StickiesSync implements automatic, instantaneous, silent synchronization of your Stickies.app sticky notes across multiple Macs. Run the installation script once on each Mac, and never worry about it again.

StickiesSync uses a shared folder or server volume to sync your Stickies. For example, you can sync using your iDisk, DropBox, Windows Live Sync (formerly FolderShare), your own private internet-accessible server, or any other kind of server that gives you full read and write access via file sharing in the Finder.

This program does not work with Mac OS 10.6.8/Dropbox.

I got as far as setting the app up on Mac 1 and telling it which directory to use for syncing (in Dropbox). Trying to match this setup on Mac 2, however, gave me a "network error", with no further instructions. Both computers are running the same version of the OS.

Well, I've tried this app on both MobileMe iDisk and Dropbox.
Simply does not work.
The stickies database is on both disks but will not update.
Subsequently I've stickies with info on 1 Mac and an empty database on the other.

Oh well. Keep looking.

Well i discovered the problem, this script wants to write to LaunchAgents which is owned by system not by the admin user. I worked round ths and got installed
This is worth working on because with the advent of iPad etc everyone is ooking for a way to sync stickies.

My problem now is using dropbox the sync only appears to work properly one way, so i can make alterations to a sticky on one mac and this will change on mac 2 but no the other way round.

I think if this worked, people would pay for it. jon where are you

A note for box.net users:

Recently, some users have reported problems using StickiesSync with box.net. Unfortunately, this is a bug with box.net's handling of modification times, and cannot be addressed by StickiesSync.

In particular, it seems that box.net is updating the modification times on all files whenever there is interaction with box.net via WebDAV (the technology that allows Finder to connect to box.net), even though most of the files have not actually been modified. This is a bad thing, and not just for StickiesSync. Box.net users who experience this should file a bug report with box.net ASAP.

What is the method of syncing that you are using? iDisk, a private server, DropBox, or something else?

Do you normally have full permissions for the folder you are trying to use as the go-between? The underlying system simply uses rsync to update the file from one location to the other. If you don't have full read, write, and execute permissions, it will fail.

Finally, remember that if the folder is on a shared volume from another computer, it has to be mounted before this will work. StickiesSync will not mount it for you.
