Sticky notes for your dashboard
Post-it notes are a great way to jog your memory about things you have to do during your day. However, if you work behind a computer all day, it makes sense to have a way of doing it on your desktop.
K-notes widget provides an alternative to Apple's Stickies widget but adds a little more functionality. These include handy enhancements such as unlimited text size, re-sizeable text, collapsible notes and expandable notes (join multiple notes together). Like Apple's own widget however, it also allows you to choose text font, text size and the sticky's color. The only thing that should be clearer is how to delete notes. You have to hold down the Option key and waiting for black close dialog to appear which is a bit annoying.
k-notes widget is a useful tool for anyone that likes using sticky notes to help remember things.

not trustworthy.
It is very bad, it erased all my notes at one point. Do not get this.
Pros: neat
Cons: glitches

Concept is great, stability is not..
I used to use the standard default sticky note widget all the time for keeping track of basically everything that wasn't relevant to my calendar, but it always bugged me that the space inside of them was very limited. So I looked around on the interwebs and this was the first thing I came across. I immediately transferred ALL of the content on the default stickies to k-notes, only to find that this caused my dashboard to crash. but no biggie, it's just a one time thing, right? So I re-launched the dock in order to refresh the dashboard and BAM. 9 Empty K-notes.Might seem like it's better but this widget is FAR too unstable to be useful. More

Beware.
At first, I thought this widget was just what I was looking for. Worked great for about 2 days, but then, as other users have mentioned...it just DELETES all of the writing from your notes...GONE forever. I had some important stuff on those notes, and now can't retrieve it! Too bad this program is fatally flawed, if it did what it was supposed to it would be a great widget, but it's unreliability make it pretty much worthless! More

AVOID!.
As the previous poster noted (too bad I didn't read it first), ALL my notes disappeared suddenly. I thought this would be a great improvement over Apple's stickies since it allows one to resize the stickies, but deleting important information is simply unacceptable. AVOID THIS WIDGET.
Cons:
Suddenly deletes notes without warning and no apparent way to retrieve them. More

Notes deleted randomly.
I've used K-notes without problems, since Mac OS X Leopard.Since I upgraded to Lion, my notes started getting deleted randomly from one day to another, without me doing anything. I'd open the dashboard and 2 of my K-notes would be completely blank.
Luckily I'd backed up the information in them, but this has happened several times over the past couple months, so beware.
Do not store important information in them, as there is a chance it will get deleted and be lost forever. More

All my k-notes are gone.
I use this widget for a few years. It worked very well, one error now and then, but nothing serious. Until this week: somehow, all my K-Note were deleted, gone forever, disappeared. Nobody else has access to my computer, and the most strange thing is that I also use K-note in my home's iMac... and guess what, all my notes were deleted there to... So, I don't recommend this widget 'cause it's unstable.
Pros:
Simple to use, customizable
Cons:
Unstable, notes can be lost forever More
