Overview
Floating Write Notes on any page. Capture text, drawings, and idea nodes — drag them anywhere, style them, export as PDF or text.
Write Notes turns any webpage into your workspace. Stop juggling tabs and apps just to jot something down. With Write Notes, a beautiful floating note lives on top of whatever you’re reading, researching, or building — so your thoughts stay next to the content that inspired them. Capture text. Sketch a diagram. Connect ideas like a mind map. Style the note to match your mood. Export when you’re done. All without leaving the page. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✦ WHY WRITE NOTES? ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ • Stay in flow — notes float over any site you visit • Three modes in one note: rich text, freehand drawing, and connected idea nodes • Drag, resize, and restyle notes so they feel like paper, not software • Import notes someone shared with you (or ones you saved earlier) • Your notes stay on your device — we don’t upload them to a server Whether you’re researching for school, planning a product, taking meeting notes, or sketching UI ideas while browsing, Write Notes is designed to stay out of the way until you need it — then feel powerful the moment you do. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✦ NOTE MODE — WRITE WITH STYLE ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ A full mini editor inside a sticky note: • Bold, italic, underline, strikethrough • Superscript and subscript • Bullet lists and numbered lists (with style options) • Tables — add or remove rows and columns, resize cells, apply border styles • Text color picker • Insert images • Automatic link cards when you paste a URL • Hex color chips when you paste a color code • Code blocks when content looks like code • Live word count • Undo and redo Write the way you think. Format only when it helps. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✦ DRAW MODE — SKETCH ON AN INFINITE CANVAS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Turn a corner of the page into a sketchpad: • Pen with adjustable thickness and color • Eraser that truly removes strokes (not just paint over them) • Line and arrow tools • Rectangle and ellipse shapes • On-canvas text • Paste or insert images onto the canvas • Select, move, and scale objects • Zoom and pan the canvas • Clear the drawing in one tap Perfect for quick diagrams, arrows on screenshots of ideas, wireframes, or messy brainstorming that doesn’t need a full design tool. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✦ NODES MODE — MAP CONNECTED IDEAS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Lightweight mind maps without opening another app: • Double-click the canvas to add a node • Press Tab to create a child from the selected idea • Drag nodes to rearrange — links follow automatically • Multi-select with Ctrl / ⌘ • Link existing nodes after you create them: – Select two nodes → tap Link (first = parent, second = child) – Or Shift+drag from one node onto another • Unlink to remove a parent connection • Per-node background and text colors (or apply to all) • Universal text color for the whole map • Zoom and pan • Insert an image as a node • Export as outline text, PNG, SVG, or editable JSON Great for structuring articles, project breakdowns, study maps, and decision trees. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✦ LOOK & FEEL ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Ten carefully chosen skins: Adjust opacity so the note can sit softly over a busy page or stand solid when you need focus. Resize any note. Drag it anywhere. Name it. Close it without deleting it — reopen from the popup whenever you want. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✦ EXPORT & IMPORT ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Your work shouldn’t be locked inside an extension. Export options include: You can export the notes all in one or separately Import from: As you can export your notes you can also import others note into your own extension just get the notes zip file from your friend and then upload that into the extension ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✦ HOW TO USE ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 1. Install Write Notes from the Chrome Web Store. 2. Click the extension icon. 3. Create a new note or reopen one you already have. 4. Switch between Note, Draw, and Nodes inside the floating window. 5. Drag and resize freely. Change skin and font from the style tray. 6. Use “Open notes board” when you’re on a page that can’t host floating notes (for example some chrome:// pages). 7. Export when you want a backup or something to share. Import when you receive a zip. Tips: • On restricted browser pages, use the Notes Board from the popup. • Hold Ctrl / ⌘ to multi-select nodes, then Link or Delete. • Shift+drag between nodes to connect them quickly. • Use the eraser in Draw mode to clean strokes — it removes ink, not just covers it. ━━━━━━━━━━━ ✦ WHO IT’S FOR ━━━━━━━━━━━ • Students taking notes while reading articles or PDFs in the browser • Writers and researchers collecting quotes and outlines beside sources • Designers and builders sketching ideas next to references • Anyone who wants sticky notes that don’t live in a separate app ━━━━━━━━━━━ ✦ PRIVACY POLICY ━━━━━━━━━━━ Your notes belong to you. • Write Notes stores notes locally in your browser using Chrome’s storage APIs (chrome.storage.local), including unlimitedStorage so larger drawings and images can be saved on your device. • We do not operate a server that receives your note content. • We do not sell, rent, or share your notes or personal data with third parties for advertising. • Notes are not uploaded to the developer by the extension itself. • If you export a note file, that file is created on your device and only goes where you choose to save or send it. • If you later use an optional donate or external link (for example a donation page), that site has its own privacy policy; the extension only opens the link you choose. • The extension requests access to pages so floating notes can appear on websites you visit. It does not read your browsing history for analytics or tracking. • You can delete individual notes from the popup, or remove the extension to clear its local data according to Chrome’s normal uninstall behavior. If you have privacy questions, contact the developer using the support email listed on the Chrome Web Store listing. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✦ PERMISSIONS — WHY WE ASK ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Write Notes uses only the permissions it needs to work: • storage — Save and load your notes, drawings, nodes, positions, and settings on this device. • unlimitedStorage — Allow larger notes and drawings (images, long canvases) without hitting small storage quotas. • activeTab — When you click the extension icon, open or refresh notes on the tab you’re using. • tabs — Detect the current tab so we can open notes there, or open the Notes Board / Import page when a page cannot host floating notes. • scripting — Inject the note UI into normal web pages so notes can float above the content you’re viewing. • Host access (content scripts on web pages) — Required so a note can appear on the sites you browse. The extension does not use this to scrape or sell page content. We do not request identity, geolocation, camera, microphone, or browsing-history permissions. ━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✦ FREE TO USE ━━━━━━━━━━━━ Write Notes is free to install and use. If it helps you stay organized, optional support (donate link in the popup and on the project site) keeps development going — new skins, better export options, and ongoing polish. ━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✦ SUPPORT & FEEDBACK ━━━━━━━━━━━━ Found a bug?
