Menubar item attaches stickies to documents.

Paperclip is a menubar application that allows you to attach Stickies-style notes to documents.

aperclip's notes offer full text supports. Users may change the font and format, drag and drop images, movies, and other media, even insert and edit Acorn images. Since Paperclip's notes are document-specific, they will always be available whenever you edit annotated files. Paperclip also provides an attractive Note Viewer that lets you view, search, edit, and manage all of your notes.

Looks kinda like SketchBox [a free postit app]. Not sure that the above screenshot is good - it reveal a bug in Paperclip! Cool idea making it a menubar app though - I wish SketchBox was a menu app too.

After further testing, I do not see a way to have multiple stickies attached to a document, only one. Also, the stickiest are inconsistent with regard to their persistence when I close a file or relaunch an app where I had a note; sometimes the stickies return when I relaunch, and sometimes they don't.

In all, this doesn't quite do enough for me to need it.

The screencast on their website shows that you can attach notes to open documents, and that it is an unobtrusive menubar app. While I love keeping most notes in one place with Yojimbo, this is nice for keeping a note with a document. I'm interested to test and see if I can have multiple stickies in a document (to track changes, perhaps), and whether the stickies persist through opening/closing the document itself.

Was hoping this would come up for grabs. Just what my wife wanted. She's a post-it notes fiend.

I downloaded it and was enjoying using it to add simple notes to pdf files. It'd be better, though, if it could add multiple notes to one document.

This could be very useful if it worked across all document types.

@trilium:

Stickies have been outside of Dashboard before Dashboard was even invented. It's called Stickies, and it's in your Applications folder.

Could be like refrigerator notes for one family sharing a Mac using one login. Leopard only means I'd have to buy Leopard to use it, so I'll wait.

Not many posts today. Interesting concept, but I think since I've lived without it this long, I'll survive a while longer.
