Review by rickenbacker

I'm kinda impressed (after only 1h of usage :D), that might be best substitute so far, for recently disabled Firefox Notes, which I've really enjoyed using. Synchronisation between browsers works nice. Not sure why it has so low number of users. Keep up good work!

Update:
After a year, I'm still impressed, addon is wonderful!

Also I've found a minor bug, somehow one of my notes got locked (maybe I've clicked something by mistake), and I couldn't unlock it (all of my notes are unlocked without password), so finally I've imported one of older backups, when it was unlocked, but after few hours it got locked again and surprisingly now I have two locked notes (it has copied itself somehow, probably after import). Anyway, it would be nice to have possibility to delete separate notes, even they are locked (those two locked notes irritates me).

    I like how it works and looks, except it is missing: 1) search in notes and 2) categorizing notes into expandable (sub)folders + being able to move items between these.

    Awesome add-on.
    Works flawlessly

    Pros:
    auto backups, rich text editor,
    compression and encryption. The firefox-sync feature is really smart and lets the user sync his notes across devices without the need of other cloud service.

    Cons: None

    Suggestions for more features:
    1. Ability to create folders
    2. Ability to autosave backups in custom locations
    3. Search in notes

    Thank you for the feedback!
    I'm putting these suggestions on my todo list.
    I'm a bit busy currently with my other extension but when I get back to this one, I'll try to implement the 1. and 3. (sadly the autosave to custom drive locations is not possible since addons doesn't have access to user drive).

    Have a nice weekend :)

    Jurai Messiar, a cool addition that deserves 5 stars!!! I can even change the password, version 4.2 I really liked it!

    Fantastic addon

    This has a lot of potential. I would only want to add the option to create separate folders for notes.

    This is a great app. Unless you're the type of person whose password is "Password1", this is a super secure app and really easy to use, I use this extension on both Firefox and Chrome.

    There is no "Find" or 'Replace' function

    Hello,
    Like search in all notes? That could be useful, I will put it on my todo list.
    The replace is way to complicated to implement, I'm not sure I can do that.
    The main feature of this addon is security (the E2E encryption and data backups), that's why I've build it, so text editing was not exactly a priority. That's why the limited features...

    My most useful add-on. Looking exactly for this and finally found it. Notes managing is so easy and UI, Text editor, Backup, Import/Export all that makes notes taking handy and useful. Recommended to everyone for daily use.

    Well there is an issue with you add-on: I've installed it but i lost my password but it doesn't matter because there were nothing in my personal notes..So i deleted it and re-installed again to type a new password but i was suprised when Private Notes required me my lost password and yet I had removed the extension. :))loll so what's the problem ?? :) ..I can't re-install again this add-on cause ask me again and again my lost password..Seems weird :) Tks for answering ..

    Hello,
    Yeah, this was pointed out just recently to me.
    I will add some reset button that will clear everything because yes, reinstalling won't reset data, those are stored in Firefox Sync engine.
    But there is a workaround:
    1) open popup
    2) right click anywhere and select "This frame" / "Open frame in new tab"
    3) go to that tab and press "Ctrl + Shift K" (this will open console window)
    4) write there:
    browser.storage.sync.clear()
    5) and press Enter
    That will reset all data including old password.

    I will try to release an upgrade before the holiday that will add a proper reset button.

    Great addon!
    I suggest you make creating a new note automatically take you to the new note without asking for a name, and the note title can appear in a field at the top to allow edit the name.

    Hello,
    Thanks for the feedback!
    You are right, the note creation should be easier and the modal window for naming is not good.
    I've created issue for it here:
    https://github.com/fastaddons/PrivateNotes/issues/9
    I will try to look at this for the next release 3.2 but I'm not sure when exactly, there is a few important things I need to implement for my other addons and there is a holiday coming soon...
    Have a nice rest of the weekend :)
    Best regards,
