Why StickyHover

Notes apps make you switch context. StickyHover doesn't.

Built for traders, students, doctors and freelancers who work across multiple apps and need their notes to follow.

Always visible

Notes float as draggable, resizable windows on top of every app. Move them. Resize them. Park them in a corner.

Frequently asked

Questions, answered.

Is this really free?

Yes. The free tier is fully usable — unlimited notes, all colours, fonts, gradients, tags, search, voice, widget, drive backup, JSON export, one floating note, and the new camera scan are free forever. The Pro upgrade is a one-time purchase, no subscription.

Why does it ask for "Display over other apps"?

That's the Android permission required for any app that wants to render a window on top of other apps — exactly what makes a "floating note" possible. Without it, StickyHover still works as a regular notes app, you just can't float notes. You're never forced to grant it.

What happens to my data when I uninstall?

It's gone. Every byte. Local Room database, image attachments, preferences — wiped along with the app. If you'd enabled Android's Auto Backup to your Google Drive, you can also delete that copy from drive.google.com → Storage → Backups → StickyHover.

What about my voice when I dictate a note?

The audio goes to your phone's built-in speech recogniser (typically Google's). We receive only the transcribed text once you finish speaking. We never record, store or upload audio.

Does the OCR / camera scan upload my photo?

No. Recognition runs entirely on your device using Google's ML Kit. The image is processed in memory and discarded the moment text is extracted. Nothing is uploaded.

How accurate is OCR on cursive handwriting?

Honestly? Print and neat handwriting work great. Cursive is hit-or-miss — that's a limitation of on-device models. We picked on-device over a cloud model because it's the only way to keep your notes private. Expect ~95%+ on printed text, ~70%+ on neat block-letter handwriting, and varying results on cursive.

What devices is it compatible with?

Android 7.0 (API 24) and above. Most features work on every device; the camera scan needs Google Play Services and at least 1.7 GB RAM (every modern Android has this).

Will there be an iOS version?

Not on the roadmap. iOS doesn't allow third-party floating overlays system-wide (the core feature wouldn't work) and ships its own Stickies/Notes equivalent.

Get StickyHover at launch.

Coming soon to the Google Play Store. Free with optional Pro upgrade.
