Frequently Asked Questions

What is FreelyMemo?

FreelyMemo is a floating notepad that lives on every browser tab. Press a shortcut, jot your thought, and keep browsing — no context switch required.

How does it work?

Install the extension, press ⌘⇧O (or Ctrl+Shift+O on Windows/Linux), and a small notepad appears on your current page. Your notes are saved automatically.

Is FreelyMemo free?

Yes! FreelyMemo starts with a 7-day free trial that unlocks every feature — no credit card needed. After the trial, a one-time purchase of Pro unlocks FreelyMemo permanently.

What happens when the trial ends?

Your existing notes stay safe but all features are locked. Purchase Pro to continue using FreelyMemo.

How much does Pro cost?

FreelyMemo Pro is a one-time payment of $10 — no subscriptions, no recurring charges. That includes unlimited notes, cross-device sync, export, search, and priority support.

Does my Pro license work on both Chrome and Firefox?

Yes. A single Pro license key covers 2 seats — one for Chrome and one for Firefox. Purchase once, use on both browsers.

Where is my data stored?

Notes are stored locally in your browser using Chrome's built-in storage API. During the trial and on Pro, your data never leaves your device unless you opt into cross-device sync, which transmits encrypted note data between authenticated devices.

Does FreelyMemo collect my browsing data?

No. FreelyMemo does not collect browsing history, page content, or any data from the websites you visit. See our privacy policy for full details.

Which browsers are supported?

FreelyMemo is available for Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox. Both extensions share the same feature set.

What's the keyboard shortcut?

Press ⌘⇧O on macOS or Ctrl+Shift+O on Windows/Linux to toggle the notepad on any tab.

How do I get support?

Visit our contact page to reach us. Pro users receive priority support.

How does cross-device sync work?

Pro users can enable sync to keep notes in sync across Chrome and Firefox browsers. Notes are encrypted on your device using a key derived from your license key, then synced via our secure server. The server only stores encrypted data it cannot read.

Is my synced data secure?

Yes. Sync uses AES-256-GCM encryption with a key derived from your license key via PBKDF2. Your notes are encrypted before leaving your device. We use a zero-knowledge architecture — our server never has access to your encryption key or your note content.

How do I enable or disable sync?

Open the FreelyMemo pad, go to Settings, and toggle Cross-Device Sync on or off. Sync is one-click — no separate account or passphrase needed. Your license key is used to derive the encryption key automatically. Disabling sync keeps your notes local; server data is deleted after 30 days.
