About NotePane
NotePane is a fast, focused notes app that lives in your browser's side panel, so your notes are always one click away while you browse.
✦ A real editor, not a text box
• Rich text: headings, bold, italics, links, quotes and code blocks
• Type "/" for the command menu to insert headings, lists, to-dos, code and more
• Checkbox to-do lists for tasks and checklists
• Paste Markdown and it's formatted automatically
• Export any note to a Markdown file
✦ Organise without the clutter
• Pin important notes to the top
• Set a priority on each note
• Instant search across every note's title and content
• Trash with restore, so nothing is lost by accident
✦ Capture from anywhere
• Right-click any selected text → "Save selection to note"
• Open the side panel with Ctrl+Shift+L (⌘+Shift+L on Mac)
• Keyboard shortcuts: Ctrl+N new note, Ctrl+K search, Ctrl+S save, Ctrl+B toggle sidebar
✦ Offline-first, synced to your own Google Drive
• Notes are saved in your browser first, so writing and search work offline
• Changes sync automatically to a "NotePane" folder in your own Google Drive
• Sign in on another computer and your notes come with you
✦ Private by design
• NotePane can only see the files it creates, never the rest of your Drive
• Your notes go straight between your browser and your Google Drive. NotePane has no servers of its own.
✦ Share when you want to
• Create a read-only link to any note, and turn it off whenever you like
✦ Easy on the eyes
• Clean monochrome design with light and dark themes
