About Sticky Notes for Gmail™
Sticky Notes for Gmail™
Some emails need more than a reply. They need a reminder. A bit of context. A note to yourself that you'll actually see the next time the conversation comes up.
HOW IT WORKS
Open any conversation in Gmail and attach a note. It appears with the email, in your own private color. The note stays tied to that specific conversation, so you never have to remember which email it belonged to — it finds you.
Use notes for whatever you'd otherwise forget:
• What you promised someone, and by when
• The context behind a thread you'll revisit later
• A follow-up you don't want to lose
• A quiet reminder only you can see
• Anything you'd scribble on a sticky note and slap on your monitor
WHICH APP DO I INSTALL? (Please read — this matters)
Sticky Notes comes in two parts, and you need both if you want your notes to sync between your computer and your phone:
• On your computer: install the Chrome extension for Gmail (this listing). It works in the Chrome browser on Windows, Mac, Linux, and ChromeOS.
• On your phone: install the Google Workspace add-on for Gmail from the Google Workspace Marketplace. It works inside the official Gmail app on both Android and iPhone/iPad.
Install both, and a note you write on your computer instantly appears on your phone — and the other way around.
Not using the Chrome browser on your computer? No problem. Install the Google Workspace add-on for Gmail on both your computer and your phone instead, and everything still syncs. (The add-on works in Gmail on the web in any browser, plus the mobile app.)
Using Chrome incognito or a private window? The Chrome extension doesn't run in incognito — that's Chrome's rule for all extensions — but the Google Workspace add-on does, because it runs inside Gmail itself. So you're never locked out: use the add-on for private windows, non-Chrome browsers, and mobile.
YOUR NOTES FOLLOW YOU EVERYWHERE
Write a note on your computer, and it's on your phone. Add one on your phone, and it's on your desktop. Your notes sync automatically across every device where you use Gmail — no copying, no exporting, no thinking about it.
WE NEVER SEE YOUR NOTES. NOT ONCE.
This is the part most apps won't tell you: your notes are saved in your Google Drive — in a private space reserved just for this app — and nowhere else. We don't run servers. We don't have a database of your notes. We couldn't read them if we wanted to, because they never touch our systems.
Your notes stay yours. That's not a marketing line — it's how the app is built. There's simply no place for your data to go except your own Google account.
BUILT FOR PRIVACY-CONSCIOUS WORKPLACES
Because your notes never leave your own Google account — and we operate no servers that could ever see them — Sticky Notes fits naturally into environments where data control matters. There's no third party holding your information, no external database, and nothing leaving your organization's Google Workspace.
If your workplace already trusts Google Workspace with your email, your notes live in exactly the same place, under exactly the same controls. We simply add nothing new for you to worry about.
(This describes how the app is built. It is not a certification or a legal compliance guarantee — organizations with specific regulatory requirements should review the app against their own policies.)
SIMPLE BY DESIGN
No sign-ups. No accounts to create. No subscriptions. No syncing settings to configure. You connect your Google Drive once, and it just works — quietly, in the background, the way a good tool should.
PERFECT FOR
• Professionals juggling dozens of conversations
• Anyone who lives in their inbox
• People who care about their privacy
• Freelancers and consultants tracking client threads
• Anyone who's ever forgotten why an email mattered
REQUIREMENTS
• A Google account (Gmail)
• Chrome browser (for this extension) — or use the Google Workspace add-on in any browser
• Google Drive, where your notes are privately stored (uses a tiny amount of space)
Attach your first note in seconds. Your inbox is about to get a memory.
