Inside MynotesOne private searchable library
Free captures the web. Pro brings the rest of your work with it.
Use Mynotes Free for webpage research as long as you like. Choose Pro when you want your own notes, files, images, PDFs, and cross-device library in the same place.
Turn PDFs into working notes.
Save online PDFs, highlight passages, add annotations, and keep the results with the personal note that owns the file.
Keep files with the ideas they support.
Attach images, PDFs, and other files to personal notes, or collect an image directly from a webpage.
Move between computers on your terms.
Optionally sync the complete library through your own Google Drive private app-data folder on Chrome for Mac, Linux, and Windows.
See how context stays attached.
Mynotes keeps the source, your interpretation, and the supporting material together from the moment you capture an idea.
-
Capture in context
Highlight a passage or add a standalone page note without leaving what you are reading.
-
Build a complete library
Add personal notes and supporting files, then search and tag the webpages and notes you want to revisit.
-
Keep it under your control
Store the library locally, export a complete backup, recover deleted work from Trash, or privately sync through Google Drive.
Screenshots show the real Mynotes interface with example content created for this demonstration.
For work that needs more than a bookmarks bar.
Mynotes is designed for knowledge you expect to use again—not just links you might never reopen.
Keep evidence and interpretation together.
Connect source passages, PDF annotations, your own notes, and reading files without losing where an idea came from.
Build a reference library around the work.
Save webpages, images, documents, and conclusions in one searchable place instead of scattering them across tabs and folders.
Keep a library you can back up and move.
Create a complete Mynotes backup with original attachments, or use optional private Google Drive sync across computers.
Switch without starting over
