- (2025-07-18) SAHIL SHEGOKAR: This is a perfect tool for taking notes from YouTube, but Iโve encountered an issue. When I try to copy text opened in the sidebar panel, the text doesnโt copy. I donโt understand why this happens. I uninstalled and reโinstalled the Chrome extension, but the same issue occurs every time. Your extension is really good, but if you could fix this problem, it would help me a lot.
- (2025-06-20) Kristin Denman: I am inexperienced with extensions and seem to always pick the useless/spotty ones. This one however has been amazing. It was looking for something like the google sidebar that I would be able to use outside of google sites. Keep has all of my lists including my major ones of groceries and to do. This allows me to quickly just add to them mid browse without switching windows. I have yet to have an issue with it. This with the web clipper allow me to easily just "note" whatever I think of at that moment and move on. Productivity life saver.

- (2024-06-27) S LT: I was just today looking for a way to have my Keep notes handy in any browser tab as a sidebar, and this is the only app I found that does it. So far it works pretty well! I'll update if I encounter any issues.
