I agree; it would be cool to have Stickies on iOS as well - I think that would make it a preferred jotting medium for me.

Is anyone using NoteCard 2 or its brother app TaskCard 2? These look like interesting sticky type notes with a lot more power than just stickies.

I’ve used NoteCard and TaskCard occasionally. I like the metaphor. There was an old app, Spiral Notebook, that operated similarly—but is defunct on Sierra.
One disconcerting aspect of NoteCard—pressing the red “stoplight” button deletes the card permanently. There’s a warning first—but red = delete is not consistent with the Mac UI in any other app I am familiar with.

Oops—it was “SpiralBound” not “Spiral Notebook”—the developer’s site has vanished.

Jo Paul! Gut, dich wieder zu sehen!
Yep, I’ve used both, and they’re really rather good, although Paul’s reservation is quite right. The better of the two is TaskCard, which has all the features of NoteCard but also handles tasks. The way you can create multiple, completely separate bulletin-board like “sets” of cards is particularly neat.
But… what’s dissuaded me from using them much more than I do is the lack of an iOS app. To use TaskCard, you really have to commit to a fairly sophisticated environment. Without multi-platform support, there are just too many good alternatives.
Cheers!
