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. Once you do the above a few times, it becomes very quick with the left three fingers copying and pasting the style while the right hand moves the cursor to just two places (pre-highlighted and the new word/phrase).There are definitely a lot of alternative programs you can run on your Mac system, notably Evernote, but I’m a fan of Stickies. It's not idea and still somewhat clumsy and bothersome, but sure beats having to cmd+T all the time and then fumbling with the mouse back and forth. Next, highlight the word/phrase I want to strikethrough and cmd+opt+v to apply the style. Then, when I need to strikethrough something else, I highlight the word (can already have it pre-highlighted if you have it in a dedicated sticky note and then just have to click on the note once to activate the highlight again), then cmd+opt+c to copy the style.

Or something similar and have this text stricken through. The best workaround I found was to have a line at the top or in a dedicated Sticky with the text: Can't even add it as a shortcut because the option is not listed in the menus. I don't know why they don't have the option more readily available. Yes, you can do the same and perhaps in a more orderly fashion in Notes, but with Stickies, you can visually see the notes and move them around almost like working with index cards.Īnyways, pressing Cmd+T to bring up the window I found was way too clumsy and bothersome. I sometimes dedicate one desktop just for all the sticky notes organized into groups. I love it for quick notes and to-do lists, etc. This is actually one of the worst things about Stickies.
