Pricing and Value

The extension is available for free. Given its focus on practical organization-folders, search, reordering, and device sync-it delivers clear value for users who maintain many notebooks and want a simple, privacy-conscious way to keep them sorted. Local storage and a statement of no external tracking add to its appeal for users concerned about data handling.

Pros
