Why this exists
Writing something down while browsing is harder than it should be.
You open a new app.
You switch context.
You lose the flow.
This fixes that.
Good idea while reading…
Open new tab
Switch apps
Flow is gone.
Chrome Notepad. Write it right there.
It stays on the page.
Not in another tab. Not in another app.
Right where you're already reading.
Floating on any page
Open a note on any website. It floats over the page. Drag it, resize it, collapse it.
Try it →Instant. Always there.
One keyboard shortcut. Always available. Notes auto-save as you type.
View your notes →Read and write at the same time.
