About Sidekick Notes — Scribing as You Browse

Your thoughts move fast. Sidekick Notes keeps up. Sidekick Notes is a beautiful, full-featured side-panel notes extension that lives right inside your browser. Capture ideas, save web highlights, attach notes directly to pages, and stay organised — without ever leaving the tab you're on. ✦ Built for how you actually browse Most notes apps make you context-switch. Sidekick Notes doesn't. Open it once with a single click and it stays in your browser's side panel, always within reach, never in the way. Key Features 📝 Rich Notes Create notes with titles, body text, and screenshots of any webpage. Eight background colours to visually organise at a glance. Pin important notes to the top, archive the ones you're done with. 📸 One-click Screenshots Capture the visible tab directly into a note with a single button. Floating notes are automatically hidden during capture so your screenshot is always clean. 🗂 Collections Group notes into colour-coded collections. Create and manage collections from the main toolbar. Move any note into a collection at any time from the note's context menu or while editing. ✦ Save from Any Page Highlight any text on a website, right-click, and choose "Create a Smart Note" — the selected text lands instantly in a new note with the source URL attached, ready for you to add a heading. 🗒 Floating Notes Attach any note to the current tab as a draggable, resizable floating widget. It stays on the page while you browse, always visible. Resize it in both width and height, minimise it to just a title bar, or dismiss it with one click. Edit the note's title and body directly inside the widget — changes sync instantly back to your notes library. 🔍 Search & Filter Full-text search across all your notes in real time. Filter by All, Pinned, Collections, or Archived with one tap. 🌓 Automatic Dark Mode Sidekick Notes respects your browser theme. Switch your system or Chrome to dark mode and the extension follows automatically — every panel, editor, and floating note included. ⚡ Instant & Private All your notes are stored locally in your browser. Nothing is sent to any server. Fast, private, and yours. Perfect for Researchers, students, writers, developers, and anyone who reads and thinks on the web. Sidekick Notes — always by your side.
