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.

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.

I purchased this for my daughter who has been having a lot of difficulty accessing the online work set remotely by her teachers during our National Lockdown because of Covid-19. Her dyslexia was really hindering her ability to complete tasks and keep up which in turn led to increased anxiety levels...a really horrid place to be in during a global pandemic! Helper bird has been a vast help and I fully recommend it and wish more schools knew about it. Thank You Helper Bird.

Immersive Reader from Microsoft is amazing, but my friends in Google districts were missing out until I found Helperbird. Great for proofreading! Simply highlight the text and have it read back to you, change the spacing in your view, highlight parts of speech, even translate by word or by document to have it read to you and adjust the speed! So amazing that I posted a YouTube tutorial within days of installing it. Plus, unlike many extensions, it didn't ask for obnoxious permissions like asking to delete everything in my Google Drive. #Winner #a11y
