Keep notes, todos, and reusable code snippets in a small VS Code sidebar—without leaving your current workspace.
Features
Markdown notes — Write Markdown-compatible notes in the built-in editor. Changes are saved automatically to the current VS Code profile.
Checklist todos — Keep tasks alongside your notes. Press Ctrl+Alt+Enter (Cmd+Option+Enter on macOS) to insert an unchecked item above the current block.
Code snippets — Create, edit, search, copy, and delete reusable snippets with a title and VS Code language ID.
Native editor integration — Open a snippet directly in the VS Code editor when you need the full editing experience.
Profile-scoped storage — Each VS Code profile has its own notes and snippets; nothing is written to your project folder.
Theme support — Follows VS Code light, dark, and high-contrast themes.
