## Kitsmith's take

A genuine step up from Apple’s bundled Stickies: inline markdown formatting, a color picker, image drops, a dark theme, and export/import, all in a well-reviewed, actively updated app (regular releases through early 2026). Real user feedback is candid on both sides — reviewers praise the design and formatting toolbar, while a developer-acknowledged limitation is that inline markdown is destructively applied (the raw markdown syntax doesn’t survive a copy-paste elsewhere), which matters if you plan to move notes between apps. The developer, Ashvin Suthar, responds to reviews directly and has shipped fixes based on user feedback (iCloud sync, multiple workspaces, spellcheck toggle).

## Features

- **Inline markdown formatting:** Format with markdown symbols as you type, rather than a separate preview pane.
- **iCloud sync across Macs:** Notes sync via iCloud, added in response to user requests.
- **Color, images, and dark theme:** Custom note colors, dropped-in images, and a dark theme for late-night use.

## FAQ

**Is Stickies free?**

The base app is free; Stickies Pro is a $2.99 one-time in-app purchase.

**Does Stickies preserve markdown syntax when I copy a note elsewhere?**

No — per the developer, markdown is applied inline and destructively, so copied text loses the original markdown symbols.

**Who makes Stickies?**

Ashvin Suthar, an independent developer who also makes the JSitor code playground.
