How to Add Sticky Notes to Any Web Page for Research

The traditional research workflow is broken: read something online, switch to a note-taking app, write a note, switch back, lose your place, try to find what you were reading. By the time you're done context-switching, you've lost the thought you wanted to capture.

Sticky Notes Anywhere lets you place notes directly on any web page. Click to create a note, type your annotation, and it stays there — anchored to that exact spot on that exact page — every time you visit. Your notes persist between browser sessions, so research annotations from last week are still there when you return.

For students working through online textbooks, researchers annotating journal articles, or professionals reviewing documentation, having notes attached directly to the source material eliminates the gap between reading and note-taking.

Drag notes to reposition them, color-code them by topic, and export all notes from a page when you're ready to compile your research. The notes live in your browser and don't require any account or cloud service — your annotations are private and local.

If you've ever wished you could write in the margins of a web page the way you write in the margins of a book, this is exactly that tool.
