Online sticky notes that turn ideas into plans.
Add a note with one key, group the best ideas with your team, then let AI turn them into a kanban board, a mind map or a table.
MockFlow’s online sticky notes work like the paper ones, on a board the whole team shares. Press N, type one idea, pick a colour and drag the note into a section beside the others. Everyone adds and moves notes at the same time, from anywhere, and nothing falls off the wall. When the ideas are in, react to the best ones, then ask AI to group the notes into themes or turn them into a kanban board, a mind map or a table you keep working on, on the same online whiteboard.
What are online sticky notes?
Online sticky notes, also called virtual or digital sticky notes, are small coloured notes you place on a shared digital board. Each holds one idea, so a team can collect thoughts quickly, then move, group and rank them together.
One idea per note
A note is short by design. It keeps a brainstorm fast and makes every idea easy to move into a group later.
On a board everyone shares
The whole team writes on the same wall at once, in the room or across time zones, and sees each note appear live.
The start of the work
In MockFlow the notes sit beside kanban boards, mind maps, documents and charts, so ideas become plans on the same canvas.
Why sticky notes work better online.
Paper notes curl, fall off and end up in a photo nobody opens again. Online, every note stays readable, movable and part of the plan after the meeting ends.
Nothing falls off
Notes stay where you put them, in a clear typeface, however long the board lives.
Regroup in seconds
Drag notes between sections, wrap a cluster in a new section, or let AI sort them for you.
Join from anywhere
Remote teammates add notes at the same time as the people in the room, each with a named cursor.
Keep going after the session
The notes become tasks, a mind map or a document next to them, so the decisions don’t get lost.

Turn a wall of paper notes into digital sticky notes.
Ran the workshop in a room? Take one photo of the wall. Mida, the AI on your board, reads the handwriting and rebuilds every note on the board, ready to sort, merge and share with people who weren’t there.
- One photo. Attach it in Mida with Digitalize Whiteboards or Brainstorm Images and ask for editable sticky notes.
- Clean it up. Ask Mida to merge duplicates and group the notes into themes.
- Bring everyone in. Remote teammates add their own notes to the same groups.
Photo to board is on Plus and Max. See Turn images and whiteboard photos into a board.

Let people pause their weekly box
Make every note easy to read.
Select a note and its toolbar appears above it, with every setting one click away.
- Colour. Light yellow, peach, rose, lavender, blue, cyan, green and grey, softer shades, or More colors for any other.
- Text. Font, size, line height and colour, with AutoSize Text to fit long notes. Drag a corner to resize the note.
- Show the author. Each note can carry the writer’s picture and first name, handy in a retro.
- Fold, shadow and lock. A folded corner or a shadow for the paper look, and Lock from the right-click menu so a note stays put.
Build a sticky note board with sections.
Sections give notes a home: one per theme, column or week. A Whiteboard frame holds a whole exercise, such as a SWOT or a retro, so it moves and exports as one. See Sections and Brainstorm on a whiteboard frame.

Wrap in Section
Select a cluster, right-click and choose Wrap in Section. The section is drawn around the notes, behind them.
Line them up
Turn on vertical or horizontal stacking and every note dropped in slides neatly into place.
Tell groups apart
Themes such as Mint, Sunny and Cherry, layout styles such as Minimal and Tab, and an icon beside each title.
Fill it with AI
Generate with AI on a section writes sticky notes from a prompt, such as icebreaker questions for a first lesson.
Vote on the best sticky notes.
A brainstorm ends with a decision. Let the team show what they back, time box the round, and see the favourites rise.
- Reactions. Drop a thumbs up or a heart on any note and the count shows how many agree, on every plan.
- Comments. Ask a question right on the note, and mention a teammate.
- Upvote ideas. A shared list that sorts itself by votes, on Plus and Max.
- Timer and polls. A countdown everyone sees, and a quick poll to settle a tie, on Plus and Max.
Want dot voting or planning poker? Voting apps run on the board too, on Plus and Max.

Let AI sort your sticky notes.
Mida is the AI on every MockFlow board. Select a pile of notes, say what you need, and it reads every note before it builds, so the result keeps your team’s own words.
- Group and sort. “Group these ideas into themes” or “Sort these by priority”.
- Turn notes into work. A spreadsheet, a tree diagram, a mind map or a kanban board, placed beside the notes.
- Start from nothing. A section or a Whiteboard frame fills itself with notes from a prompt, and each note has its own prompt to write its text.
Try a prompt like “Group these interview notes into themes, then make a kanban of the top three problems.” Each request uses AI credits. More in Change selected items with Mida and on the AI whiteboard page.
