No there is none, but you can probably create an array of UITextViews, with a custom background, as stickies or something like that.

You can make a UITextView with a custom background like so:

UITextView *textView = [[UITextView alloc]initWithFrame: window.frame];
    textView.text = @"Notes";
    UIImageView *imgView = [[UIImageView alloc]initWithFrame: textView.frame];
    imgView.image = [UIImage imageNamed: @"myImage.jpg"];
    [textView addSubview: imgView];
    [textView sendSubviewToBack: imgView];
    [window addSubview: textView];

And then you can set the position with:

textView.position = CGPointMake(xcoord, ycoord);
