Quick Notes

Quick Notes is a floating note-taking extension for Chrome. Press Alt+N or click the addon button on any webpage to open a draggable, resizable notepad that lives above the page, so you can capture thoughts, links, and snippets without switching tabs or apps. Everything auto-saves locally as you type - no accounts, no setup, no telemetry. Notes support Markdown formatting with live preview: headings, bold, italic, inline and fenced code blocks, links, checklists, pipe tables with alignment, and text colors. Paste or drag-drop images and GIFs directly into notes; GIFs animate in preview. Organize with multiple notes, pinning, tags with eight color labels, inline rename, and full-text search across all notes (Ctrl+F). Split view lets you edit two notes side-by-side horizontally or vertically. Focus mode hides all toolbars for distraction-free writing. Customize panel shape, opacity (30-100%), font size (10-28px), and theme colors for both dark and light modes. Per-site auto-paste rules and per-site default notes streamline recurring workflows. Right-click menu entries send selected text or page URLs into your active note. Optional Google Drive sync (opt-in) backs up everything to a hidden per-app folder in your own Drive using the minimum-privilege drive.appdata scope, which cannot access your other Drive files. One-click JSON backup and restore for full portability. 100% local-first by default. Zero tracking. Open source under MIT license.
