Local-first browser notes
Capture the note, keep the context
Save notes on the page you’re already using, turn them into reminders or tasks, and review everything later by session.
The problem
Why Context Notes exists
Most of the notes we write while working are quick, messy, and easy to lose.
Think about how many places quick notes end up during a normal workday.
A sticky note on your desk.
A Slack message to yourself.
A scratch doc.
Apple Notes.
A comment in Confluence.
In the moment, those notes make perfect sense.
But a day or a week later, the context is gone.
You might see something like “follow up on this tomorrow” or “check API permissions” and realize you no longer remember what page, task, or conversation it came from.
The problem usually isn’t that we aren’t taking notes.
It’s that the notes get scattered across tools and lose the context that made them useful in the first place.
Context Notes was built to solve that problem by letting you attach notes directly to the page where the work happened.
So when you return later, the context is still there.

How it works
Keep notes close to the work
Context Notes starts as a quick capture tool, then turns those notes into reminders, tasks, and session history without flattening everything into one generic inbox.
Keyboard shortcuts
Move faster once the habit sticks
Features
Small, useful building blocks
Privacy and security
Local first, with optional sync beta
Permissions
Why the extension needs browser access
Context Notes is intentionally page-aware, so the extension asks for a few permissions to make that workflow work consistently.
Get started
Try Context Notes in the browser, on desktop, or both
Start local, then add sync beta later if you want the extension and desktop app to stay in step.
