KEEP NOTES AND ORGANIZE PAGES
Bookmark, tag or add notes to pages.
SAVE & HIGHLIGHT QUOTES
Save quotes or other text snippets from pages (or PDFs), highlight quotes on the page.
SAVE IMAGES
Save images with pages - either pictures directly from the page or copy-pasted screenshots via a tool like Snipping Tool or Paint.
TAGS WITH VALUE
Advanced tagging: you can add values to the tags. For example, to record a page’s author, add a tag like “Author: <author’s name>”. Or, when searching for products and comparing good websites with alternative offerings, add tags to pages such as “Product: <product name>” or “Price: <product price>”.
You can group and sort by tags and values separately on the all notes -page.
RESEARCH UNDER SEPARATE TOPICS
All your pages and searches will be saved under topics that you define. This helps keep your different research topics - be it work, school or hobbies - separated from each other.
SAVE YOUR GOOGLE OR GOOGLE SCHOLAR SEARCHES
When studying a topic in-depth, save searches to remember what search terms you’ve used, which ones got great results and how far into the results you have looked.
By default, search saving is turned off, it can be activated for each Google search tab separately.
HELPFUL SEARCHING OPTIONS
Cross out and hide search results that are not useful.
Instantly add notes and tags to results straight in your Google search.
OVERVIEW OF SAVED RESEARCH
A special all notes -page gives a comprehensive overview of your topics, pages and searches. See your researched pages either in list or table format. Filter pages by text, tags, notes or bookmarks.

Latest reviews
- (2024-06-07) William Situ: Great notes app that works across multiple webpages. Data persists if you turn off and on the extension, and can import/export notes easily. Edit: -2 stars for pushing an update that deletes all my notes. I know was a bug, but a single event like that negates the convenience of the extension. The export is in json so it isn't very interoperable with other note apps anyway.
- (2024-04-12) Jared R: Amazing lightweight but super useful tool. I can't live without it now. 2024 EDIT: Three years later and still perfect. This is the most underrated extension in the webstore.
- (2023-07-18) Robin Griggs Wood: WARNING: This extension just went crazy, creating close to 30 new _empty_ folders in my bookmarks. Developer, please update your app!
- (2023-07-06) King Lion: Awesome!!!Thanks developer!!! That would be better if we can see the context for the highlight and can export notes to markdown files
- (2023-06-01) 果子煎饼: 非常强悍的插件,即可以当笔记,也可以当导航
- (2022-12-20) Lindsey Parker: This app is wonderful, and is hands down the best free extension I have ever stumbled across. I feel like it sounds like i'm being hyperbolic, but this app legitimately improved my quality of life, and has made my research-heavy workload far more productive. Is this app the reason I got a raise? Distinctly possible. Either way, I definitely gained office clout for recommending this add-on to my coworkers. Bravo, app developers. Bravo.
- (2022-12-03) Inigo Montoya: best tagging functionality of all time
- (2022-10-12) Mahima Davanam: In my opinion, this is one very effective working extension, has really helped me organize my notes and links, serves the purpose right!
- (2021-10-07) jane doe: Unfortunately, it doens't work with pdfs. It does higlight webpages and saves it, but if you try to highlight a pdf it just does nothing. Which is incredibly disappointing as pdfs are the main way researchers read research.
- (2021-06-24) Ja G: absolutely the best highlighter and notes taking extension for chrome. i am extremely impressed. forget about the other paid highlighter extensions. this one is free and the most useful of all. Thank you for making this extension. keep up the good work!
- (2021-05-29) amuhnmud alifa: TRASH AD EMAIL!!!! DISGUSTING
- (2020-12-08) Clement Maloney: "Privacy The information that you save with the extension - page addresses, searches, notes, tags, etc - is stored exclusively in your browser" this is immensely important for me. Some other notes taking extensions store your data remotely. Local storage is important for both security and for being able to make a backup.
- (2020-08-29) amirMasoud Hadidi: Thanks for everything. but is this my fault, because anytime i save any quote, a popup will be opened in a new page in chrome, and it's genuinely disturbing.
- (2020-07-07) Eason G: This is the best note taking extension on chrome. I personally tried about 15 notes taking extensions. Please continue develop this great extension
- (2019-11-27) Ayça Memiş: Sekmeler için Toby, web sitelerinden notlar için LINER ve Google Keep uzantılarını kullanıyordum. Fakat bu hepsini bir araya getiriyor. Umarım bir an önce mobil uygulamayı da yaparsınız. Fakat web sitesinde gizlilik ve güvenlikle ilgili ayrıntılı bir açıklama ve bu web siteyi geliştirenler hakkında bilgi göremedim. Bu da biraz kuşku uyandırıyor.
