Adnota

Annotate and edit the web. Erase, highlight, draw, and annotate any page — saved across sessions, stored privately on your machine.

Adnota turns any webpage into your personal canvas. Erase distractions, highlight what matters, add sticky notes, draw, or resize cramped layouts - every change saves automatically and restores the next time you visit the page. Everything stays on your machine. No accounts. No cloud. No data leaving your browser. 100% Open Source: https://github.com/adnota-app/adnota ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ THE TOOLS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ • ERASER - Remove ads, banners, sidebars, or anything cluttering a page. Shift+Click to remove similar elements site-wide. • HIGHLIGHTER - Mark important text with persistent color highlights across long articles, AI conversations, and documentation. • STICKY NOTES - Pin thoughts, reminders, or context to any part of any page. They restore exactly where you left them. • RESIZER - Reshape stubborn layouts. Make text bigger, columns wider, sidebars smaller. • DRAW - Pen, arrow, rectangle, ellipse, and text annotations layered over the page. • SCRATCH PAD - A panel that collects every highlight and note on the current page. Jump back to any of them, or copy them all into a new thread (perfect for long AI conversations). ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ HOW IT WORKS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Open the Adnota dock with Alt+A, pick a tool, and start working. Everything you do is saved automatically and restored on your next visit to that page. Per-domain controls let you turn Adnota off on sites where you don't want it. Undo works across every tool. Hide all annotations with Alt+S when you need a clean view. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ PRIVACY ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Adnota uses three permissions: "storage" (to save your annotations locally), "favicon" (to display site icons in your annotation history), and access to all websites — so its tools are always ready. You can disable Adnota on any specific site in one keystroke, and a global blacklist persists per domain. Nothing is ever sent to a server. Nothing is uploaded. There are no accounts and no telemetry. Your annotations live entirely in your browser. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ COMPATIBILITY ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Adnota works on the open web - articles, AI chats, documentation, shopping, social, and most everyday sites. The modern web is a wide spectrum, and highly dynamic web apps (such as those that rebuild their layout as you scroll or navigate) occasionally need a moment to settle, or may not anchor perfectly every time. When that happens, Adnota fails gracefully - your annotations are never lost, just temporarily unrendered. Toggle Alt+S to hide and restore, or refresh the page to re-anchor. Spot a site that doesn't work the way you'd expect?
