Open the app, write a note, hit "Float on screen". The note stays visible above your trading app, your browser, your calendar — wherever you are. 100% on-device. No ads. No accounts. No tracking.
Built for traders, students, doctors and freelancers who work across multiple apps and need their notes to follow.
Notes float as draggable, resizable windows on top of every app. Move them. Resize them. Park them in a corner.
Zero analytics, zero trackers, zero accounts. Your notes never leave your phone. Backups go directly to your Google Drive.
Cold-starts in under a second. OCR runs on-device. Voice dictation works offline. No login, no signup, no setup screens.
Collapse any floating sticky into a tidy chat-head bubble, fling it anywhere, tap to bring it back full size. Multiple notes, multiple colours, all live on top of whatever you're doing. Here's the effect playing:
Tap the float button. Your note becomes a draggable window on top of whatever app you're using. Stack as many as you want with Pro.
Point your camera at any printed or handwritten note. We auto-crop, deshadow and turn the text into an editable sticky in seconds. All on your device — the photo never leaves your phone.
Show a trade plan only when Zerodha is open. Hide a personal checklist when WhatsApp is. Granular per-app rules that just work.
Pick a date, time, recurrence. Pick a custom alarm sound from your ringtones. Pick from 7 vibration patterns. Or have your phone read the note out loud when the alarm fires — perfect for driving or accessibility.
AlarmManager
Make your floating stickies feel alive. Glass-blur backgrounds, physics-based drag, magnetic edge snap, tap-to-collapse into a 56dp bubble, and a card-deck cascade when 3+ notes are open. Toggle each one independently.
Back up to your own Google Drive's hidden app folder. Restore on a new phone signed into the same account — every note, every image, every reminder back exactly as you left them. Survives factory reset, lost phone, switched device.
Switch the whole app's look in one tap. Midnight (OLED black + gold), Sakura (cherry blossom), Forest (mint & moss), Cosmic (deep indigo). Match your home-screen icon to the theme — all four variants ship.
Tapping a note now opens a clean, full-screen reading view first — no more accidental edits. Hit the pencil when you actually want to change something. Attach an image and drag it anywhere inside the note; the spot you choose sticks on the card and in the floating overlay.
One tap converts a note into a checklist — or start fresh from the Checklist template. Tick items off right in the read view and they strike through. Switch back to plain text whenever you like.
The + button now offers ready-made starting points, so you're never staring at a blank note. Pick a Shopping list, Meeting notes or a Daily plan — or a blank checklist — and just fill in the blanks.
Sketch a quick diagram or sign with your finger on a clean canvas — six ink colours, adjustable brush, eraser and undo. The drawing saves straight into your note and shows everywhere the note appears, including the floating overlay.
Tap record, speak, done. The clip attaches to the note and plays back from the edit screen, the read view, the list — and even the floating overlay. Audio is stored only on your device.
Tap Voice typing and just talk. Your words drop into the note as you speak, and the mic keeps listening through your pauses until you tap Stop — no more cutting off after two seconds. Recognised on your device for privacy.
Lightweight formatting that lives right in your text: bold, italic, headings and a marker-style highlight that adapts to the paper — it stays visible on yellow, white and even dark notes.
Lock any note behind your fingerprint or screen lock. The content disappears from the list, the widget and notifications — just a quiet "Locked" card until you unlock it.
Long-press and drag any note to wherever it belongs. The card lifts, the grid makes room, and your order sticks — pinned notes stay on top.
Every delete shows an instant Undo. Miss it? Notes rest in the Trash for 30 days before they're gone for good — restore or purge them anytime.
Share text from any app — a link, an address, a message — straight into a new sticky. Or add the Quick Settings tile and start a note without even opening the app.
Six washi tape styles dress up any note. Ten preset papers — including a deep slate that flips the text to white — plus any custom hex colour and 8-angle gradients.
The free tier isn't a stripped-down demo. It's a real, polished sticky-notes app.
Create, edit, pin, delete. Auto-saved. Searchable.
Drag the corner to resize any floating note — the size is remembered. Long notes scroll inside the window, so every line stays readable.
Nine bright papers plus a deep slate that flips text to white. Serif, mono, cursive, handwritten and more.
Pick any RGB colour. Apply 8-angle linear gradients to any note.
Tag any note with any label. Search across titles, content and tag names.
Tap the mic, speak, done — your words land in a new sticky. Recognised on your device.
Camera → on-device OCR → editable sticky. Free for everyone.
2×2 widget shows your latest or pinned note. One tap to open.
Daily backup to your Google Drive. Restored when you reinstall.
Full data portability. Move to another phone in 2 taps. Your data is yours.
Open a note to read it full-screen. Editing is a separate tap, so nothing changes by accident.
Turn any note into a tick-off list. Items strike through as you check them. Convert back to text anytime.
Start from Shopping list, Meeting notes or a Daily plan instead of a blank page.
Long-press and drag cards into your own order. It sticks until you change it.
Every delete is undoable. Trash keeps notes for 30 days before letting go.
Share text from any app into a sticky, or use the Quick Settings tile.
Six tape styles — kraft, gold, stripes, dots — to dress up any note.
No subscription. No recurring charges. Pay once, keep forever.
Sketch or sign with your finger — 6 colours, brush sizes, eraser. Saves into the note and floats with it.
Record an audio clip in any note. Plays back from the list, read view and the floating overlay. Stored on-device.
Dictate hands-free — the mic stays on through pauses until you stop. On-device speech, no audio uploaded.
Fingerprint or PIN-protect any note. Content hides from the list, widget and notifications until you unlock.
Bold, italic, headings and a paper-aware highlighter — one tap in the editor, rendered everywhere.
Glassmorphism, spring drag, edge snap, collapse-to-bubble, card-deck cascade. 5 effects, toggle each.
Backup to your own Drive's app folder. Restore on any phone with the same Google account.
Per-note alarm sound, 7 vibration patterns, voice readout — phone speaks the note before the chime.
Stack five trade plans, three call scripts, a checklist — all on screen at once.
Show or hide a note based on which app is open. Zerodha-only? Done.

Yes. The free tier is fully usable — unlimited notes, all colours, fonts, gradients, tags, search, voice, widget, drive backup, JSON export, one floating note, and camera scan are free forever. Pro is optional: choose a monthly or annual subscription — both with a 7-day free trial — or a one-time Lifetime purchase.
That's the Android permission required for any app that wants to render a window on top of other apps — exactly what makes a "floating note" possible. Without it, StickyHover still works as a regular notes app, you just can't float notes. You're never forced to grant it.
It's gone. Every byte. Local Room database, image attachments, preferences — wiped along with the app. If you'd enabled Android's Auto Backup to your Google Drive, you can also delete that copy from drive.google.com → Storage → Backups → StickyHover.
Both go to your Google Drive — never our servers. Auto Backup (free) uses Android's system-level backup: silent, daily, restored automatically when you reinstall on the same Google account. 25 MB cap. Drive Cloud Backup (Pro) is a manual on-demand backup to a hidden app folder you control — bigger, restorable on any device with the same account, multiple snapshots over time. Both stay private; only StickyHover signed with the same key can read either.
A Pro reminder toggle. When the alarm fires, your phone speaks the note's title and first content line out loud before the chime starts. Useful for driving, accessibility, or just looking like a wizard at your desk. Uses on-device TTS (Samsung TTS or Google TTS, whichever your phone has installed) — no audio leaves your device.
Yes. The free tier ships with the warm-orange Sunshine theme. Pro adds 4 more — Midnight (OLED black + gold, saves battery on AMOLED screens), Sakura (cherry blossom), Forest (mint & moss), Cosmic (deep indigo + violet). Switch any time without restarting the app, and pick a matching home-screen icon variant separately.
The audio goes to your phone's built-in speech recogniser (typically Google's). We receive only the transcribed text once you finish speaking. We never record, store or upload audio.
No. Recognition runs entirely on your device using Google's ML Kit. The image is processed in memory and discarded the moment text is extracted. Nothing is uploaded.
Honestly? Print and neat handwriting work great. Cursive is hit-or-miss — that's a limitation of on-device models. We picked on-device over a cloud model because it's the only way to keep your notes private. Expect ~95%+ on printed text, ~70%+ on neat block-letter handwriting, and varying results on cursive.
Android 7.0 (API 24) and above. Most features work on every device; the camera scan needs Google Play Services and at least 1.7 GB RAM (every modern Android has this).
Not on the roadmap. iOS doesn't allow third-party floating overlays system-wide (the core feature wouldn't work) and ships its own Stickies/Notes equivalent.
Now on the Google Play Store. Free with optional Pro upgrade.
