Noteli is a professional dock-able panel for Adobe Photoshop that gives digital artists and illustrators a seamless way to manage notes directly inside their creative workflow. Instead of juggling external apps, sticky notes, or scattered files, Noteli embeds your notes straight into your Photoshop documents using XMP metadata. This means your ideas, project details, and creative reminders always travel with your PSDs—no matter where they go.

Designed with creative professionals in mind, Noteli offers a clean, distraction-free interface that sits comfortably alongside Photoshop’s workspace. It supports rich text formatting, quick sectioning, and link management, making it easy to organize everything from quick sketches of thought to fully structured project briefs. Visual indicators keep you in sync at all times, while customizable themes let you work in a style that matches your environment, whether you prefer a sleek professional notepad or a casual sticky-note aesthetic.

With powerful document management at its core, Noteli automatically associates notes with each open Photoshop file, switching context instantly as you move between projects. Every document receives its own permanent identity key, ensuring your notes stay attached even if files are renamed, moved, or duplicated. For added flexibility, your notes can also be exported in RTF or PDF formats, giving you polished, shareable documents for clients, teams, or personal archives.

Noteli is built for creative professionals who value clarity and efficiency. Whether you’re a freelance illustrator managing multiple commissions, a studio team coordinating revisions, or a student learning to document your process, Noteli provides a reliable, embedded solution that keeps your creative flow intact. With permanent note preservation, cross-platform support, and a streamlined design, it’s more than just a plugin—it’s your creative memory inside Photoshop.

*Please note this plugin has the following built in languages: English, English US, Français, Deutsch, Español, Italiano, Português, Ελληνικά and 日本語

  • There is a projected release date for V.1.0.0 for January 2026.
  • In an incredible series of events and the release of Photoshop 27, there was a break in the code that allowed XMP data to be written from the UXP environment. Mainly due to security and a new pipeline built to deal with Content Credential data. For that reason, the past 3 days has been used to find a solution. Luckily a new more robust data saving XMP engine has been designed and is being deployed into th app. So V 1.1.0 is still set for January release.
Changelog

Noteli - Version History

Version 1.2.13 Bugfix

2026-03-18
  • ## [1.2.13] - 2026-03-18
  • ### Fixed
  • - **XMP note restore**: Replaced `noteli-xmp-wrapper.js` with Remind-A's proven pattern — same structure, correct `setupSaveInterception()` call, identical encoding flow
  • - **psd-metadata-engine.js**: Replaced with Remind-A's disk-read version — reads XMP via `XMPFile` from disk instead of stale batchPlay in-memory cache
  • - **Empty write on close**: `handleAutoSave` now guards against `!app.activeDocument` and `!content` — prevents blur-on-close overwriting good XMP with empty string
  • - **Load/save race condition**: `_loadInProgress` flag blocks `writeNote` during `loadCurrentDocument` to prevent empty auto-save firing mid-load
  • ### Files Modified
  • - `lib/core/noteli-xmp-wrapper.js` (all versions) — full rewrite based on Remind-A pattern
  • - `lib/core/psd-metadata-engine.js` (all versions) — replaced with Remind-A disk-read version
  • - `script.js` (all versions) — `handleAutoSave` guards, `_loadInProgress` flag, `loadCurrentDocument` finally block

Version 1.2.12 Bugfix

2026-03-18
  • ### Fixed
  • - **Double save dialog**: Auto-save now uses `cancellableDebounce(1500ms)` — saves only after typing pause, not on every keystroke
  • - **Concurrent save guard**: `_saveInProgress` flag in `writeNote` prevents two XMP writes running simultaneously
  • - **Blur + debounce collision**: `blur` event now calls `debouncedAutoSave.flush()` instead of `writeNote` directly, eliminating duplicate saves
  • - **Redundant internal timer**: Removed double-debounce (`setTimeout` inside `handleAutoSave`) that was stacking with outer debounce
  • - **Adobe save dialog text**: Changed `executeAsModal` `commandName` from "XMPFile Post-Save Patching" to "Noteli — Saving..."
  • - **Script sync**: Original and Adobe `script.js` now identical (null-check guard on `result.id === 'reload'`)
  • ### Files Modified
  • - `script.js` (all versions) — debounce timing, save guard, blur handler, handleAutoSave cleanup
  • - `lib/core/psd-metadata-engine.js` (all versions) — commandName update

Version 1.2.11 Bugfix

2026-03-18
  • ### Changed
  • - **XMP Write Pattern — No Dirty Pixel**
  • - Replaced `injectMetadata` + save interception with direct `performXMPFilePatching` call in `lib/core/noteli-xmp-wrapper.js`
  • - XMP now written directly to disk on blur — no invisible pixel, no JPG re-encode
  • - Removed `setupSaveInterception()` call from wrapper initialisation
  • - Added `comprehensiveLogger` null-safe fallback in `psd-metadata-engine.js`
  • - Removed `ensureDocumentNeedsSave()` call from `injectMetadata`
  • - Removed verification block (500ms delay + re-read) from `performXMPFilePatching`
  • - Added `writeNote(content)` to textarea blur handler in `script.js` for immediate save on focus loss
  • - Added `lib/core/document-watcher.js`
  • ### Fixed
  • - Manifest version corrected from `1.2.8` to `1.2.11` to match `version.js`
  • ### Files Modified
  • - `lib/core/psd-metadata-engine.js` — logger fallback, removed dirty pixel call, removed verification block
  • - `lib/core/noteli-xmp-wrapper.js` — direct `performXMPFilePatching` pattern
  • - `lib/core/document-watcher.js` — added (polling watcher)
  • - `script.js` — blur-save on textarea
  • - `manifest.json` — version bumped to 1.2.11
  • - `lib/core/version.js` — version bumped to 1.2.11

Version 1.2.10 Minor

2026-01-30
  • ### Fixed
  • - **Text Formatting Cursor Position Bug** - Critical fix for formatting controls inserting at wrong location
  • - **Issue**: Bold, italic, link, bullet, and section formatting buttons ignored cursor position
  • - **Root Cause**: All formatting operations used `textarea.value +=` which always appends to end of textarea
  • - **Solution**: Implemented cursor-aware insertion using `selectionStart`/`selectionEnd`
  • - **Impact**: Formatting tags now insert exactly at cursor position instead of randomly at end of text
  • - Affected operations:
  • - Bold button (`[b]`, `[/b]`) - now inserts at cursor
  • - Italic button (`[i]`, `[/i]`) - now inserts at cursor
  • - Link button (`[link=URL]`, `[/link]`) - now inserts at cursor
  • - Bullet button (`\n• `) - now inserts at cursor
  • - Section header button - now inserts at cursor
  • - Auto-close on drawer close - now inserts closing tags at cursor
  • - `closeAllFormats()` API - now inserts closing tags at cursor
  • - File: `lib/ui/noteli-format-drawer.js`
  • ### Technical
  • - Replaced all `textarea.value +=` operations with cursor-position-aware insertion
  • - Implementation pattern:
  • ```javascript
  • const cursorPos = textarea.selectionStart || textarea.value.length;
  • const textBefore = textarea.value.substring(0, cursorPos);
  • const textAfter = textarea.value.substring(textarea.selectionEnd || cursorPos);
  • textarea.value = textBefore + insertText + textAfter;
  • ```
  • - Added `setTimeout()` wrapper for cursor restoration to work around UXP textarea selection bug
  • - Updated 7 formatting functions and 2 auto-close operations

Version 1.2.9 Minor

2026-01-22

  • - **Root Cause**: File referenced in `index.html` line 427 but missing from `lib/core/` directory
  • - **Solution**: Copied `comprehensive-logger.js` from sylentID project (13,139 bytes)
  • - **Impact**: Plugin now loads correctly without errors
  • - File location: `lib/core/comprehensive-logger.js`
  • ### Changed
  • - Updated version number from 1.2.8 to 1.2.9 in `lib/core/version.js`

  • - Headers and footers now render correctly in Microsoft Word, LibreOffice, and compatible RTF viewers
