How to use Stickyboard

1. Install the Chrome extension

Turn every new browser tab into your board.

1. Open the Stickyboard listing on the Chrome Web Store.
2. Click Add to Chrome, then confirm.
3. Open a new tab. Stickyboard loads automatically. Sign in once and your board is there every time you open a tab.

Why it helps: you see your board 30+ times a day without opening anything, so nothing quietly falls off your list.

2. Create your first board

A board is one wall of notes, usually one per project.

1. Open Stickyboard on the web or in a new tab and sign in with your email.
2. You start with a board and three columns: To do, Doing, and Done.
3. To add another board, use the + next to the board pills at the bottom. Give it a name and a colour.
4. Switch boards any time by clicking the coloured pills.

3. Add and move notes

The whole app is really just this.

1. Click + new note (or click a column title to add one right there). Type a title, and a description if you want one.
2. Drag a note between columns as it moves from To do to Doing to Done.
3. Click a note to open it, where you can edit it, change its colour, or send it to the bin.
4. Drag a note to the bin to clear it. It is recoverable, not deleted.

Tip: press Esc to close a note, and drag the corner pills to reorder boards.

4. Sketch a note

Sometimes a drawing says it faster than text.

1. Click the pen icon next to + new note.
2. A full-screen canvas opens with a pen, eraser, highlighter, shapes (line, rectangle, circle, arrow), a custom colour picker, and paper patterns.
3. Draw what you need, then save it. It becomes a note on your board.

5. Share a board

Work a board together with someone else.

1. Open the board you want to share and click the three dots on it.
2. Choose share / manage access.
3. Enter the email of the person you want to invite. They get an invitation and, once they accept, the board appears for them too.
4. Changes sync live between everyone on the board, no refresh needed.

6. Install the Mac app

Keep your board one click away in the menu bar.

1. Download the app from stickyboard.dev/Stickyboard.dmg.
2. Open the downloaded file and drag Stickyboard into Applications.
3. Launch it. Stickyboard lives in your menu bar; click its icon and your board drops down.

Note: the Mac app is built for Apple Silicon and is signed and notarized by Apple, so it opens without security warnings.

7. Install it on your phone

Run Stickyboard full-screen, like a native app.

1. Open stickyboard.dev in your phone's browser.
2. On iPhone, tap Share → Add to Home Screen. On Android, tap the menu → Install app.
3. Open it from your home screen. It runs full-screen and remembers your last board.

8. Set a password

Optional, for faster logins than the email code.

1. Open the account menu → settings.
2. Find the password option and set one.
3. Next time you sign in, type your password instead of waiting for a code. The email-code login still works if you ever forget it.
