The PeerNotes browser extension is currently available as a pre-release build. It has not yet been published to the Chrome Web Store, so you will install it manually by loading the unpacked extension through Chrome’s Developer mode. This takes less than a minute and requires no special permissions beyond enabling Developer mode in your browser.
This installation process is temporary. Once the PeerNotes extension is published to the Chrome Web Store, you will be able to install it in one click and receive automatic updates. Manual unpacked installs will no longer be necessary at that point.

​
Installation steps

1

Extract the ZIP file

Locate the downloaded PeerNotes ZIP file and extract it to a permanent folder on your computer. Avoid placing it in a temporary location — Chrome needs access to this folder every time you start the browser.
2

Open the Extensions page

Open Chrome and navigate to chrome://extensions/ in the address bar.
3

Enable Developer mode

In the top-right corner of the Extensions page, toggle on Developer mode.
4

Load the unpacked extension

Click Load unpacked. A file picker will open.
5

Select the extension folder

Navigate to and select the folder you extracted in step 1. Click Select Folder (or Open on macOS).
6

Confirm the installation

The PeerNotes extension will appear in your Extensions list. It is now installed and ready to use.

Tips

Pin the extension for quick access. Click the puzzle-piece icon in the Chrome toolbar, find PeerNotes in the list, and click the pin icon so it stays visible in your toolbar at all times.
Managing the extension. Return to chrome://extensions at any time to enable, disable, or remove the PeerNotes extension.
Updating to a newer version. Download the latest ZIP file, extract it to replace the existing folder, then go to chrome://extensions and click the reload icon on the PeerNotes card to apply the update.
