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

What is Private Notes?
Private Notes is a Chrome extension that provides a safe and encrypted platform for storing sensitive data. It uses advanced PBKDF2 hashing for passwords, ensuring high-grade security. The notes are stored using browser-integrated 'Chrome Sync' engine and not on cloud servers, making it one of the safest places for storing secret information. It supports advanced text editing, code highlighting, compression of notes and features like auto-locking. It also ensures privacy by not storing any unlocked notes or decryption keys.

Summary

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

Hands down the #1 ٭BEST٭ note-taking extension for Chrome. The only extension I use more than this one is 'Clipboard History Pro'. Dark Theme, Customization, Unlimited Notes, and the UI is just perfect. It has [almost] everything you could ask for. It only has 3 fonts to choose from, but it still gets ★★★★★!!

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!
