Sticky notes have been the backbone of brainstorming sessions, productivity hacks, and last-minute reminders for decades. But let’s be honest—paper notes curl, lose their stickiness, clutter desks, and end up in the trash. As designers and creatives, we need something better. Something modular, flexible, and sustainable. Enter M NOTE, a next-generation sticky note that builds on Bravestorming’s earlier innovations, pushing the boundaries of what a reusable note can be.
At first glance, M NOTE feels familiar—small, lightweight, easy to jot on. But beneath that simplicity lies an impressive fusion of materials and design thinking. Unlike traditional sticky notes that rely on single-use adhesives, M NOTE combines a magnetic backing with a reusable adhesive layer, allowing it to securely cling to both metal and non-metal surfaces. Whiteboards, glass panels, wooden desks—wherever ideas need to live, M NOTE stays put. The best part? It doesn’t curl up the way sticky notes do, allowing you to actually use M NOTES more efficiently without having to unfold scraps of paper to see what’s written on them.

According to 3M’s own website, the company produces 50 billion Post-Its annually, which means potentially 50 billion sticky notes are used and thrown globally each year. This serves as an indication of two things – sticky notes are incredibly popular, and single-use sticky notes are incredibly wasteful. What Bravestorming does is just take the concept of a sticky note and innovate on it. The result? A note with a patented design that’s reusable, easy-to-clean, sticks to multiple surfaces, stacks wonderfully, doesn’t curl up, and serves you and your ideas for life.
For those of us who think in visual clusters—mapping out UX flows, sketching quick thumbnails, or color-coding ideas—the M NOTE goes beyond being just a simple adhesive-backed square, it presents a workspace upgrade. The ability to magnetically stack and rearrange notes turns any flat surface into a dynamic storyboard. Planning a project? Layer tasks by priority. Iterating a design? Move pieces around until everything clicks. M NOTE acts like a hybrid between a sticky note and a modular whiteboard, with the flexibility to grow and change as ideas evolve.
Its unique design lets you un-stick the notes as effortlessly as you stick them. Simply press against one of the note’s edges and it lifts up, letting you easily ‘pluck’ the note off just in case you want to rearrange it or discard it for later. The magnetic + adhesive back can be used over 10,000 times according to Bravestorming. The magnets are powerful enough to hold up pieces of paper like charts, paper sheets, or even a whiteboard marker (as is the adhesive-lined backing), and the adhesive works on a whole variety of non-magnetic surfaces, giving you the ‘sticky’ part of a sticky note.
There’s even the tactile pleasure of working with the M NOTES that flimsy paper just doesn’t have. The individual notes are small yet substantial, and they stack together wonderfully, creating a toy that’s great to fidget with. “It’s like playing with LEGO or chess,” Bravestorming’s team says.
The surface of the M NOTE mimics a whiteboard, making it perfect for detailed sketches, typography layouts, or handwritten notes that need to be erased and rewritten multiple times. Ghosting and ink stains—common frustrations with traditional whiteboards—are practically nonexistent here. And if the adhesive side starts losing its grip, a quick rinse under water restores its original stickiness, making M NOTE a long-term alternative to its disposable counterparts.
The M NOTES come in 3 sizes across 9 colors, and just in case you want a bit of versatility, Bravestoming’s M POCKET lets you slide a print or photo in, giving you a customizable sticky note instead. This means you can add everything from a photo of your pet or loved one to a company logo or even a QR code. The possibilities are endless – Bravestorming demonstrates using the print-friendly M POCKET to plan meals or workouts, track water consumption, or even print templates of your choice that you can use to boost your productivity.
Beyond its practical features, M NOTE also speaks to a growing need for sustainable tools. The cycle of writing, discarding, and replacing sticky notes is wasteful, but it’s been the norm for so long that many of us don’t question it. M NOTE offers a shift in perspective. Instead of contributing to endless paper waste, this modular, erasable alternative fits seamlessly into a more eco-conscious workflow. A single set replaces stacks of paper notes, reducing clutter while aligning with a mindset that values reuse over disposal.
And unlike traditional sticky notes, which tend to crumple in bags or lose their stickiness over time, M NOTE is built for durability. Whether it’s being used on a fridge for reminders, a workspace for project management, or a sketchbook for impromptu doodles, it holds up. And when notes need to be digitized, snapping a quick photo using 3M’s free Post-It app transfers them into productivity software like Notion or Trello, ensuring that analog and digital organization work in tandem.
Bravestorming has a track record of reimagining workspace tools, and we’ve seen them push the boundaries of modular note-taking before. But M NOTE refines the concept into something even more versatile, making it a must-have for creatives, organizers, and anyone who thrives on structured yet fluid thinking. The era of disposable paper sticky notes is fading, and M NOTE is here to take their place—replacing potentially 50 billion paper squares with something more versatile, capable, and creativity-friendly.
