What are Sticky Notes?

Sticky Notes let you add digital notes to any website or PDF. They work just like real sticky notes that you would put on a document, except they stay attached to the webpage.

You can add titles, write content, and use different colors to organize your notes.


Who is This For?

This feature is helpful for:

  • Students who want to take notes while reading online
  • Researchers who need to annotate web articles
  • Anyone who wants to save reminders on specific web pages
  • People who learn better by writing things down
  • Anyone who needs to organize information from websites

Step 1: Open Helperbird

Click the Helperbird icon in your browser toolbar. It looks like a small owl and is usually in the top-right corner of your browser.

This will open the Helperbird menu.


Step 2: Go to the All Features Section

Scroll down to the bottom of the Helperbird menu. You will see a section called All Features.

Click the arrow next to All Features to expand it and show all available features.


Step 3: Find Sticky Note

Look through the list of features until you see Sticky note.

It has a note icon next to it.


Step 4: Create a Sticky Note

Click the plus (+) button next to Sticky note.

If you do not see a plus button, sticky notes needs Helperbird Pro. On the free plan the row shows a Pro badge in place of the button. See what is Helperbird Pro.

A new sticky note will appear on the page. You can drag it to any position on the webpage.


Step 5: Customize Your Note

On your sticky note:

  1. Click the Title field at the top and add a title for your note
  2. Click in the text area below to write your note content
  3. Choose a color from the palette at the bottom to change the note's appearance
  4. Click the X in the corner when you want to delete it

You can create multiple sticky notes on the same page. Use different colors to organize them by category or priority.

Tip: Your sticky notes are saved and will appear again when you revisit the same webpage.

you can finetune your experience ...

Where to start! Firstly, I'd like to thank Robert (the developer) for his generosity - the app is extremely cheap as apps go. It is very apparent that this app is a labour of love - Robert is constantly working on it and improving things, adding new features, etc. As someone with ADHD and ASD, I have always had to piece-meal together the features I need to help me study effectively - half a dozen different apps / extensions, and even then they don't quite meet my expectations. Helperbird, however, offers SO MUCH more, and all in one place - you can finetune your experience to your heart's desire. The features I particularly love are summarise, simplify, sticky notes, highlighting, and the amazing immersive reader with TTS. I can't sing Helperbird's praises enough. Thank you, Robert, for such a thoughtful - and genuinely helpful - app. You are empowering the neurodivergent everywhere.

This chrome extension is absolutely amazing. I'm a Primary school teacher and it helps children with a broad range of needs. It's so easy to set up. I love the way it syncs across devices so set up is seamless across all the children's computers. The customizable features are a game changer for allowing children to enjoy reading and accessing the web in our school. The best application I have ever seen for school children. Looking forward to trying the iPad application soon.
