I’m always on the lookout for the right way to store notes — free-formed and structured enough at the same time. Right now I’m making text clippings on my iMac’s desktop, and it’s a bit messy and doesn’t quite scale (while long-term notes end up in Yojimbo where I never look at them again).

Sketchbox is an interesting take on the classical virtual Post-It paradigm: the sticky notes live inside an iPhoto-like window, and zoom in, QuickLook-style, when you double-click them. Plus you can overlay text and drawings on each sticky (with support for tablet pressure sensitivity).

Problem is, the concept is interesting but the development doesn’t really seem to follow. It’s all a little bit off and laggy and lacking a bit of polish. Not ready for public consumption at all, as far as I’m concerned.
