Questions about Floating Notes
How do I add sticky notes in Chrome?
Install Floating Notes from the Chrome Web Store, open a regular web page and click the extension icon. Start typing – your text saves automatically. Choose Page to keep the note at one address or Site to use it across that website.
Is Floating Notes free?
Yes. Free includes page notes, site notes, floating windows, checklists, stacks and search, with no account needed for local notes. Pro adds Google Drive sync, custom URL rules and the other features listed in the plan comparison.
How long can a note be?
Free supports up to 5,000 characters per note. Pro supports up to 100,000 – 20 times more. Long notes work locally; connecting Google Drive is optional. If Pro ends, your long notes remain readable and exportable. You can shorten or edit them without increasing their length.
Can I use floating notes on Mac and Windows?
Yes, Floating Notes works inside desktop Chrome on Mac and Windows. Install the Chrome extension on your computer and open a note from the browser.
Can I keep a note always on top of other windows?
Yes. Open the note in floating-window mode to keep it above other apps. Chrome must stay open, including when you switch to another app.
Are these online sticky notes? Do they work offline?
Floating Notes is an extension you install in Chrome. It adds notes to websites and saves them locally in your browser. You can read and edit saved notes offline; loading a website may still require an internet connection. Optional Pro sync uses Google Drive when you are connected.
Where can I put notes on a website?
Use Page for one address or Site for the whole website. Pro custom rules can match a set of page addresses. Notes work where Chrome allows extensions to run; internal browser pages and the Chrome Web Store have restrictions.
Can I search all my notes?
Yes. Search by note text, website or page address. Browse the results by site and edit the selected note in the same view.
Will my text survive closing a tab?
Notes save locally in your browser. Closing a tab does not delete the note. Removing the extension can remove its local data, so make a backup before reinstalling.
Can I use it as an online notepad?
Yes. Write in the stack on this page without installing anything. Its drafts stay in this browser on this site, separate from extension notes. Add the Chrome extension for notes on other pages and websites, shortcuts and search.
Do you see my notes? Are there ads?
Local notes stay in Chrome on this device. If you enable optional Pro sync, synced notes are also stored in your own Google Drive. Floating Notes servers do not store note content during normal sync. There are no ads.
