About TriggerNote – Notes that find you
📝 Rich notes that find you — the moment you land on the right site.
TriggerNote is a rich-text notes app with a twist: pin any note to the websites where it matters, and it appears on the page the moment you open that tab. Write the note once, pin it to the URLs that should surface it, and forget about it. The next time you're there, your note slides in exactly when it's useful.
No more checklists you never check. No more sticky notes around your monitor. No more "I'll remember." Just the right note, on the right tab, at the right time — and a clean place to keep everything else.

🎯 HOW IT WORKS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
1️⃣ Write a note → a real editor: headings, checklists, highlights, links, quotes, code. Type / for commands, or select text for the formatting bar.
2️⃣ (Optional) Flip on "Show on matching URLs" and add one or more triggers — URL patterns with simple * wildcards.
3️⃣ Browse normally. The moment a tab's URL matches, your pinned note slides in as a small, dismissible overlay on the page.
Notes you don't pin just live in the toolbar popup (or a side panel) as a tidy notes list. Pin the ones you want to resurface.

💡 WHAT PEOPLE USE IT FOR
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
▸ Meetings
Pin to: *meet.google.com*
Note: A checklist — "Hit record · Share the agenda doc · Note action items"
▸ Code review
Pin to: *github.com/*/pull/*
Note: "Check the linked issue. Run the tests locally before approving."
▸ Inbox discipline
Pin to: *mail.google.com*
Note: "10 minutes max. Reply, archive, or snooze — no scrolling."
▸ Focus mode
Pin to: *twitter.com* or *x.com* or *reddit.com*
Note: "You said you'd stop. Close the tab."
▸ Client context
Pin to: *app.notion.so/your-client-workspace*
Note: "Bill this time to project ACME-2024. Use the new template."
▸ Standup prep
Pin to: *linear.app* or *jira.com*
Note: A checklist — "What shipped yesterday · Today's focus · Blockers"
And the rest — meeting notes, reading lists, drafts, snippets — just stay in your notes list until you need them. If you can describe a site with a URL pattern, you can put a note on it.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🔒 PRIVACY YOU CAN ACTUALLY VERIFY
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Privacy isn't a marketing line here — it's how the product is built.
▸ FREE TIER: zero network requests. Your notes live in your browser's local storage. We don't have them. We can't read them. No account, no email, no telemetry.
▸ URL MATCHING IS LOCAL: every URL you visit is evaluated on your device. The list of sites you pin notes to never leaves your machine. We never see your browsing history.
▸ NO ANALYTICS, NO TRACKING, NO ADS — ever. Not "anonymized," not "aggregated." None.
▸ NO REMOTE CODE: the extension ships with all its logic. We can't push behaviour changes without a Web Store update you can read.
▸ OPTIONAL PRO SYNC: only kicks in if you create an account and turn it on. Your notes sync through our infrastructure (Supabase), encrypted in transit and at rest, isolated per account. Payments handled by Stripe — we never see card data.
You can use TriggerNote forever without ever creating an account.

🛠️ WHY IT EXISTS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Productivity apps assume you'll open them. You won't. You'll open Gmail, Slack, GitHub, your CRM, your calendar — the sites you already use — and you'll forget the thing you swore you'd do there.
TriggerNote flips that around. Keep your notes in one tidy place, then pin the ones that matter to the pages where the work happens. The right note, at the right URL, at the right second.
Tiny idea. Surprisingly hard to live without once you have it.

📋 PERMISSIONS — WHY WE ASK
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
▸ "Read and change all your data on all websites"
Required so the overlay can render on the sites you pin notes to. URLs are matched on-device. We never read page content. We never transmit your browsing.
▸ Storage
To save your notes locally on your device.
▸ Alarms
Only used by Pro sync, to refresh your notes in the background every few minutes. Does nothing if you don't enable Pro.
▸ supabase.co + the TriggerNote site
Only used by Pro: sign-in, sync, and Stripe checkout/portal. Zero network traffic…
