Communicate and collaborate by leaving sticky notes on any page of your site. Drag and drop them anywhere you’d like, type a note, and change its color/priority.
This plugin is a fork of StickyNotate https://wordpress.org/plugins/stickynotate/
Here’s how it works:
<ul>
<li>While signed in, go to any page on your site</li>
<li>Click the Add Note button in the admin bar at the top of the screen</li>
<li>Click and grab the top of the note to move it anywhere on the page</li>
<li>Type your note text</li>
<li>Click the save button in the lower right of your note to keep your changes</li>
</ul>

Boat Notes Lite adds a beautiful floating sticky-notes widget to your WordPress posts and pages. Logged-in users can create, edit, and delete color-coded notes directly on any page — no page reloads, no friction.
All notes are stored as a custom post type (<code>boat_note</code>) so they live in your database like regular content and survive plugin updates cleanly.
<h4>Free features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Floating widget — a subtle button appears on every enabled post/page. Click it to open the notes panel.</li>
<li>5 pastel colors — Yellow, Peach, Green, Blue, and Pink.</li>
<li>Full CRUD — Create, edit, and delete notes with instant REST API saves.</li>
<li>Notes board — shortcode <code>[boat_notes_board]</code> and a Gutenberg block to display all your notes on any page.</li>
<li>Trash & restore — accidentally deleted a note? Restore it from the trash tab.</li>
<li>20 note fonts — choose from 20 Google Fonts for your note text.</li>
<li>8 UI fonts — apply any of 8 Google Fonts to the widget interface.</li>
<li>Custom colors — pick your own button color, hover color, icon color, and badge color.</li>
<li>Button position — dock the widget to the bottom-left or bottom-right corner.</li>
<li>12 preset icons — choose from a curated set of Dashicons for the widget button.</li>
<li>Board customization — set a title, description, and choose whether to show the icon.</li>
<li>GDPR ready — full personal data export and erasure via the WordPress privacy tools.</li>
<li>Zero dependencies — no jQuery UI, no external libraries beyond Google Fonts.</li>
<li>Clean uninstall — removes all data when you delete the plugin.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Upgrade to Boat Notes Pro</h4>
The free version is generous, but <a href="https://profiles.wordpress.org/creativeboat/" rel="nofollow ugc">Boat Notes Pro</a> adds the features power users need:
<ul>
<li>4 note themes — Classic, Notebook, Torn Paper, and Minimal.</li>
<li>6 background patterns — Dots, Grid, Lines, Diagonal, Crosshatch, and None.</li>
<li>Dark mode & auto mode — Light, Dark, or follow the user’s system preference.</li>
<li>Custom SVG icon — upload your own SVG for a fully branded experience.</li>
<li>Role-based permissions — choose exactly which WordPress roles can create and read notes.</li>
<li>Board filters — let users filter notes by color, date, post type, or author.</li>
<li>Analytics dashboard — see note activity, top pages, most active users, and color distribution at a glance.</li>
</ul>
<h4>How it works</h4>
<ol>
<li>Install and activate the plugin.</li>
<li>Go to Settings → Boat Notes to configure colors, fonts, and the board page.</li>
<li>A floating button will appear on all posts and pages for logged-in users.</li>
<li>Click the button to open the notes panel and start writing.</li>
<li>Place the <code>[boat_notes_board]</code> shortcode or the Boat Notes Board Gutenberg block on any page to show all your notes in one place.</li>
</ol>
<h4>Privacy</h4>
Boat Notes Lite stores notes as WordPress custom post types attributed to the logged-in user. It supports WordPress’s built-in Personal Data Export and Personal Data Erasure tools under Tools → Erase Personal Data.
No data is sent to external servers. Google Fonts are loaded from Google’s CDN for the font picker preview — if you prefer self-hosted fonts, you can dequeue the stylesheet and use the Pro version’s custom font stack support.
