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.

- (2025-04-23) Hasnith Sankuru: I would give it 5 Stars but honestly the interface is so lame...... If it is improved to a nostalgic or modern design, it will be one of the most Well made Extensions......... I could give it at least 4 stars but the vibe is just missin....
- (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.

- (2024-03-17) MSB AR: After discovering Research Notes (RN) several months ago, I now use it whenever I open a web browser. It is the best extension for storing notes about individual web pages on a computer (not someone's server!) and comparing them later within topics, further refined by tags. • At first, I used RN just to store notes for future references when visiting a web page of interest to me. • Then, I found it was very helpful to see web pages (actually, their clickable URLs) about offerings on a product or service I am shopping for, with my notes, grouped under one topic. • Eventually, because RN is so well-designed, reliable, and easy to use, it became my primary tool for searching the web for articles and books related to my science project. While still in the RN, I can group, sort, and compare search results to decide which ones to keep for reference or acquire materials they describe. The ability to save quotations and images from a web page helps their use as sources. • RN also allows me to save its data in a spreadsheet for further slicing and dicing. Alternatively, I can export RN data to a file and import it to (or merge with) RN on another computer.

- (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.

- (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.

Some other notes taking extensions store your data remotely. Local storage is important for both security and for being able to make a backup.

- (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.
