Those on Chrome OS, Mac OS, or Linux can resize their browser window and place it on their screen. On desktop, users could theoretically use Sticky Notes web as an app replacement. Obviously, it would be nice for the web version to sync without input, but it’s unlikely you’ll be using both at once anyway. Notes on the web appear in the desktop app after a few seconds, taking with them the same coloring and formatting. In the other direction, though, syncing is automatic. Importantly, the notes sync from the app to the web, though it often requires a refresh to catch up. It allows for text formatting and coloring in a modified web interface.

The app contains much of the functionality of its desktop counterpart. The app scales down well, while also providing quick access to those on a desktop with limited permissions.

In a roundabout way, it fulfills the company’s promise to bring the app to mobile devices. After sweeping changes to the app earlier in the year, it’s now available on any device. Microsoft’s renewed attention to Sticky Notes has spawned a web version.
