Sticky notes app better than MS Sticky Notes?

[HCHTech]

Guess I'm bored today - haha. I'm looking for a sticky notes app that is better than Microsoft's current iteration. I have accumulated a couple of dozen quick reference type of notes that I'd like fast access to - no opening documentation system and searching, just a quick menu choice (like a toolbar) or desktop shortcut. Needs to support formatted tables, since a lot of these things are lists that live in a spreadsheet somewhere. Pricing tiers for various vendors, lists of client-specific direct-dial phone numbers, list of part numbers for common vendor orders, etc.

I have tried at various points to use the MS Sticky Notes app for this, but it just doesn't work well once you have more than just free text or a bullet list. I even tried screenshots from a spreadsheet, but the automatic resizing thing that you can't turn off makes that a non-starter.

Does anyone have an app they like for this kind of thing?

I use Google Workspace, but I have to say, MS got OneNote right. Hard to find anything that is comparable to it.

We already use Evernote, so I don't think I'll be moving to OneNote anytime soon. What I'm looking for is a quick place to store and retrieve a group of frequently used notes - I don't want to search or open an app. The Sticky Note idea will do this, but the implementation is bad, I'm really looking for something like this where the display of this data is only 1 or 2 clicks away. The old version of Sticky Notes was better than the new, you could, for example paste a group of cells from an Excel spreadsheet into a note and it would keep the spreadsheet look and alignment. That doesn't work with the new version.

I have tried just re-downloading the old version, which works, but the reason I hadn't done that before is that with the old version of sticky notes, you had to look at ALL of your notes at once. Click on the icon once = display them all. Click on it again = hide them all. What I was hoping for was a combination of this and the way you could make a toolbar on the Windows 10 taskbar. A single icon that when clicked, displayed a list of items in a pop-up menu, you choose one and it opens. I'd like this behavior, but with sticky notes.

Not a live or die kind of thing, of course, I was just hoping someone would chime in that they had an alternate solution.

OneNote is similar to Evernote, yet...better.
Especially nice if you're already in the Microsoft 365 ecosystem...every Team/Channel has a default Note built into it.
Works wonderfully well in the Teams app....on the computer, on the phone. Of course, the stand alone app ..once signed into the 365 account, can read all the notebooks (much like with Word or Excel, choose which one you want to open).

And how you can easily "stack" the notes per location....you can click through the tabs easily and choose the one you want to read. Instead of...seeing all the "sticky notes at once" like you note above. So OneNote is nice and compact. You see how you mention the Windows 10 taskbar....single icon...display a list of items...choose the one you want. Yeah...OneNote..it does that...just..on the left side, instead of on the bottom like the task bar.
