stickies

Self-adhesive memo squares

Stickies are small adhesive notes, typically the square yellow kind used for reminders and quick messages: The monitor was covered in stickies.

In computing, stickies are digital versions—small note windows that float on the desktop.

The singular sticky also works as a noun: Leave a sticky on the fridge.
