NODUS Workspace turns your browser's side panel into a small, private office that sits right beside whatever you're reading. It's not just storage: you get a real document editor (headings, formatting, tables, images), a spreadsheet with formulas and totals, and a built-in PDF reader, so you can write, calculate and read without leaving the tab you're on. Around them, one place to keep your web clips, your notes and checklists, and all your files in folders. Everything is created and saved on your device: no cloud, no account, and it works offline.

A real workspace, not just storage.

Create. Read. Calculate. Clip. Organize. Without changing tabs.

Capture

Grab anything from the web and keep it, with a link back to where it came from.

Clip the web — text or image

Select text or an image on any page and send it to Workspace. Each clip keeps the link back to its source, so it's ready to drop into a document or a note later.

Text clipsImage clipsSource link keptReuse in docs & notes
Organize

One private place for your notes, files and PDFs, sorted the way you want.

Notes that tie it together

Quick notes with checklists, right beside what you're reading. Pin a note to any item — a doc, sheet, PDF or clip — and grab the current page's link with a right-click.

ChecklistsPin to any itemRight-click page linkReminders (bell)PRO · Alarms (instant)

All your files, one place

Drag PDF, DOCX, XLSX, TXT, Markdown and images straight in — from any screen, not just the home view. Sort into folders, filter by type, and select many at once.

Drag-in from anywhereFoldersFilter by typePRO · Batch select/delete/download

Honest import: DOCX comes in as text and XLSX as values — better to open it without formatting than not at all.

Read PDFs in the panel

Open and page through PDFs without leaving your tab, and find anything with Ctrl+F.

Real editors for documents, spreadsheets and drawings, right inside the panel.

Real documents

A full editor inside the panel — headings, bold, italic, underline, lists, colors, tables and images. It autosaves as you type, you can rename inline, and print or Save as PDF.

Spreadsheets

Cells, formulas and totals with autosave — right where you work. Export to XLSX when you need it elsewhere.

Draw & annotate

Pen, highlighter, arrows, rectangles and text on a canvas, with a selection tool to move or erase objects. Crop, rotate, mirror, and undo/redo — then export or turn it into a PDF.

One tab. A whole day of work.

You never leave the page you're on — the workspace moves with you.

1Reading an article — clip the parts that matter, with a link back to the source.
2Open a document in the panel and start writing, right beside the page.
3Jot notes and a checklist, pinned to what you're working on.
4Drop in a PDF, read it and search it without opening a new tab.
5Crunch numbers in a spreadsheet — formulas, totals, done.
6Sketch an idea on the drawing canvas when words aren't enough.

Everything stays together — on your device. At the end of the day, everything is already organized.

The workspace never leaves the page you're working on.

Workspace rides in your browser's side panel, right next to whatever you're reading. Need space? Open any document, sheet, PDF or drawing full-screen in its own tab — then snap it back. Same files, two views, your call.

Questions, answered.

Are my files stored in the cloud?

No. Everything you create or import — documents, spreadsheets, PDFs, clips, notes and drawings — is stored locally on your device, in your browser. Nothing is uploaded to us or anyone else.

Where exactly is my data kept?

In your browser's own local storage, on your device — the same place your browser keeps site data. Nothing is sent to a NODUS server, which makes Workspace a local-first alternative to cloud office tools: your files are always with you and work offline.

Do I need an account to use it?

No. Workspace works with no sign-up and no login. You only enter an email if you choose to activate NODUS PRO.

Does it work offline?

Yes. Because it's local-first, you can create, edit and read your files with no internet connection.

What happens if I switch computers or reinstall the browser?

Your data lives only on that device, so moving it is up to you: use the encrypted Backup & Restore (a PRO feature) to export everything to a file and bring it back on another machine. Without a backup, local data stays on that browser only.

Which files can I bring in?

Drag and drop PDF, DOCX, XLSX, TXT, images and Markdown straight into the panel. The rule is simple: bringing content in is always free.

Can I edit Word and Excel files?

You can open them — DOCX comes in as plain text and XLSX as values (formatting and formulas are simplified). Better to open without formatting than not at all. Exporting back to DOCX/XLSX (and images) is a PRO feature.

What's free and what's PRO?

Free: creating and editing documents and spreadsheets, reading/searching/printing PDFs, web clips, notes, reminders, file import, and 16 languages. PRO adds export (DOCX, XLSX, PNG), PDF-to-image, encrypted backup, active alarms with notifications, and batch actions.

How much does PRO cost?

$4.50/month, $30/year (≈ $2.50/mo) or $79 one-time (lifetime). Checkout is handled securely by Paddle, with a 7-day free trial on the annual plan and a 14-day money-back guarantee.

One subscription for everything?

Yes — a single NODUS PRO subscription unlocks PRO across the whole NODUS ecosystem: NODUS AI, PH Radar and Workspace.

Can I print or save my work as a PDF?

Yes. Documents and spreadsheets can be printed or turned into a PDF — both free — and the PDF opens right in the built-in viewer.

Is it secure? What does "no remote code" mean?

All of the extension's code ships inside the package — nothing is downloaded and run from a server. Your backups are encrypted with AES-256, and we never read, transmit or analyze the content of your files.

Which browsers does it support?

Chrome, Firefox and Chromium-based browsers (Edge, Brave and others). It lives in the browser's side panel, alongside whatever you're working on.

How do I get help or report a problem?

Email us at mmcarvalho.dev@gmail.com — we read every message.

Where can I get it?

NODUS Workspace is available now on the Chrome Web Store and Firefox Add-ons.

Your browser is where work already happens.
