Choose between current-tab, exact URL, domain, and global notes depending on how long the context should survive.
Floating Notes alternative
Use TabNotes when floating notes should keep context, not only stay visible.
Some floating-note tools are good at quick capture but weak at recall. TabNotes keeps the visual immediacy of a floating sticky note while adding URL/domain persistence, source anchors, reminders, exports, and dashboard workflows.
Key difference: visibility is not enough. A useful browser note also needs durable retrieval, organization, and source-linked context.
Why switch
Floating-note UX is only the front door.
Attach notes to selected text or page elements so the note can point back to exact evidence later.
Keep the floating note surface calm while using the side panel and dashboard for the heavier organization flows.
Local-first storage, optional sync, optional AI providers, and clear export behavior keep the trust model simple.
