> **A minimal reminder app based on colorful sticky notes, which you can pin on your desktop**
## DEMO
> *Demo relative to v1.4.0*
## SHORTCUTS
**ALT+N** ⟶ open text Input bar
**ALT+C** ⟶ choose color of current Note
> Color menu can only be displayed when Input bar is opened
**ALT+SHIFT+V** ⟶ move all Notes above other opened windows
> Notes may still be hidden if they lose focus
**ALT+SHIFT+P** ⟶ pin/unpin all Notes on the top (z-level) of your desktop
> Every new Note will be pinned automatically if other Notes are
**ALT+SHIFT+H** ⟶ open Help window
> Help cannot be closed by pressing the shortcut again
**ALT+SHIFT+N** ⟶ open [Tray context menu](https://github.com/JoSimon05/POST-IT?tab=readme-ov-file#tray-context-menu)
## LOCAL STORAGE
Every Note is stored inside a local database and reloaded on application startup.
> [!NOTE]
> **POST-IT** remembers content, color and position of all Notes
>
> ```json
> "notes": [
> {
> "id": 1,
> "text": "This is a Note!",
> "color": "yellow",
> "index": 1,
> "x": 1597,
> "y": 112
> }
> ]
> ```
## TRAY CONTEXT MENU
The Tray context menu is the application main menu and It contains a lot of useful functions. You can find it in the lower right corner of your desktop (on taskbar).
> [!TIP]
> 
## UPDATES
Updates are automatically checked and downloaded on startup, then you can choose when to install them.
> [!NOTE]
> Even if you install new versions of the application, you won't lose your [stored data](https://github.com/JoSimon05/POST-IT?tab=readme-ov-file#local-storage)
## USER-FRIENDLY
**POST-IT** has been created to be as user-friendly as possible, It's simple to use and It provides an overview of the main features of the application (see "**Help?**" in Tray context menu).
> [!IMPORTANT]
> Due to aesthetic and functional issues, you can only interact with Notes by using mouse cursor
# Try POST-IT!
**Check [Releases](https://github.com/JoSimon05/POST-IT/releases) section and download the latest version available.**
> You just need to download this file: **POST-IT_{version}_setup.exe**
> [!WARNING]
> Before installation by *installer.exe*, the system antivirus could show a security alert. DON'T WORRY! \
> You just need to click on "**More info**"
>
> 
>
> finally, click on the button "**Run anyway**" that appears next.
>
> 
>
> > That's because *authentication certificate* for native applications is missing yet (It's not that cheap...)
> [!TIP]
> If you have problems with the operation of the application (about shortcuts, visual defects, etc...), try restarting it (use "**Quit**" in Tray context menu). Even if problems persist, please report them in the [Issues](https://github.com/JoSimon05/POST-IT/issues) section.
