StickyBrain is no more
Chronos announced in an email today to registered users that StickyBrain has been discontinued 
and will be replaced by another of the company’s information management apps, SOHO Notes.
SOHO Notes is built from the same code base as StickyBrain but features three additional functions:
- SOHO Notes can synchronize notes between multiple computers using a .Mac account.
- SOHO Notes can access multiple note databases simultaneously.
- SOHO Notes is multi-user capable which means users can share notes with others over a network using the product’s client/server technology.
The two apps cost the same (USD 39.99) and Chronos is offering free transition to existing StickyBrain users.
According to the Vice President of Sales at Chronos, Jerry Halls, the move streamlines the company’s software catalogue:
SOHO Notes is like a big brother to StickyBrain—it does everything StickyBrain does plus more. In order to simplify our product line and bring more focus to our SOHO Series of products, we feel that now is a good time to move our users from StickyBrain to the more powerful SOHO Notes.
Earlier this year Hawk Wings was very impressed with Yojimbo, Bare Bones’ new information manager, and switched from StickyBrain.
It then watched with interest as Chronos appeared to incorporate many of Yojimbo’s features in a subsequent release of StickyBrain.
As a result of today’s change, Chronos now offers an information manager at almost the same price as Yojimbo, but with stronger multi-user and network features.

I also switched to YoJimbo when it was released because I liked the Drop Dock. However, as my Yojimbo database grew I found YoJimbo started to slow down and stall when browsing and searching. Ultimately I switched back to StickBrain when they released the beta 4.1 because of YoJimbo stalling issues and Sticky Brains new DockNote.
Yesterday I effortlessly installed StickyBrains replacement SOHO Notes without any problems. For the money SOHO notes is a much better deal and I highly recommend it.

Geez, a few of us “strongly” suggested the Chronos do exactly this many months ago, pointing out the product confusion and our (SB users) feeling slighted by Chronos’ trying to get a few more bucks out of us by withholding a few critical features. Now they come around and won’t even admit we were right back them. They’ve taken a well deserved beating; if only they listened back then.
