You had a thought. Then you opened a tab to look something up. Then another. And another. Somewhere around the fourth tab, the thought was gone.

So we put your notebook where you always end up: the new tab.

Try it

Go on. Write something.

This is the idea, running right here. Type a note, then open a new tab with the + and see what’s waiting.

Two keys. That’s the whole workflow.Press Ctrl+T anywhere in Chrome and your notes are already open.

Everything a note needs.Nothing that pulls you away.

  1. 01 Notes, as tabs

    A tab for every train of thought.

    Today, Reading, that side project. Give each note an icon and a name, drag to reorder, and jump between them from the sidebar.

  2. 02 Blocks

    Type / and keep typing.

    Headings, checklists, tables and dividers without leaving the keyboard. Markdown habits like [ ] and --- just work.

    The slash command menu listing headings, lists, check list, divider, table and emoji

  3. 03 Canvas

    Draw when words won’t do.

    Flip any note into a sketchpad for diagrams, maps and quick doodles. Flip back and your text is right where you left it.

    Draw mode with three hand-drawn shapes connected by arrows

  4. 04 Privacy mode

    Blur it in one click.

    Someone walks past, you tap the eye. Your notes blur in every open tab until you tap it again.

  5. 05 Dark mode

    Easy on the eyes after dark.

    Follows your system theme, or switch it yourself from the corner.

Private by design

Your notes neverleave your computer.

Everything is saved in your own browser. And when someone walks past your screen, privacy mode blurs it all in one click.

Questions

Fair questions.

Where are my notes stored?

In Chrome’s local extension storage on this computer. They are never uploaded anywhere.

Do notes sync between computers?

No. Notes stay on the device you wrote them on. Tabs open on the same computer stay in sync with each other.

What if I uninstall it?

Chrome removes the extension’s data with it, so copy out anything you want to keep first.

Can I get the normal new tab back?

Any time. Turn the extension off at chrome://extensions and Chrome’s default new tab returns.

Does it cost anything?

No. Every feature is free, with no account and no trial.
