  description

  A rich-text notepad designed for content writers, marketers, and anyone who keeps multiple drafts and reusable snippets in motion at the same time.
  
  MULTI-NOTE LIBRARY
  
  Create as many notes as you want. Each note auto-saves as you type. Search by title or content. Switch between notes from a sidebar. No "save" button — everything persists.
  
  SNIPPET LIBRARY
  
  Save reusable text, code, shortcodes, or HTML blocks as named snippets. Each snippet has a title, an optional abbreviation, and a content type (WP Shortcode, HTML, CSS, JS, PHP, or plain text). One-click copy to clipboard.
  
  /ABBREVIATION TEXT EXPANSION
  
  This is the killer feature for repetitive content work. Save a snippet with the abbreviation "cf7" containing your Contact Form 7 shortcode. Then in any note, type /cf7 and it auto-expands to the full shortcode. Works for any abbreviation: /cta, /sig, /meta-tags, /pricing, etc.
  
  COMMON USES
  
  - Meta description templates (so you don't rewrite the same intro every post)
  - WordPress shortcodes (Elementor widgets, Contact Form 7, WPForms blocks)
  - CTA blocks (recurring sign-up boxes, affiliate disclaimers)
  - HTML snippets (schema markup, OG tags, structured data)
  - Boilerplate copy (about-us blurbs, author bios, footer text)
  - Frequently-used email replies
  - Code snippets you paste into clients' sites
  
  RICH-TEXT EDITOR
  
  - Bold, italic, underline, strikethrough
  - Bullet and numbered lists
  - Find and replace (Ctrl+Shift+R)
  - Focus mode (Ctrl+Shift+F) — distraction-free editor
  - File open/save (.txt, .html, .md)
  - Print
  - Special characters and emoji picker
  - Date/time insert
  - Font family and font size pickers
  
  KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS
  
  - Alt+N opens the popup from anywhere in Chrome
  - Standard editor shortcuts (Cmd/Ctrl + B/I/U/Z/Y)
  - Ctrl+S to save
  - Ctrl+Shift+S to download
  
  LIGHT + DARK THEME
  
  Sun/moon toggle in the sidebar. Auto-saves your preference. Default is light.
  
  PRIVACY
  
  Notes and snippets are stored locally in chrome.storage.local. Nothing is sent to any external server. No telemetry. Works fully offline.
  
  PERMISSIONS
  
  - storage — to save notes and snippets locally
  
  That's it. No host permissions. No <all_urls>. No tabs permission. The most minimal permission set possible for a feature-rich tool.
