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.

everything a dyslexia person need...

My son has dyslexia and has been struggling with parts of distant learning over the last year. We recently discovered this software and he is loving everything about it, especially with the ease of following directions and completing his assignments! We have used several other tools but this has everything a dyslexia person needs all in one bundle! The upgrade is definitely worth it to make our daily struggles, on the computer, run much smoother. I also greatly appreciate customer support (helpdesk). They went above and beyond to make sure we were all set up on the computer for my son to most successful.

declutter a page

It's easy to use with every webpage since it's just an extension. You can access lots of different functions to declutter a page (show only the relevant text and not ads, for example). You can add post it notes to annotate, and it has things like text-to-speech.
