@Jack

The Float app is very useful. Very much appreciated. I took a second look at SketchBox and with Float, it should prove to be useful to me. Perhaps my initial reaction was a bit harsh.

[...] Mac OS X only: Donationware application SketchBox provides multi-functional sticky notes for your Mac desktop. Similar to the default Stickies application that’s baked into your Mac, SketchBox has tons more functionality, with typing, drawing, and timers built into every sticky. That means you can create a note, type a few lines or doodle an idea, then set a timer to remind yourself to check back with the note later (perfect for quick to-dos). The app also gives you a robust, iPhoto-style organization window for your sticky notes. SketchBox is donationware, Mac OS X only. SketchBox [via MacApper] [...]

@ Nathan Gimpel:

I think you’ve missed the point of SketchBox. It’s intended to function not like a system-wide Stickies application, but more like a notepad. I think the article author did SketchBox a disservice by comparing it to Stickies, because the comparison between the two is simply cosmetic. The way I use (and love) SketchBox is like a version of MemoBlock or something like that with a visual element added in through the sketching.

Otherwise, great review of a useful little app, even if it didn’t really position the application in the way it truly shines.

I downloaded Sketchbox and played for it for about 3 minutes before deleting it. The must have features for me for a Stickies-type app are the abilities to allow the window to float and to be transluscent.

Hmm, I know I added that…. I’ll try to get it fixed. Anyway, it’s also the link at the top.

Nice find! Will give it a try.

Just to say that you forgot the link at the end of the review (”downloaded here”).
