I think that most people use the Finder without ever checking to see what’s on the Go menu, so it’s a chance to notice all these handy shortcuts too, like Shift-Command-D to go directly to the Desktop. What you’ll want to do is go to the Finder and choose Go To Folder from the Go menu: It’s just buried pretty darn deep in the file system… The solution is to use the Finder and access the actual Stickies Notes files themselves: Each note is on your Mac as a separate file. MANUALLY ACCESS AND BACKUP YOUR STICKIES NOTES Why doesn’t the app have “Export All Notes…” and “Import Notes…” as options? Inexplicable. Okay, how about Export All to Notes…? Nope, that turns each Stickies note into its own note in the Notes app, which is better than nothing, but still not what you seek. In other words, if I have five notes, I’d have to go through this export process five times. It’s certainly not obvious on first glance that Import Text… and Export Text… relate to the active Stickies note only. Notice the green Stickies note has a tiny green box adjacent: Use color coding to help know what’s what with your own notes. Go to the Window menu and you can see a handy list of all your Stickies, whether they’re minimized to just the title bar or open on the screen: Let’s jump into the Stickies app for just a moment to see what it offers. If you don’t mind getting your hands dirty, however, there is a really easy way to make a highly functional backup and even copy all your Stickies Notes from one Mac to another. It seems like it does, but as I’ll show, it doesn’t. The problem is that for reasons that are completely inexplicable, there’s no way to export all your notes and import them into another copy of Stickies, or even just back them all up to a recoverable file. Convenient! The sticky notes are also more flexible than most people realize, allowing you to use multiple fonts, paste in images, and much more. It’s simple, lightweight, free, and available on every single Mac system. There are definitely a lot of alternative programs you can run on your Mac system, notably Evernote, but I’m a fan of Stickies.
