Notes & Slash Shortcuts Chrome Extension

What It Does

OneBuddy's Notes tool lets you create, organize, and access notes directly in the side panel. The Slash Shortcuts feature goes further — define custom shortcuts that expand into full text snippets in any text field on any website. Type a slash command and your template auto-completes instantly.

Why It's Better Than Standalone Extensions

TextExpander costs $3.33/month and requires a separate app. Browser-only notes extensions lack text expansion. OneBuddy combines both features for free, integrated with your clipboard, timer, and privacy tools.
