Word lists
StickyWords does not arrive empty. Six lists are built in, so there is something rotating the moment you open it, and between them they show what the note is actually for. More is here for you to take now.

The built-in lists are ordinary files like any other: edit one, save it under another name, or start your own from an empty list. Made a list worth sharing? Email the .sws file to hello@firstpush.dev and, once we have reviewed it, we will put it on this page for everyone else to download.
