additional user-facing capabilities listed for the app include importing and exporting notes, note locking, and text-to-speech support. For Mac users who prefer always-visible notes for tasks, ideas, and short written prompts, Sticky fits a simple desktop note workflow.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
Sticky is a legitimate desktop notes app for Mac. Access to iCloud or Evernote is consistent with its note syncing features, and any note-locking or privacy options are ordinary for this type of app. As with any notes app, the main practical consideration is that your reminders, to-do lists, and personal text may be stored in the app or synced to connected services, so avoid keeping sensitive information there unless you are comfortable with that setup.
Recommendation: Keep Sticky if you actively use desktop notes, reminders, or syncing with iCloud or Evernote. If you no longer use it, removing the app is generally reasonable, but you may want to export or review any notes you still need first.
