What is noted?

noted is a Chrome side panel note-taking extension. It keeps notes next to the page you are reading, supports Markdown, tags, search, and optional bring-your-own-key AI assistance.

Who it is for

  • Students taking notes next to lectures, docs, or articles.
  • Researchers capturing observations while reading source material.
  • Knowledge workers who want quick notes without a separate app switch.

Why it is different

Side panel capture: notes stay beside the current browser tab.
Local-first storage: notes live in Chrome storage by default.
Optional BYOK AI: AI features use the user's own API key instead of a hidden platform account.

Key facts

  • Runs as a Chrome side panel extension.
  • Supports Markdown, tags, full-text search, autosave, export, and AI chat.
  • Designed to reduce context switching during reading and research.
