Our analysis
AI-assistedSimple Admin Notes is a WordPress plugin that allows you to leave notes for clients or yourself within the WordPress admin area. You can attach notes to posts, pages, or custom post types, and there is also a default 'Notes' section accessible from the admin menu that can be shown or hidden.

From the developer
wycks's own description of Simple Admin Notes, lightly tidied.
Like a built in notepad, leave notes for clients or yourself in the WordPress admin. Attach notes to above or below the editor of a post (or page or custom post type) and also has a default “Notes” section available from the admin menu which you can hide or show.
The style of the notes section has been updated with the changes in WordPress 3.8+. Please note that the UI will not look great on WordPress version lower then 3.8 and there are no plans to fix this.
Features :
- Uses WordPress’s built in custom post types
- Functions with default WYSIWYG editor
- Uses WordPress’s meta fields if set to display on post edit screens
