Guides
Practical, honest how-tos for keeping a note visible above other apps — what works, what doesn't, and the browser requirements. Every guide uses the same free notes app that runs entirely in your browser.
- Always-on-top sticky notes on Windows
Keep a sticky note above every window on Windows 10/11 without installing anything. Uses Chrome or Edge's floating window; notes stay on your PC.
- Always-on-top notes on a Mac
Stickies can float, but not over full-screen apps. Get a floating note that stays visible over Zoom and full-screen Spaces on macOS, free in Chrome or Edge.
- Sticky notes on a Chromebook that float over other windows
ChromeOS has no built-in sticky notes. Use a free web app with a floating always-on-top window that works offline and keeps notes on your Chromebook.
- Keep sticky notes visible over Zoom
Zoom full screen hides normal note apps. Float a sticky note above Zoom with Chrome or Edge — free, no install, notes never leave your device.
- Floating sticky notes over Microsoft Teams
Keep talking points on top of a Teams meeting. A free floating note from Chrome or Edge stays above Teams, even maximised. No install, stays on-device.
- Sticky notes that stay on top of Google Meet
Meet runs in a browser tab, so notes in another tab get hidden. Float a note above Google Meet with Chrome's Picture-in-Picture window. Free, private.
- Take notes on top of Netflix
Learning a language or tracking a series? Keep a floating note above Netflix in the browser — free, no install, notes stay on your device.
- Floating notes over YouTube tutorials and lectures
Follow a YouTube tutorial or lecture with a note that floats above the video. Checkboxes, markdown, export — free, private, no install.
- Keep notes on screen while gaming
Track quests, builds or routes with a sticky note that floats over windowed and borderless games. Free, no overlay software, notes stay on your PC.
- Notes for video interviews, used honestly
Keep your questions, key stories and the interviewer's names on a floating note during a video interview. Plus when using notes is (and isn't) OK.
- Using notes during online exams: open-book yes, proctored no
Floating notes help with open-book tests and self-study. For proctored or closed-book exams, don't use them. Here's how to use notes the right way.
- Floating meeting notes that stay above every app
A simple meeting-notes routine with an always-on-top note: agenda, live notes, action items, markdown export. Works with any meeting app. Free.
