Notes in Chrome's side panel, beside every tab
Chrome's side panel is the best place a notepad can live: it opens beside your tabs instead of on top of them, stays pinned as you browse, and never steals your window. My Notes is a notepad built specifically for it.
Why the side panel beats a notes tab
A notes app in a separate tab means constant switching — copy something, change tab, paste, change back. With a side-panel notepad your notes and the page share the screen. Read on the left, write on the right. Right-click any selected text and it lands in your note with a link back to the source page.
Built for the way you browse
- One click to open — pin My Notes to the side panel and it follows you across every site.
- Clip from any page — right-click a selection or grab a screenshot; it's saved with its source.
- A real editor — headings, checklists, tables, images and a slash menu, not a plain textarea.
- Private — notes are stored on your device. No account, no server, nothing tracked.
My Notes is free on the Chrome Web Store, works offline, and your notes export to Markdown anytime.
