Backnote is a Chrome extension developed by Dmitry Polevoy that offers a fast and easy way to improve productivity by saving text snippets. With Backnote, you can quickly call a tab on hotkeys and copy/paste text with just a simple cursor movement.

This minimalistic add-on is designed to be easy-to-use, with quick mouse movements replacing the need for window switching with hotkeys and clicks. It serves as a light and simple substitution for a notepad in your browser, allowing you to make notes on the fly by highlighting text and releasing the mouse button to copy it to a Backnote window.

To use Backnote, simply activate the extension and ensure that the icon in the top right corner of your browser is light green. Then, open the Backnote window using the CTRL+SHIFT+V hotkeys. Highlight any text with your mouse and release the button to copy it to the Backnote window. When you're done, click 'Save' to download the note with an optional name or use the default name, 'backnote.txt'.

Backnote is a free extension that does not contain any ads. It offers a convenient way to save and organize text snippets, making it a valuable tool for anyone looking to boost their productivity.
