Chrome sidebar note editor

A full note editor in your sidebar—write, organize, and export

Dockbox gives you a proper note editor right in Chrome. Capture ideas while you browse, keep them in folders, refine text with a built-in AI writing assistant, and move notes in or out as Markdown.

Dockbox note editor with folders in the Chrome sidebar

Built for note-taking while you browse

Most note apps pull you out of your flow. Dockbox keeps reading, writing, and organizing in the same place—the sidebar on whatever page you're on.

Capture without switching tabs

Open Dockbox on any page and jot down ideas, quotes, or research—your note editor stays in the Chrome sidebar while you keep browsing.

Folders to stay organized

Group notes into folders so projects, topics, and reading lists stay separate. Everything lives in one sidebar, not scattered across apps.

A real editor—not a plain text box

Format notes with headings, lists, and structure. Dockbox is built for writing you’ll come back to, not one-off snippets.

Built-in AI writing assistant

Edit and improve your notes with AI—without leaving the page

Select text in your note, ask AI to refine it, and accept changes with a diff preview. Writing stays in your workflow, not another tab.

How the writing assistant works

1

Select text in your note

Highlight a paragraph, section, or entire note in Dockbox's sidebar editor—right where you're already working.

2

Tell the writing assistant what to do

Pick a built-in action like improve, shorten, or translate—or type your own instruction or custom prompt.

3

Preview, then accept or reject

See a diff of AI edits before they land in your note. Keep what works, discard what doesn't.

Built for editing—not copy-pasting

Generic chat tools make you shuttle text back and forth. Dockbox keeps AI inside your note editor, where structure and formatting matter.

Copy-paste to ChatGPT

  • Switch tabs to paste your text
  • Copy the response back manually
  • Lose formatting and structure

Import and export Markdown

Dockbox isn't a walled garden. Move notes in and out as .md files when you need them elsewhere.

Export to Markdown

Download any note as a .md file when you need it in Obsidian, VS Code, GitHub, or anywhere else Markdown lives.

Import Markdown files

Bring existing .md notes into Dockbox so your library isn't locked to one tool—you can start from files you already have.

Your notes, your format

Write in Dockbox day to day, then export when a project needs to leave the browser. No copy-pasting into a separate converter.
