The application requires you to sign up using your email address and seems a bit complicated at first, but it's quite handy after you get used to it. While not exactly a note-taking tool, Coggle is an app that lets you create mind maps, and those are great for writers and people working on complicated projects. Lastly, this add-on lets you share your notes via email.

Unlike the previous two extensions, Google Keep also works on mobile devices, so you will be able to sync your notes with your iPhones, iPads or Android-powered smartphones and tablets. Additional features include the ability to color your notes differently, so that you can come up with a color code for priority, and the possibility to add images to your notes. This tool has a pretty slick design and lets you take notes, set reminders or make check-lists. Google Keep isn't exactly a Chrome extension, but a real Chrome app. Although it offers a few more text formatting options than the previous add-on, I prefer using Sticky Notes, since it doesn't make me constantly switch between tabs when I want to take notes from the webpage I'm visiting. Moreover, in case your eyes get tired, the extension allows you to switch to a black background with white writing instead of the traditional black text on a white (greyish) background.

This tool is pretty bare-bones, as everything that you jot down will basically be one long note. But if you don't need any fancy features such as note-syncing or note-sharing, then you might want to check it out. To be perfectly honest, this add-on isn't very pleasing visually, but if you need a quick solution for jotting down some thoughts, it's a solid option.Īnother extension that tries to be as simple as possible, Papier, lets you take notes by opening a new tab. Furthermore, although you can select the desired font type size, the setting will be universal, so you can't change specific fragments of your notes. As far as formatting goes, you don't have too many options: you are only allowed to choose between four sizes of the sticky notes and six available colors. This extension adds a button right next to your address bar, allowing you to easily call it up whenever you want to quickly write something. Let's start things out with Sticky Notes, a simple tool that will cater to all your basic note-taking needs.
