Notes Stack for Content Creators & Bloggers
Great content starts with great research — and research happens in the browser. Notes Stack lives in your side panel so you can capture ideas, save reference links, and outline posts the moment inspiration strikes, without breaking your flow.
Why Creators Choose Notes Stack
The gap between finding an idea and writing it down is where most content dies. Notes Stack closes that gap by keeping your notebook right next to the content you consume.
- Capture ideas while browsing — Reading an article that sparks a blog post idea? Open the side panel and jot it down immediately. The note attaches to the URL so you can trace your inspiration back to the source.
- Rich text for outlines and drafts — Use headings for sections, bold for key points, and task lists for editorial checklists. Start your rough draft right in the side panel before moving to your CMS.
- Stacks for content pillars — Organize notes into stacks like "SEO Guides", "Product Reviews", "Tutorials", and "Opinion Pieces". Filter by stack to focus on one content category at a time.
- Reminders for publishing deadlines — Set reminders for draft deadlines, publishing dates, and social media promotion windows. Never miss your editorial calendar again.
Tips and Tricks
Create a stack for each content pillar or category you publish. When brainstorming, assign every idea to the right pillar immediately. This makes it easy to balance your content calendar across topics.
While browsing competitor blogs, open the side panel and note down headlines, formats, and angles that resonate with you. Attach them to the competitor's URL so you can revisit the original context later.
Create a reusable checklist for every post: research, outline, first draft, edit, SEO optimization, featured image, publish, promote. Check items off as you work through each step.
Use the domain filter to see only notes from medium.com or youtube.com. This gives you a focused view of all ideas and research tied to a specific platform.
Export a stack of content ideas to CSV, then import into Google Sheets to build a content calendar with publish dates, status columns, and assigned writers.

A Real-World Workflow

From spark to publish, Notes Stack keeps your entire creative workflow in one place — right where you browse.
