In-depth safety analysis
This extension requests only two API permissions: storage and notifications. Storage lets it save your notes locally within the browser, while notifications allows it to show reminders or alerts. For a basic notepad tool in the general browser extension category, this permission set is minimal and exactly what you would expect—it does not ask for broad access like reading all website content or browsing history.
General-purpose productivity extensions like notepads are typically low-risk, but careful users should still consider who built the tool. The publisher identity here shows a less established footprint, which can be a consideration if you plan to store sensitive personal notes. Always be mindful that locally stored data is only as secure as your device and browser profile.
The strongest dimension in the safety assessment is Permissions & Access, reflecting the limited and appropriate scope of what this extension can technically do. The weakest is Maintenance & Ownership, which may indicate less publicly available information about the developer or infrequent updates, something to keep in mind for long-term reliability and security patching.
AI-assisted analysis of the documented signals above (permissions, store data, privacy practices) — explains what they mean and the risks typical for this category. Not a hands-on test.

- Publisher ext-builder
Public records identify the publisher, but no individual founders or a separate registered company are named — which is what holds the Publisher & Identity score back. Less public information about who operates an extension means less you can verify about their long-term accountability.
