Pinny Notes 1.17.0, released by 63BeetleSmurf, is a lightweight Windows utility designed to replicate the familiar paper sticky-note experience while adding the critical ability to keep chosen notes visible at all times. Users can create multiple color-coded notes, type quick reminders, and then click a prominent “pin” button on any individual note; once pinned, that note remains on top of every open application and window until manually unpinned, ensuring that urgent tasks, passwords, phone numbers, or checklist items never disappear behind browsers, documents, or full-screen programs. The software is especially useful for developers who need API keys in view, customer-support staff tracking ticket numbers, students referencing formulas during online exams, or anyone juggling multi-window research who wants key data persistently displayed without resizing or split-screen work-arounds. Because notes are stored locally in a tiny XML database, they reappear exactly where they were placed after every reboot, even if the PC was powered down unexpectedly. Pinny Notes belongs to the “desktop notes & stickies” category, occupies less than 3 MB of disk space, and runs quietly from the system tray with optional startup integration; no administrator rights are required for installation, making it suitable for locked-down office machines. The application has evolved through three public versions—1.15, 1.16, and the current 1.17.0—each refining memory usage, adding high-DPI awareness, and improving the pin toggle animation. The software is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources (e.g. winget), always delivering the latest version, and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
