Park City, Utah - December 19, 2005 -- Chronos LC today announced the release of StickyBrain 4, its fourth generation note manager for Mac OS X. This new version adds significant new class-leading features including seven new types of notes, support for Spotlight, a built-in web browser for viewing bookmarks, and a new streamlined interface.

WHAT'S NEW IN 4.0?

StickyBrain 4 goes beyond storing and searching sophisticated rich text content by adding seven new types of notes: pdf, image, movie, audio, web archive, bookmark, and files. Specialized controls are present in each type of note so users can do things like zoom images, pause playing movies, and search for words or phrases in pdf's. The contents of these new types of notes are fully searchable. This means users can search their pdf's and web archives alongside their traditional rich text content.

The new bookmark note features an integrated web browser so users can do their research from within StickyBrain. With a single click, users can turn live web content into a permanent web archive so their research is preserved beyond the often short shelf-life of the Web. The built-in web browser is based on the Safari web engine and contains all the features users expect like built-in Google search, forward/backward buttons, history, etc.

StickyBrain 4 works with Spotlight so users can find content in their notes along with everything else on their system. Plus, StickyBrain 4 sports a new streamlined interface making it the easiest and most intuitive note manager on the market. Other new and notable features include:

• New forward/backward buttons in viewer window to navigate your recent note history
• 300-1000% speed improvements throughout the software
• New global default font for new folders
• New convenience commands added to StickyBrain Dock menu
• New FlashNote window can be detached from the menu bar and resized
• FlashNote searches can now be limited to select folders
• QuickNote lets user choose folder to save new note in
• Palm synchronization supports non-destructive conflict resolutions and two-byte handhelds
