About Pocket Notes Sidebar
Pocket Notes Sidebar is a lightweight notebook built into Chrome's side panel. It helps you keep quick notes beside the pages you are reading, without switching tabs or opening a separate app.
Create notebooks, write notes, search your saved content, and capture selected webpage text from the right-click menu. Notes are saved automatically in Chrome storage, with optional Chrome sync for smaller note collections.
Features:
- Open a clean note-taking sidebar from the Chrome toolbar.
- Create, rename, switch, and delete notebooks.
- Write notes in plain text, Markdown-style formatting, or rich text mode.
- Capture selected webpage text with a right-click menu action.
- Save source page title and URL with clipped text.
- Search notes in the active notebook.
- Export individual notes as TXT files.
- Export and restore a full JSON backup.
- Optionally sync notes with Chrome sync.
- Choose English, Simplified Chinese, or Japanese UI.
- Pick from multiple color themes.
- Use a keyboard shortcut to open the sidebar.
Privacy:
Pocket Notes Sidebar does not send your notes to an external server. Notes are stored locally in Chrome by default. If you enable sync, notes are stored using Chrome's built-in sync storage through your own Chrome account. The extension only captures webpage text when you explicitly select text and choose the context menu action.
