A click on the New Note entry will display a new post it note on the desktop. This note can be moved around freely and is always on top by default. Several formatting options are available to create lists, bold text, change colors or change the font size. It is furthermore possible to change the size of the note itself.

A right-click displays additional options that include docking the note to the computer screen, adding it to favorites or configuring notifications.

It is possible to create multiple notes and place them in different locations on the computer desktop. Notifications and other settings can be edited in the preferences. Users can for example enable transparency effects, different skins, fonts and colors, define docking behavior or add hotkeys for faster access of some of the program’s features.

PNotes is a feature rich Open Sourcesoftware program to post notes on the computer desktop. It can be downloaded from the developer’s website.
