The sticky note world has changed a lot with the development of digital sticky notes that appear on your desktop. Instantly type what’s on your mind on desktop sticky notes without changing your task in hand. It provides a lot of ease.
For this reason, sticky notes are better than other types of note programs. And many sticky note software offer other important features. Like recently, Windows added new updates to its sticky notes software with features like sync, pen support, new and improved design, etc.

Why hide sticky notes from desktop?
Having the sticky note on the desktop right in front of your eyes is good but, it gets annoying at times when there are a lot of notes on the desktop. It looks very cluttered and unprofessional. Also, they may come in the way of using other programs or might prove a problem when you don’t want someone else to see a particular note of yours. Hiding notes from your desktop is thus an important feature.
