SketchBox is a Sticky Notes Manager that supports graphical and text notes that can be used as reminders. Notes can be arranged via drag'n'drop in the thumbnail view to create little storyboards or comics.
Each Sticky consists of three layers: The drawing canvas, a little text editor and an intuitive alarm timer that combines analog and digital elements. While editing text the drawing layer is still visible in the semitransparent background and vice-versa.
SketchBox is designed not to interrupt your workflow. You can close Stickies at any time and they will remember

SketchBox is designed not to interrupt your workflow. You can close Stickies at any time and they will remember their position on screen and their content without bothering you with a save panel. Closed Stickies are always accessible via the thumbnail view. You can stick individual notes to the Desktop if you don't want them to clutter ExposŽ or make them appear always on top for important things.
The drawing canvas has extensive support for graphics tablets with pressure sensitivity and you can use the backside of your pen as an eraser. Save your creations as a PNG file with alpha channel or just copy them over to other applications.
SketchBox also works great as a reminder. You don't have to enter numbers, just wind up the clock with your mouse by dragging or using your scroll wheel.

Although this program is free (unbelievable, to me), I am making a donation for it. There is a link on the developer's page for doing that. I am not an official spokesperson for the developer, or getting any special deals, or anything else like that. I just think that since so many of us are benefitting from this fine program, the gesture would be nice. I for one would be willing to pay for this if it were shareware.

SketchBox keeps everything much more easily organized, and I really like the ability to set alarms to reminder notes and such.
I would love it if I could change the colors of the somewhat drab gray background against which the notes sit. But other than that, this is stellar.

One UI tweak reuest:
Could you have an option to make the pnecil and eraser cursors be brush size or a crosshair? Reason being, I'm left handed and seeing a right-hand pencil screws up my perception and I'm drawing on a weird angle because of it.
Thanks for your good work.

- In the preferences give the option to hide the app automatically once it is on the background.
- The stickies flicker a lot when I draw or just select them
oh... I had my first SketchBox crash already... and I lost all the stickies I had created... well I was just experimenting it for fun, but... it is not a good sign. ;-) improve stability maybe...
I'm on a G4 450Mhz, OS X 10.4.11
thank you!
