WhyKeep Notes

WhyKeep Notes helps developers and site administrators preserve the context behind a WordPress website.

Document why a plugin is installed, record important technical decisions, leave maintenance instructions, and keep information that you or the next developer may need later.

WordPress tells you what is installed. WhyKeep Notes tells you why it is there.

WhyKeep Notes lets you:

• Create private internal notes inside WordPress admin.
• Attach notes directly to installed plugins.
• Leave general notes about the website, configuration, maintenance, or technical decisions.
• Mark important notes so critical information is easy to find.
• Organize notes with categories.
• Search and filter your documentation.
• Create, view, edit, and delete plugin notes in a modal on the Plugins screen.
• Use Tools > WhyKeep Notes for the full timeline and management workflow.
• Preserve plugin notes even when the related plugin is no longer installed.

WhyKeep Notes is designed for developers, freelancers, agencies, and site administrators who want to leave useful context behind instead of relying on memory.

Privacy and external services

WhyKeep Notes works completely inside your WordPress installation.

It does not:

• Send data to external services.
• Include telemetry or tracking.
• Display advertising.
• Load anything on the frontend.
• Require an external account.
