it is very good and reliable extension

Lisa Mohar2025年7月16日

I’ve been using Notes Sidebar for months and it’s become an essential tool in my workflow. As someone who sends a lot of repetitive emails, I love how easy it is to keep quick-reference notes organized and accessible right in my browser. It’s lightweight, intuitive, and saves a lot of time without overcomplicating things. I did recently run into an issue where notes weren’t saving properly after copying and pasting. I reached out to the developer, Stefan, and was genuinely impressed by how responsive and thoughtful he was. He quickly identified the problem (a storage limit on cloud sync), released an update with a new storage option, and even addressed a small design tweak I mentioned. You can tell he genuinely cares about the user experience. Highly recommend this extension if you’re looking for a simple and reliable way to keep notes handy while working online. Great product and even better support!

Perfect. In the last 20 years, I think I have tried just about every alternative, but I shall stick with this and recommend it. It is particularly useful for making temporary notes about things to do next or "in a moment". Or things you will later move to your proper "Do" list, such as Todoist or Google Tasks. The only weak point is the video "explanation". It is better to just download it and try it out. You'll figure it out.

It would be perfect if the sidebar could be set to either the left or right side. 小小支持了一點

I really want to like this extension. A sidebar to take notes in my browser is exactly what I need. But I'm running into issues with text disappearing. I made a bunch of notes on stuff I needed to follow up on today while I was working yesterday. Throughout the day. Next day when I started up my PC and opened Chrome they were all gone. I had a second tab just now, closed the side bar, when I opened it the second tab was gone. Made a test note and switched back and forth a few times and closed it and it seemed to stay, but when I pasted in the table I actually needed in that note and switched to the main tab, by the time I switched back everything in the second tab was just the test note. It's frustrating to say the least.

Good and simple sidebar, but this ad on the bottom is really annoying -,-

Susanne Vejdemo2025年5月8日

Original review: Like other users, I also lost a lot of work, about a day of notes from a conference when the note sidebar extension suddenly crashed (the extension just crashed, not the page) - it deleted everything apart from the first aroun 8000 characters that were apparently saved. Update: Excellent, fast response from the creator, who really cares about updating and bug fixing. From what I can tell, this bug is now fixed.

Very helpful tool--likely one of my favorite extensions as a college student. One issue I've had recently is that it frequently corrupts, so I often need to delete and redownload it... Then again, my laptop is complete and utter garbage, so it may just be an issue with my device rather than the extension itself; I still think it's worth mentioning just in case other people have had this issue. It's worth the slight hassle either way :)

Pablo Mujica2025年4月17日

I wish I could leave negative stars as this extension resulted in a massive net loss. 7 hours of research for a project was deleted when I opened a new tab. I am in so much disbelief I can't even react with anger. This was critical information and time for an opportunity I can't get back and massive sacrifices where made towards this project.

Emily Fuller2025年4月13日

I really like this extension... until I made a horrible mistake today. I took a bunch of personal notes in it and highlighted it instead of using the copy past button and I pressed the wrong key on my Chromebook... everything was deleted and then I found out since I had just created it... there is no way to get it back.... UGHHHHH I still love this extension and will continue to use it, but can we please add an undo button... I wanna cry right now

The deterministic heuristic flagged 'subscribe' and 'upgrade' keywords as paid signals, but contextual review confirms these are false positives (YouTube channel subscription and a feature description, respectively)
Cannot verify runtime behavior (e.g., whether promotional reminders are intrusive) without executing the extension

Monetization

No paid features detected

No paid features or payment gating detected. The 'subscribe' keyword refers to YouTube channel subscription (desremyoutube: 'Subscribe on YouTube'), not a paid subscription. The 'upgrade' keyword (titeldownloadupgrade) describes a cinema-dark-mode feature description, not a paid upgrade. The 'pro' keyword matches occur in 'project', 'promotext', 'promotitle' (promotional text for other free extensions), and 'product' (extension product name). No payment platforms (Stripe, billing APIs) are referenced. The extension is GPL-licensed open-source software. Donations are solicited via an external link but are voluntary and do not gate any features.

Confidence: 92
Payment platform: --
Source: AI / High
Login required: No
Reason: No login or authentication flow exists. The extension stores data locally via chrome.storage.sync/local. The 'account' references in locale files refer to the browser's built-in sync feature ('sync it to your web browser account'), not a separate account requirement. The password feature (password protection of notes) is a local content-protection toggle, not an authentication gate.
