Temporary Note is a browser extension that converts a tab into a notepad for quick note-taking. Users can open the extension to jot down thoughts, lists, or reminders directly in their browser without switching applications. The tool is designed for anyone who needs a fast, accessible place to capture ideas while browsing. Notes persist within the tab and can be cleared as needed, making it useful for temporary storage during work sessions.

Hey! I made Heynote entirely for my own use case.
