Private Notes gives you safe and fully encrypted place for your Top Secret notes!

Description from store
Private Notes is ideal for storing the most sensitive information like Recovery codes, Wi-Fi passwords, server configs, etc...
Why?
Let's start with Privacy and permissions:
- There are no permissions - this extension can't make any remote requests or submit any data!
- This extension is NOT using own cloud servers, data are synchronized by browser-integrated "Chrome Sync" engine (encrypted).
- Your password is NOT stored at all. It's hashed (something like a fingerprint) using advanced PBKDF2 function with 100k iterations and strong salt.
- Unlocked notes and decryption keys are never stored - they are only kept in the private system memory and will disappear the moment you close browser.
- Even if someone gains physical access to your PC, he won't be able to access your notes nor password. This is one of the safest place ever created!
Top features:
- Encrypted notes - all your notes are always stored encrypted!
- Automatic backups - each device creates encrypted local backups of your notes (plus "Chrome Sync" holds a backup)
- No need to create additional account - Chrome Sync will handle synchronization
- Advanced Text Editor - supports many advanced text features
- Code highlight for many popular languages and configs
- Compression - all notes are compressed to save space
- Auto-lock - will help you keep your notes locked when you leave your PC
Limitations of Chrome Sync engine:
- Chrome Sync can handle only 100KB of data - so you can't store huge notes. However thanks to build in compression, you should be able to store more than 100,000 characters of text.
- Single note only 8KB size limit - each note can have only up to 8,000 characters - again thanks to compression this should be more.

- (2022-09-19) Paweł Latkowski: Szukałem miejsca gdzie będę mógł składować podręczne, często używane rzeczy - i oto jest. Wpis zrobiony na jednej maszynie wędruje za mną gdziekolwiek uruchomię mój profil! Super praca, gratulacje!
- (2022-04-07) RANDOM HUMAN: This extension is amazing! Very helpful, simple, and easy to manage! A little color customization could happen? Very functional and cool! Thanks so much Juraj!
- (2021-11-17) Sergey Andreev: Работает, позволяет вести заметки не выходя из chrome, и хранить их под защитой пароля. Не хватает возможности экспорта в различных форматах (html, txt, rtf), возможности отправить в заметки выделенную часть веб-страницы, добавить в них картинки. Как альтернативу советую Notility, но в этом расширение к записям нельзя закрыть доступ.
- (2021-10-26) Brain Dead: Chrome sync works, nice! Translations, check. Simple enough to use, check. Maybe gui color adjustment would help to feel completely at home. Looking forward to using it more often.
- (2021-06-12) Líam Murray: This is a very useful add-on for taking notes, the best for that purpose I've come across so far. Easy and convenient to use, you can just click on the extension and start writing right away. The app seems secure and reliable and it does not randomly erase notes without explanation as I've had happen to me on some other note-taking apps. There are no adds. The developer also does a good job of explaining how the program works to the users and is also very helpful with queries one might have and responds to messages quickly. There isn't anything in particular to be improved in my opinion, apart from maybe adding more options at the top such as more fonts, and the repairing link and Tx functions, which do not seem to work in the version I'm using. Just note that if one of your notes suddenly lock and cannot be unlocked with the password as what happened to me once, simply go to the backup function and restore the backup at some previous time to recover your notes. Overall, I'm very satisfied with the the current 3.2 version of this add-on.
- (2021-04-11) Katrina Samantha: i honestly just needed a place to write my diary xD and i needed something simple yet with a couple of features and private notes has it all. it'll be cool to add more features like being able to add photos and some colors for the notes but otherwise its a pretty good app if you need something simple and private. a+ for security too. just note that you can only have much storage since its only a chrome extension.
- (2020-11-30) Steve Marshall: Seems initially ok. Hard to change font size, unless zoom the whole page, as a separate browser window. It's not too clear how the sync works, or where the notes are being stored. If I clear my browser's cache, does that also clear/delete my notes? Thanks, for your reply. I have noticed what could be an annoying bug now too. I have logged out of the program, the day before, but the next day, the program opens itself automatically in a tab, and if I ignore this, it then opens another tab, so I have after a while multiple tabs, from your program, all asking me to log in to the program with my password.
- (2020-08-10) Yaswanth Reddy: This is one of my every-day use extensions. It help me a lot to keep track with the stuff that I have to do. I also like the fact that I can use the same extension on different devices and it syncs automatically!!. Feature wise it may not be the best but overall good extension.
