In-depth safety analysis
This extension asks for the “identity” permission to let you sign in with your Google account and for host access to https://www.googleapis.com/ — the normal way it talks to Google Drive. It also uses “storage” to save settings locally. That scope is exactly what you would expect from a note‑taking tool that syncs sticky notes to your own Drive. No broad all_urls or similar permissions are requested, so its browser‑level access stays minimal.
For any productivity extension that connects to your cloud storage, the key safety point is which OAuth scopes it actually asks for when you sign in. A careful user should look at the Google consent screen to make sure it only requests permission to manage files the app itself creates (often a drive.file scope), not full read‑write access to everything in your Drive. Because it does not request broader host permissions, the extension cannot directly read other websites you visit.
The fact sheet shows a strong overall safety score. The Maintenance & Ownership dimension is perfect, reflecting that the extension was updated recently and appears well‑kept. The weakest point is Publisher & Identity, which signals limited transparency about the developer. Before going through the sign‑in flow, you may want to confirm the publisher offers a clear privacy policy and reliable contact information.
