Features & Capabilities

Private Notes is a Chrome extension providing a safe, fully encrypted environment for your most sensitive information such as recovery codes, Wi-Fi passwords, and server configurations. Your notes are password-protected, encrypted with advanced PBKDF2 hashing, and synchronized securely via Firefox's end-to-end encrypted Sync engine, ensuring double encryption and privacy.

Top features include automatic data compression, code highlighting for various languages, no additional account setup (uses Firefox Sync), auto-lock for idle security, and encrypted backups local and on the Firefox cloud. This extension requires no special permissions, stores passwords only in hashed form, and keeps unlocked notes only in RAM for maximum safety. While Firefox Sync limits note sizes and sync speed, built-in compression maximizes storage efficiency.

Support the independent developer to maintain ad-free, secure note keeping with Private Notes, your trustworthy encrypted note vault across devices.

User Reviews

The program is good, but it annoys me because the window is small and it closes quickly. It would be great if it was like a sidebar that doesn't close until I close it 👍If it is opened via ALT+L, then it has a sidebar, but it is always covered by options, so I need to open it without needing to waste time

Like the others, this was not all i wanted; esp it didn't work with my language tool add-on, the way this text box doesn't. only possibility now is build a web page sporting a text box and a save button, the latter is gonna be the problem. Otherwise, it seems to be a very good app.

Is Private Notes Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Private Notes does not require any sensitive permissions.

Risk impact analysis details

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Private Notes has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
