Online Notepad
A notepad that opens in any browser tab and remembers what you wrote. Every keystroke is saved to your browser's local storage, so a refresh, a crash or a laptop going to sleep does not lose the note — it is there when you come back to the same browser on the same device. Fullscreen hides the rest of the page when you want to concentrate, and the note downloads as a .txt whenever you want a copy somewhere permanent. It is deliberately a scratchpad rather than a document store: there is no account, no sync and no server, which is what makes it instant to open and also what you need to understand before you trust it with something you cannot lose.
How to use
- Just start typing. Saves happen automatically as you go.
- Toggle Fullscreen for a distraction-free view.
- Download to .txt to keep a copy on disk.
- Clear when you're done; the slot is ready for the next note.
Frequently asked questions
- Where is the note saved?
- In your browser's local storage, scoped to this domain. Nothing is uploaded; nothing is shared with another tab unless you open the same notepad URL in it.
- Does it sync across devices?
- No — local storage is per browser per device. Use the Download .txt button to move a note manually.
- What if I clear my browser data?
- The note goes with it. For anything important, hit Download .txt before clearing.
- Is there a length limit?
- Local storage typically caps around 5–10 MB per origin. Megabyte-long notes (~1M characters) work; full novels start to get slow.
- Can another site or another person read my note?
- No. Local storage is scoped to a single origin, so no other site can reach this one's data, and there is no server holding a copy - the note never leaves the browser. Anyone with access to your unlocked device and this browser profile can open the tab and read it, though, so it is private from the network rather than private from the room.
- Does it work offline?
- Once the page is open, yes - typing and saving need no network at all. Loading the page the first time does, and whether it opens again with no connection depends on what your browser has cached. For reliably offline notes, download the .txt.
- Will my note survive private or incognito mode?
- No. Private windows get a separate storage area that is discarded when the last one closes, so the note disappears with the session and cannot be recovered. If you are working in a private window, download the text before you close it.
