Chrome extension · version 1.1.0

Notes woven into the page

NoteInSite doesn't stick a sticker on top of a website: the note becomes part of the layout, like a sidebar in a magazine — the text moves aside and flows around it, nothing is covered. Next time you open the page, the note will be right where you left it.

Free · no sign-up · your notes never leave your browser

The essentials in three points

A note takes up space in the layout, is formatted like a regular document and stays with you only.

🧩

Inside the text, not on top of it

A note takes up space in the layout: in a wide block the text flows around it, in a narrow one it moves down. Nothing is covered, and next time you open the page the note is exactly where it was — even if the layout has shifted.

✎

Formatting at hand

Bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, 9 fonts, sizes from 11 to 40 px, text color and note color, lists, links and emoji. The toolbar appears when you click or tap a note and hides when you click elsewhere — it never gets in the way of reading.

🔒

Nothing goes online

Notes live in the browser's local storage. The extension makes no network requests, collects no statistics and doesn't read the content of the pages you work on.

What it looks like

Four states: notes inside the page text, the insertion cursor while dragging, edit mode and the extension window.

A web page with three colored notes inside the text: paragraphs flow around them on the left and right

Dragging a note: the layout block is highlighted, a bar shows the insertion line and a dashed outline marks the note's future place
While you drag a note, you see the layout block, the insertion line and the spot where the note will land.
A note woven into the text in edit mode: a toolbar with formatting buttons and emoji is open above it
A click or tap on a note opens editing together with the toolbar: styles, fonts, colors, links and an emoji grid.
The extension window: visibility switches, the list of notes on the page, export of all notes or just this page, import
The extension window shows note visibility, the list of notes on the page and backups: everything at once or just this page.

Handy when you

Follow instructions

Procedures, knowledge bases, documentation — a remark like “we do it differently here” goes right into the right step, and the text makes room for it.

Learn from articles

Your summary sits next to the paragraph, not in a separate file where it's unclear what it referred to.

Do routine tasks on the web

A note with a link to a reference opens it in a popup window of the right size — your tab stays free.

Need a reminder for the whole site

The 🌐 button makes a note shared across all pages of the site, and 📌 pins it to the screen.

Get started in a minute

Install the extension

From the Chrome Web Store or manually from the archive — see the installation guide.

Open the page you need

Reload tabs that are already open: the notes layer connects when the page loads.

Place a note

Right-click → “Add a note here”, Alt+Shift+N or Alt + double-click. The text will make room for the note by itself.

Write and format

A click or tap on a note opens editing together with the toolbar; Esc or a click elsewhere closes it.

Frequently asked questions

Can anyone else see my notes?

No. A note exists only in your browser: other visitors don't see it, and the website itself knows nothing about it. Sharing and syncing between devices are not supported.

What happens to notes if the website changes?

A note looks for its anchor — the heading or paragraph it was placed next to. If that element is gone, the note returns to its saved coordinates. After a major redesign of the page you may need to move the note by hand.

Why does the extension need access to all websites?

You can place a note on any website, and there's no way to list them in advance. The access is used only to draw the extension's own notes layer and put notes back in place — page content is not read and not sent anywhere. See the privacy policy for details.

How do I move my notes to another computer?

The extension window has “Export” and “Import” buttons: all notes are saved to a single JSON file and restored from it on another device.

Does it work in other browsers?

The extension is built on Manifest V3 and designed for Chrome. In browsers on the same engine — Edge, Brave, Vivaldi, Opera — it installs the same way, manually from the archive. Firefox and Safari are not supported.
