Utilities Lifestyle
2.99 USD

Background Notes app allows you to embed text into images as note elements, then set the image as your Desktop Background.

As with other Note taking apps, be mindful what content you place as notes. Since background images have the potential to be seen from computer login screens, care should be considered.
