Is Note Board - Sticky Notes App Safe? — Extension Safety Profile

The requested permissions allow the extension to store an unlimited amount of notes locally (unlimitedStorage, storage), add right-click menu items (contextMenus), access the current webpage when you activate it (activeTab), and inject scripts into pages to capture content (scripting). It can also schedule background tasks (alarms), use offscreen documents (offscreen), and read your display configuration (system.display). This scope is fairly typical for a sticky notes app that may clip page content, sync across windows, or offer context-menu shortcuts. However, activeTab and scripting do let it read and modify pages you choose to interact with, so it is important that such actions are triggered intentionally.

Productivity extensions that collect website content come with general safety considerations. Since this app declares it collects personally identifiable information, authentication info, and website content, a user should verify the developer’s privacy policy to understand how that data is handled. The developer states data is not sold or used for unrelated purposes, but any tool that can read page content warrants caution—ensure it is from a source you trust, and review which data is associated with your account if you sign in.

The extension’s highest score is in Maintenance & Ownership (100/100), indicating that it receives regular updates and has stable ownership—a strong sign of active, responsible development. Its weakest dimension is Publisher & Identity (60/100), which suggests that the publisher’s identity may not be as thoroughly verified or transparent as some users might prefer. While the extension has a large user base and high rating, this lower transparency metric means careful users might wish to examine the publisher’s website and background more closely before granting extensive permissions.
