It’s hard to think of anything lower-tech than a Post-it note: you write on a sticky square of paper and slap it onto a physical surface. But 3M has just launched a clever iOS app that allows you to photograph a bunch of Post-it notes, tap on-screen to select the ones you want to keep and then organize them on your iPhone or iPad before outputting to apps like PowerPoint.
The Post-it® Plus App takes the momentum from your collaboration sessions and keeps it rolling. Simply capture your notes, organize and share with everyone. That way your great ideas don’t stop when the meeting ends.
Getting started is easy. Use the app to capture an image of the Post-it® Notes from your work session. Arrange, refine and organize the notes and ideas on your board anyway you see fit. Then share your organized board with your team and send to your favorite applications —including PowerPoint, Excel, Dropbox and plenty more.
The app recognizes any size Post-it note so long as they are square (and, indeed, even works with Mac OS Stickies if you photograph your desktop). It’s a free download from iTunes.

what languages are supported?
As far as I can see, it relies on recognizing the shape and colour of the notes, so language shouldn’t matter.
I think @stencl was hoping for the same tech as myself, which is that it would OCR the text for searching/copy/etc.
If they add that feature in the future it would be fantastic; a must buy for me.
Yeah, this is just visual.
@nevember The app is free. You may have been talking about the post-it notes themselves, though, in which case you can safely ignore me :)
Its 2014, why not use a cloud based note keeping app?
This is aimed at people using Post-its in group brainstorming activities, etc.
Very cool! In our office, people have sticky notes EVERYWHERE! Pretty cool way to archive that info without having to type it out by hand.
On a side note, this app integrates with Notification center so you can save your favorite stickies to your Today view. If someone writes you a cute note or draws a funny picture… You can add a little character to your notification center.
