Most notes and task apps have grown heavy. They sign you in, sync, ask for a workspace, show you what's new and pitch you an AI agent before you can write a word. Leaf just opens, straight to your notes and tasks, in a fraction of a second. Even with hundreds of them.

Let itNot nowUntitled
Leaf's time is from our own tests, opening it with 300 notes. The other lane is based on our tests with other mainstream notes and task apps.
Keep Leaf open in Chrome's side panel, next to any tab, ready for the next thought.
When a thought needs room, give Leaf its own tab: your list on one side, your note on the other.
Go full screen and the Grid lays your notes and tasks out as cards. Drag them into place, or press Ctrl K to find one.
Leaf sets up your board for you, with To Do, In Progress and Done to start. Each label is a column, so moving a task along is one drag.
Labels are yours to rename and recolour, and any note can carry a checklist that ticks off as you go.
Your Tree
Every note and task is a leaf, coloured by its label. Each workspace starts as a seedling and grows with every note you write, so no two trees grow alike. Try it.
Oak grows free for everyone. Bonsai, Willow, Maple, Pine and Blossom come with Leaf Pro.
With Leaf Pro, Leaf comes along on your phone. Add it to your home screen and it opens like any other app, full screen and even offline, with every note and task from your computer already there.
Leaf is made with care. Since 2017 it has kept one promise: a note or a task takes seconds to write and is easy to find again. Everything else politely stays out of the way.
On a plane or a bad connection, Leaf opens and saves just the same.
Open it and write. That's the whole onboarding.
Close Leaf mid thought and your words are waiting next time.
Download all your notes in one file from Settings, whenever you like.
Nothing on the page competes with your work.
The 2026 redesign moved in carefully. Every note stayed right where you left it.
A notepad holds the things you'd tell no one else. Plenty of apps now treat that as training data. Leaf never will.
Read the privacy policyYour notes are saved on your computer and never uploaded. Sync is there on Leaf Pro, only if you turn it on, and encrypted at rest.
No chatbot in the corner, no sparkle buttons, no offers to rewrite you. Just a quiet page and your own words.
Your notes will never train an AI model, ours or anyone else's. It's written into our privacy policy, not buried in it.

I've been using Leaf Notes for a while now and I can't get through a day without it! When I have to constantly take and refer to notes, I don't want to have to search, open files, switch tabs… That's why I LOVE it so much.
been using it since forever, so fast, so easy
This is great as a simple scratch pad like you would have on your desk or next to your computer… sometimes i just brain dump in it and figure out how to move forward.
Perfect, exactly what I needed. No sign in process. Everything at a glance. Handy search bar. Quick editing.
this was soo helpful! i love that i can just tap the extension and see all of my to do's or notes for the day! DEF A 5 STAR!
Exactly what I was looking for; a quick and simple way to keep track of the many thoughts that rush through my brain throughout the day, great for writing down literally anything!
Great extension. This lets me record my daily work noted in here and even I put my future plans here and track it at the the start of my working day.
I have a pretty bad memory sometimes, and I find myself constantly writing stuff down, so this really helped.
wanted something to keep track of what episode we were up to on tv programmes. Leaf fits the bill perfectly…
It's perfect! I can have my most important notes organized and make new notes when I want
Such an amazing, simple and easy extension to use! I was in need of a good note pad for keeping my thoughts and tasks in, and then I stumbled across Leaf.
Easy and simple note extension. Exactly what I needed. Thank you.

Right on your computer, inside Chrome. Leaf is offline first, so it works without a connection. On the free plan your notes are never uploaded. Cloud storage is optional: turn on sync with Leaf Pro and an encrypted copy is kept on our servers too.
No. There's no AI built into Leaf, and your notes are never used to train AI models, ours or anyone else's. If Leaf ever adds an AI feature, it will run on your computer, and anything that would send your notes elsewhere stays off unless you turn it on.
Yes. Any note can be a task, and any note can hold a checklist. Leaf sets you up with To Do, In Progress and Done, and the Board shows them as columns you drag tasks across. The free plan has 3 labels per workspace; Leaf Pro has as many as you like.
No. Open it and start writing.
Of course. Open Settings, choose Export notes, and all your notes download in one file, every workspace included.
