Scrawl

A notepad in your side panel that wipes on window close.

Scrawl is a lightweight notepad that lives in your Chrome side panel. Jot down quick notes while browsing "no saving, no clutter!". Everything wipes clean when you close the window, so you always start fresh. Features: Window-scoped notes: each Chrome window gets its own notepad. Opening a second window keeps your notes separate. Ephemeral by design: notes are wiped automatically when you close the window. No manual cleanup needed. 5-minute undo: closed the wrong window? A restore banner appears in your next window with a live countdown. One click recovers your notes. Right-click capture: select text on any page, right-click and choose "Send to Scrawl". It lands with a timestamp and a link back to the source page. Link cards: pasting a URL (or right-clicking a page) creates a card with the favicon, page title, and domain. Clickable and deletable. Auto-linkify: type a URL followed by a space and it becomes a clickable link. Works for http, https, and mailto. javascript: and data: links are blocked. Download as .txt: export everything as a text file. The filename includes the window name and date/time. Copy as plain text or Markdown: link cards become [Title](URL) in Markdown. A "Copied!" toast confirms the action. Window naming + color tint: pick from 7 preset colors and give the window a name so you can tell windows apart. Appearance: System, Light, or Dark mode. Follows your OS preference when set to System.
