Press release edited by Applelinks senior editor Kirk Hiner

Chronos LC has announced the release of StickyBrain 3.5.0, an important update to its third generation note manager for Mac OS X. This new release adds several new Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger features, including a Dashboard widget. StickyBrain 3.5.0 is a free update for registered users of StickyBrain 3 and is available immediately.

StickyBrain is like a really big drawer; users can just throw all their notes and other information into it, then use the powerful Note Viewer to retrieve anything with just one click. Users can now manage their digital notes—from reminders and alarms to pictures, URLs and text. Everything is instantly organized and searchable. StickyBrain will help users increase productivity, save time, and gain unprecedented control over their information.

The all-new StickyBrain 3 sports a new interface with Safari-like tabs, has been completely rewritten in Cocoa, syncs to the iPod and Palm handhelds, integrates with .Mac, is built on a rock-solid commercial database, features best-of-class text, graphics and links grabbing, includes FlashNote searching, links notes to the Address Book, and much more.

The new Dashboard widget lets users search, view and copy content from their notes with great speed and ease. This release also adds other important new Tiger features:

1. Users can now create bulleted lists and outlines in their notes. Lists and outlines support multiple levels of indentation, and the bullet character can be customized (bullets, numbers, letters, Roman numbers supported).
2. Users can add sophisticated tables to their notes with options for borders, background colors, alignment, etc. Tables within tables, merging cells and splitting cells are also supported.
3. Users can now easily add page breaks, line breaks and paragraph breaks to notes.
4. Notes can have multiple text selections to make editing even easier.
5. The Find dialog can now highlight multiple occurrences of a word or phrase that can then be copied, replaced, deleted or styled all at once.
6. Styles can now be set up and applied to text. Users can also locate all the text of a particular style in a document.

While StickyBrain 3.5.0 will run under both Mac OS 10.3 and 10.4, these new features will only work if StickyBrain is running under Mac OS 10.4.

Chronos believes users should have the opportunity to try the software for free before they purchase. A fully functional 30 day trial version can be downloaded from Chronos' website at www.chronosnet.com. StickyBrain has been priced at $39.99 and is available directly from Chronos and popular resellers, including the Apple Stores, CompUSA, MicroCenter, Fry's Electronics, J&R Computer World, etc.

Registered StickyBrain 1.x and 2.x customers can upgrade to version 3 for only $25. Version 3.5.0 is a free update for registered StickyBrain 3.x users. It is available immediately for download as a full installer.

StickyBrain requires Mac OS X v10.3 or higher and 60MB of available disk space.
