WebStickies alternative

If you need more than simple page stickies, TabNotes is the deeper WebStickies alternative.

A basic sticky-note extension can be enough for quick thoughts. TabNotes is for the moment when those notes need to persist across revisits, connect to source context, and become manageable later through search, reminders, exports, and dashboard workflows.

See plans Core feature page

TabNotes focus: contextual memory for serious browser work, not only lightweight page annotations.
