Should We Introduce Personal Sticky Notes as a Feature in GRAVITY?

In our ongoing effort to develop intuitive, user-focused solutions that promote digital adoption and productivity, we have begun testing an innovative new concept internally: a browser extension that enables users to add personalized, persistent Post-it-style notes to any website or business application. This local-only feature keeps your notes on your device, providing a powerful tool for managing contextual information.

The idea: Post-it Notes for Digital Workspaces

Imagine working in a complex business application. Instead of switching between the app and your personal notes, you can pin your annotations, reminders, and key insights directly within the app. These sticky notes would be visible only to you and stored locally on your device, so there would be no cloud syncing or external data sharing.

We created this feature to give users more flexibility to personalize their workspace and streamline workflows by providing an intuitive way to attach notes wherever they are most relevant.

How It Differs from GRAVITY’s Current Features

GRAVITY already provides in-app guidance, step-by-step walkthroughs, and other contextual support for business applications to empower teams and streamline digital adoption. However, GRAVITY’s current solutions are primarily focused on organizational-level guidance and training. Examples include creating callouts, onboarding flows, and automating knowledge delivery for enterprise users.

On the other hand, the “Post-it Note concept” is personalized and entirely local. Rather than being used for organizational purposes (e.g., rolling out Announcements or ensuring company-wide adoption of new features), this feature aims to help individual users capture and reference their own insights during their daily tasks. Think of it as a personal productivity layer on top of your business apps.

Key Benefits of Our Prototype

Here’s what makes this feature unique:

• Stored locally: Unlike most digital adoption tools, this feature doesn’t rely on cloud storage. All notes remain secure and private on the user’s device.
• Personal Customization: Users can attach personal notes anywhere — on fields, buttons, dashboards, or reports — making their workspace more intuitive and tailored to their preferences.
• Frictionless Context Management: No more switching between applications or tabs to refer to external notes or documents while working.
• 100% Individual Control: These sticky notes are for individual use only and aren’t visible to other team members, ensuring a distraction-free, personalized experience.

How We Are Testing This Feature

We’ve currently rolled out this prototype for internal evaluation, focusing on how it complements our existing GRAVITY capabilities. The feedback so far has been promising; testers have highlighted how it makes their day-to-day tasks more seamless and how easy it is to reference important notes “in the moment” without disrupting their workflow.

What Could This Mean for GRAVITY Users?

While GRAVITY already excels in providing digital adoption solutions at the organizational level, this Post-it note feature could introduce a whole new dimension by bringing individual autonomy and personalization into the mix. It’s also a natural extension to our mission of empowering users to achieve more in less time, through fewer manual interventions and greater contextual guidance.

That being said, incorporating this feature into GRAVITY would broaden its scope beyond team-wide adoption and training to encompass individual-level work environment customization. This shift could provide businesses using GRAVITY with a complementary yet distinct benefit.

What Do You Think—Should We Build This for All GRAVITY Users?

This brings us to the big question: Should we make this feature available to all GRAVITY users?

We’d love to hear your thoughts:

• Would this feature enhance your productivity and make GRAVITY even more valuable to you?
• Do you see a use case for integrating this type of local, personalized functionality into your workday?

Your feedback will be key in deciding whether to fully develop and integrate this concept into GRAVITY. Drop us a comment below or contact us with your suggestions. Let’s collaborate to make GRAVITY even better!
