Is NotePADD - notepad offline safe?

Low risk

NotePADD embeds a Google OAuth client secret and sends it to Google's token endpoint during Drive sign-in.

When you connect Google Drive, the extension exchanges OAuth codes and refresh tokens with Google's token endpoint. Its source includes the OAuth client secret and sends that value with token requests from the installed extension.
