What is New Tab Draft?

New Tab Draft is a convenient Chrome extension that transforms your new tabs into a note taking and calculating tool.

It features direct calculation, font and background customization, auto-local backup, and privacy protection with all data saved in the local storage of your browser, not on the cloud. Extra features include quick post to Twitter, email sending, emoji options, daily inspiration, and spell check. New Tab Draft is the perfect tool for jotting down thoughts, to-do lists, or inspirations, anytime and anywhere.

I love this extension, it does exactly what I want but now that I have two computers it's much less useful to me as I can't find a way to sync this across my devices. If this could just read/write to a Google Drive file, this would be very helpful. (I'm willing to pay for this, I don't expect work like this to be completely free)

Love it :) It would be cool if there were a few different ways to backup notes. The current way is nice bc its private but a bit awkward w/ the save dialog popping up. Maybe connect to something like gdrive? Or even a very cheap / secure seamless paid option? Not sure.
