What it does

Built for the way you actually browse actually

No bloat. No 17-button toolbar. Just a pad that's there when you need it.

fast

One shortcut. Any tab.

Press ⌘⇧O on a Stripe dashboard, a YouTube video, a 12,000-word essay — your pad appears instantly. No new tabs, no app-switcher dance.

Color-coded tabs inside the pad

Work, ideas, reading, recipes — pick a color, get a tab. Switch with a flick.

Your notes never leave your browser

Local-first by design. If you turn on Pro sync, your notes are end-to-end encrypted before they leave your device. We can't read them. Neither can our servers.

AES-256-GCM
zero-knowledge sync
persistent

Survives every tab close

Restart the browser, close all 47 tabs, reboot the laptop. The pad and your notes are right where you left them.

Questions

You probably want to know these.

Click any question to expand. Still curious?

A floating notepad that lives on every browser tab. Press the shortcut, jot your thought, keep browsing. It's the fastest way to get an idea out of your head without losing your place.
Install the extension, then press ⌘⇧O (or Ctrl+Shift+O on Windows/Linux) on any tab. A small notepad appears on the page you're already on. Type. It saves as you go. Hit the shortcut again to hide it.
Yes. Every Pro feature is unlocked during the free trial — no credit card, no trial card, no account. After that, you can keep using existing notes read-only or upgrade for $10 once.
Because we hate subscriptions for tools we use every day. $10 once. Free updates for as long as we keep shipping. No surprises.
By default, locally in your browser. Nothing leaves your device. If you turn on cross-device sync (Pro), notes are end-to-end encrypted with AES-256-GCM before they leave — our servers store ciphertext we can't read.
Yes. A single Pro license covers 2 seats — one Chrome, one Firefox. Same notes via sync if you enable it.
Storage (to save your notes locally), context menus (for right-click 'Save to pad'), active tab (to open the pad on your current tab), and host permissions (the pad needs to be available on every page).
None. No analytics in the extension. No tracking pixels. No telemetry. We don't see what pages you visit or what you write.
Yes. Pro users can export to Markdown, JSON, or plain text. Your notes are yours — take them with you anytime.
Email us within 14 days for a full refund, no questions asked. Beyond that, if you hit a real technical problem we'll work it out.
