Whenever I have a need to jot something down, I create a note in DEVONthink using the Sorter as I can bring it up with a quick key combination. My notes can be created in various forms including Markdown, and as long or as short as I need them to be. I haven’t yet upgraded to MacOS 12 (Monterey) which has Quick Notes, which may ultimately be something that I use as well. But in thinking about Quick Notes, I remember that MacOS has Stickies! Remember those!? I used to love them, and use them frequently, and then I didn’t, and I don’t remember why.
Do you still use Stickies? What do you love about them, and why not use (Quick) Notes instead?
I’m on my Mac most of the time as it’s much easier to have multiple things going. I find myself using DEVONthink notes for things like jotting down facts from a call to my doctor’s office, talking to a vendor about particular products, random things from a phone call, etc. that would be much harder to contend with on my iPad.
Why Tot (I’m not familiar with it) vs Apple’s built in Stickies?
It’s just as easy as Quick Notes, but it’s existed longer. And it has a “shelf” type place too where you can dump files. And clipboard history. I don’t use the clipboard history, but the other stuff I use quite a bit.
