Microsoft appears to be gearing up for a significant visual overhaul of its beloved Sticky Notes app. A leaked screenshot shared by Windows insider FireCube (@FireCubeStudios) reveals a fresh interface featuring light shades of purple, complemented by a purple new logo reminiscent of Microsoft’s OneNote app.

These visual changes hint at a potential deeper integration between Sticky Notes and the broader OneNote platform. Despite the facelift, Sticky Notes’ core functionality appears to remain the same. 

Your notes will still be housed within their familiar rectangular windows, now neatly grouped within a “Recent Notes” section for enhanced organization.

In addition to the visual revamp, a convenient search bar has been introduced to help users quickly locate their older notes. 

Moreover, a dedicated pop-out window for composing notes is included, boasting basic rich-text formatting options such as bold, italics, underline, strikethrough, and bulleted/numbered lists.

Originally exclusive to Windows 10, Sticky Notes later expanded its presence to Android and iOS devices, facilitating seamless cross-device syncing for users. 

Microsoft had previously tied Sticky Notes to OneNote, enabling users to access their notes directly from the OneNote app across various devices.

While this recent redesign isn’t the first significant update for Sticky Notes, it signifies Microsoft’s ongoing commitment to enhancing this widely-used organizational tool, ensuring it remains relevant and useful for users across different platforms.
