NoteDock - Admin Notes & Checklists
Private admin notes and checklists where the work happens.
Adds notes, tasks and checklists inside the WordPress admin: Dashboard, posts, pages, WooCommerce products, taxonomies, custom post types and supported admin screens.
Overview
Who it is for
For site owners, editors, agencies, developers, shop managers, content teams and clients who want small tasks inside WordPress itself.
What it solves in practice
- Notes on the Dashboard, posts, pages, products, public CPTs and taxonomy terms.
- Each note can be a simple message, a task or a checklist with progress.
- Color, priority, due date, expiration date, pin, collapse, replies and archive flow.
- Visibility options: personal, global, role-based or assigned user.
- A NoteDock > All screen with search, filters, status, visibility, context and due dates.
- Optional NoteDock column in admin lists for note count or preview.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can visitors see the notes?
No. Notes appear only in the WordPress admin area and only to users who have permission to view them.
Can I create a note only for myself?
Yes. Personal visibility makes the note visible only to the user who created it.
Can I assign a note to another user?
Yes. You can choose an assigned user and, when email notifications are enabled, notify them about that specific note.
Does it require WooCommerce or Elementor?
No. NoteDock works without WooCommerce or Elementor. If supported editable items from those tools exist, it can work with them too.
