How to Use NotesIQ

1. Install NotesIQ from the Chrome Web Store — it's free to install.
2. Open any page on substack.com and click the NotesIQ icon to open the side panel.
3. The full app is locked until you enter a license key (there's no free tier). If you haven't bought one yet, the unlock screen links to notesiq.app/#pricing.
4. Paste your Lifetime or AI Pro key into the unlock screen — either one unlocks the full dashboard, scheduling, and every tab below. AI Coach specifically also needs an AI Pro key.

No account or sign-up is needed anywhere in this process — NotesIQ reads your Notes through your existing, already-logged-in Substack session.

The first tab you'll see. Every Note you've tracked, ranked by engagement, with your day streak, total likes/restacks/comments, and a Content Type Breakdown showing which kind of Note (Personal Story, Question, List/Tips, Quote/Repost) actually works for your audience.

Aggregate analytics across every Note you scroll past on Substack — not just your own. Useful for spotting what's generally working in your niche while you browse normally.

Compose posts or schedules a single Note through Substack's own native composer — NotesIQ drives it, so it publishes exactly like a Note you wrote by hand.

Queue lets you load up a whole week's worth of Notes at once, with one-click best-time autofill from your own Heatmap, so you're not composing live every day.

Look up any public Substack handle to see their content mix, posting patterns, and best times — no need to scroll through their whole history manually.

A leaderboard of who restacks and comments on your Notes the most — the readers most likely to become paid subscribers, and worth a direct thank-you or reply.

Save any Note — yours, a competitor's, or one from your feed — for later. One click sends a bookmarked Note straight to Compose or the Queue.

8 ready-to-copy prompts for ChatGPT or Claude — some pre-filled with your own best-performing Notes — for when you want to draft outside NotesIQ's own AI Coach.

Requires an AI Pro key ($9/mo add-on, separate from Lifetime). Two tools live here:

• Ghostwriter — give it a topic, and it drafts a new Note in your own voice, based on your best-performing Notes.
• AI Post Coach — one concrete, data-grounded suggestion for what to write next, based on your content-type performance and current streak.

Three things live here worth knowing about:

• Backup & export — full JSON backup/restore, CSV export, and a Media Kit export for sponsor pitches.
• Manage Billing — links to the payment provider's customer portal to cancel or manage an AI Pro subscription. "Remove License Key" only removes access on that device — it does not cancel billing.
• License management — activate, switch, or remove your Lifetime and AI Pro keys.
