Starter templates

Updated Jul 21, 2026

Built-in starters for notes, sticky boards, and mind maps so you can begin with a useful layout instead of an empty canvas.

Start with a shape, not a void

Blank canvases slow people down. Browser Notes ships a curated set of starters — daily inbox and meeting notes for writing, weekly plan and sprint wall for sticky boards, essay outline and exam revision for mind maps.

Pick a template from the welcome screen. It creates a new local note, board, or map you can edit immediately. Nothing is uploaded; templates are packaged with the app.

Made for real capture moments

Templates mirror how people actually use Browser Notes: inbox dumps, workshop walls, study maps, and research clip logs. Combined with share links and the Chrome extension, a template can become the seed you pass to someone else as a snapshot.
