Fast Note

Super fast note storage

Fast Note is a Chrome extension designed for ultra-fast note-taking directly in your browser. It opens quicker than any other note extensions, allowing you to write notes immediately without delay. Notes are saved automatically, so there's no need to worry about manually saving or deleting your entries.

User reviews

Users praise Fast Note for its simplicity, ease of use, low resource consumption, and local note storage without syncing or permissions. The extension automatically expands the note space as needed, facilitating quick jotting down of ideas. However, multiple reviews highlight missing features such as font customization, export options for backup, and advanced tools like search or sorting. Some report issues with scrolling during long notes and wish for a global shortcut to access the extension faster. Overall, it's favored for minimalism but lacks some functional enhancements.

Extension safety

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Fast Note does not require any sensitive permissions.

Risk impact analysis details
    Risk likelihood
    Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Chrome extension may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been around, and other signals about the Chrome extension. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Chrome extension.

    Fast Note has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
