TRAY CONTEXT MENU

Tip

tray

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).


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


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 issues, you can only interact with Notes by using mouse cursor


TRY POST-IT!

Check 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" ("Ulteriori informazioni" in the image below)

alert1

finally, click on the button "Run anyways" ("Esegui comunque" in the image below) that appears next.

alert2

That's because I still cannot afford the authentication certificate for native applications (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 section
