Managing Extensions & API Keys

The Extensions settings pane: loaded extensions, the community browser, API keys, and custom aliases.

Everything about extensions lives in Settings > Extensions. The Enable extensions master toggle at the top turns the whole system on or off.

Loaded Extensions

The Loaded Extensions list shows every extension currently installed. Click an extension to see:

  • Its version, author, and category
  • Badges: Network Extension, Local Extension, or Service
  • Dependencies, with each one marked installed or missing
  • Its Data Access declaration: No note content, Current line only, or Full note content
  • The API endpoints it declares and any API keys it requires
  • The commands it provides
  • Per-extension settings, with a Reset to Defaults button
  • A Danger Zone with Remove Extension

Browsing community extensions

The Browse community extensions button opens the Extension Manager. It lists Updates Available and Available Extensions with search; each entry shows its version, size, Network / Requires API Key badges, and the commands it adds. Use the Add, Update, and Refresh buttons to manage your collection.

Security: The extension catalog manifest is fetched from GitHub and verified with an Ed25519 signature against a key built into the app, and every downloaded extension is checked against a SHA-256 hash before it's extracted. Browsing requires Settings > Privacy > "Check GitHub for extension updates" to be on.

API Keys

The API Keys section manages the credentials that network extensions use. Each key has:

  • A friendly name you choose
  • A Keychain key, e.g. apikey_openai
  • An allow-list of which extensions may read it

Key values are stored in the macOS Keychain — never in preferences. Extensions can only use keys once Settings > Privacy > "Let extensions call their own APIs" is enabled.

Custom aliases

You can add your own aliases to any command from the command's detail view. Aliases are matched by Autocomplete just like command names, so a long command can be as short as you like.

Pro tip: Before adding an extension, check its Data Access declaration — extensions that declare No note content never see what you write.
