Leave a note on any page.

Annotiv is a calm side panel that remembers which page each note belongs to. Write, carry on, and find it when you come back.

Free for 50 notes. No account.

Greenhouse Weekly

Raised beds for a small yard

A bed four feet wide is the most you can tend from either side without stepping on the soil. Start with two, and add more once you know how much weeding you will actually do.

Fill them in autumn and let the winter settle the soil. Plant in spring, after the last frost has passed.

Frost dates vary by region, so check your local almanac before you sow.

Try the tabs. The panel borrows a soft tint from each site's icon, and nothing else about the page is read.

The page is the folder.

Open the panel and write. The note belongs to the page you are on, so there is nothing to name, file or tag. Choose how far it reaches with one click.

This page

One note for one exact page. The default, and often all you need.

Whole site

A note that shows on every page of a site, for things that are true everywhere there.

Path rule Pro

Follow everything under a path, like every page in /docs/.

Links change. Notes stay.

Shared links gain tracking parameters and #sections. Annotiv ignores them, so a note is still there when you arrive by a different route.

A number on the toolbar icon tells you a note is waiting, before you even open the panel.

Markdown, lightly.

Headings, lists, links and code, with a live preview. Tick a box right in the preview and the note updates. It saves as you type, and a deleted note can be undone for a few seconds.

Find anything you ever wrote.

Search reads every word of every note, the moment you type. Pro adds tags, site filters, and one list of every open to-do across all your notes.

Press / in All notes to jump straight to search.

Each site gets its own quiet room.

Generous space, soft type, and a gentle tint borrowed from the page beside it. It follows your light or dark setting, holds still if you ask for less motion, and reads left to right or right to left.

Private by design

No account.

No server.

No tracking.

Your notes live in your browser and sync through your own browser account. Annotiv reads only the address, title and icon of the tab you are on, to find the right notes. It never reads what is on your pages. Read the short privacy policy.

Questions

What is Annotiv?

Annotiv is a free browser extension for Chrome and Firefox that lets you leave a note on any web page and shows it again when you return. Notes live in a side panel beside the page, and there is nothing to file.

How is Annotiv different from a bookmark or a notes app?

A bookmark saves a link. Annotiv saves what you thought about the page and attaches it to that page automatically, so it appears when you come back. A general notes app asks you to name and file each note; Annotiv files it by page for you.

Where are my notes stored?

In your browser's extension storage. If browser sync is on, your browser syncs them across your own devices through your own account. Very long notes, or notes beyond the sync space, stay on the device and are marked that way.

Does Annotiv work offline?

Yes. Notes are stored in your browser, so you can read and write them without a connection. Syncing between devices and Pro licence checks need a connection, and if a licence check cannot run, Pro stays on for up to 7 days.

What happens at 50 notes on Free?

You can keep reading, searching and editing every note you have. Creating note 51 asks you to try Pro. Nothing is locked or deleted.

How much does Pro cost?

Pro is about $3 a month or $24 a year, with a free 7-day trial. It adds unlimited notes, path rules, tags and filters, notes on PDF files, a list of every open to-do, and export and import of all notes.

Does Annotiv read the pages I visit?

No. It reads the address, title and icon of the active tab, only to find the right notes and choose a tint. It never reads page content.

Do I need an account?

No. There is no sign-up. Paid plans are handled by ExtensionPay and Stripe, and Annotiv never sees your card.

Is my data used for AI training, analytics or ads?

No. Annotiv has no analytics, no advertising, and no server that receives your notes, so there is nothing to sell or train on.

Which browsers does Annotiv work in?

Chrome 116 and later, using the side panel, and Firefox 128 and later, using the sidebar.

Can I get my notes out?

Yes. Export any single note as Markdown on Free. Pro exports everything as Markdown or a lossless JSON backup, and imports it again.

It takes a few seconds to install, and there is nothing to set up.
