What is Private Notes?
Private Notes is a powerful and secure Edge add-on that offers a safe and fully encrypted place for storing sensitive information. It ensures privacy and permissions by not making any remote requests or storing data on its own cloud servers. Your password is hashed using advanced PBKDF2 function with strong salt, and unlocked notes and decryption keys are never stored. With features like encrypted notes, automatic backups, and advanced text editor, Private Notes is the safest place ever created for storing top-secret information.

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 "Edge 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 "Edge Sync" holds a backup)
  • No need to create additional account - Edge Sync will handle synchronization: https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/165139
  • Advanced Text Editor - supports many advanced text features

Love this note app! I have it in both my browsers, Firefox and Edge. It's clean and simple, with a perfect set of rich text enhancements to keep your writings well defined. Once you first set your password, the security, note storage, and auto backups take care of themselves. Honestly, at first, I chose this one because it had just the right combo of rich text features and convenience that I was looking for, but I have to say, it's been really great knowing anything I write is for my eyes only.
