The notes extension that cannot read your browsing
My Canned Notes asks for exactly one permission: local storage. It has no access to the pages you visit, your tabs, or your history — not limited access, none at all. It never requested it, so it cannot have it.
That constraint is the product. Open the extension, find your snippet, copy it. Your notes stay on your machine, there is no account to create, and nothing is sent anywhere. It is free, and there is no paid tier to upgrade to.
How this differs from Canny Notes. Canny Notes is our other extension, built for a different job: it works inside the text box you are typing in, adds AI rewriting, highlights and sticky notes, and syncs across your devices. Inserting text into any page is impossible without broad page permissions, so that one asks for them. Pick whichever matches how you work — they are for different people.

every note as a .json file, and Canny Notes imports that same file.
Nothing is deleted here, so you can keep both installed while you decide.
Rich Notes.
Zero Server Required.
Tired of juggling sticky notes and text files? My Canned Notes is a beautifully redesigned extension to keep your snippets effortless, organized, and exclusively saved to your local machine.
