I used this for about a year, I liked seeing my to-do list right on the desktop, and was able to change font & background color and transparency to match my desktop background and be readable without my glasses. Efficient Sticky Notes (ESN) is very nice, easy to use, and I recommend it! But… I realized that I only see my desktop when I first start my PC, so I put my list in with my expenses/bills due spreadsheet and added a column to tell me how many days until something is due. Very small additional memory used when needed, instead of ESN residing in memory all the time. My music software takes all the memory it can get, so even at 16 GB I still worry about such things.
So what changed since last time this was given away? I found the lsit below on their website. Lots of things, it shows they are still actively working on the products. Some things say “(Efficess)” at the start, that’s another program they offer that includes (I think) everything in ESN. Those improvements may apply to both programs, not sure…
