Online Notepad

About Online Notepad

An online notepad is a free place to write notes in your browser with no sign-up and no login. Format as you go — bold, headings, bullet and numbered lists, checklists, quotes, links, and more — and your note autosaves to this browser automatically, so it's still here when you come back. Nothing is uploaded and it stays private on your device. Copy the text or download it as a .txt file anytime, with live word and character counts as you write.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to sign up or log in?

No. The notepad works instantly with no account, sign-up, or login — just start typing and your note saves itself in this browser.

Does it save my note automatically?

Yes. Every change autosaves to your browser's local storage as you type, so you don't need a save button and won't lose your note if you close the tab.

Where is my note saved, and is it private?

In your browser's local storage on this device only. It isn't uploaded anywhere, so it stays private — but it won't sync to other devices, and clearing site data or using private mode will remove it.

Will my note still be here later?

Yes, as long as you use the same browser and don't clear its site data. For anything important, use the .txt button to download a copy.

Can I save my note as a file?

Yes — the .txt button downloads your note as a plain text file, or Copy grabs all the text at once.
