Project Memo

Manage lightweight, project-scoped memos inside VSCode — the kind of notes that are too informal for README.md but you still want to keep handy.

• Notes that don't belong in git
• Personal cheat sheets next to each project
• Meeting notes, debug steps, environment setup
• Everything kept in a single synced folder (Dropbox / iCloud Drive / Google Drive)

How it works

Open the Project Memo view from the Activity Bar. The sidebar shows two sections:

If the current workspace has no git remote origin, the project section is replaced with an info note — memos still work but get saved at the root of your memo folder.

Settings

Click the gear icon in the view title bar to open the settings panel.

Storage layout

{rootPath}/
├── scratch.md                 # loose root-level memo
├── {org}/
│   └── {repo}/

• Files are plain .md — readable / editable outside of VSCode
• Sync is delegated to the folder provider (Dropbox / iCloud Drive / etc.)

Features

• New memo — creates Untitled.md and opens it. Close without typing and the file is auto-deleted (nothing left behind)
• Rename / Delete / Copy absolute path — inline icons on hover, or right-click menu
• Markdown preview — toggle button on the editor title bar
• Per-machine sync — pick a folder inside a sync service; the extension does not implement its own sync layer

Requirements

• VSCode 1.90 or later

Known limitations

• Search across all memo contents is not implemented yet
• Only .md files are tracked
