Stickies. Free your desktop from Post It hell with this great little utility. Stickies is a small and simple program with many features allowing you to banish those dog eared Post It notes to the drawer. Best of all its totally free.

Still not convinced? We love it here at Bluebit and after checking out the features below we're sure you'll understand why:

• Stickies can snap to each other and to the sides of the screen to keep them neatly lined up
• Stickies can be attached to a web site, document or folder so they only show when it's on screen

• Play a sound file on receive
