About this tool
This is a plain, fast online notepad — no account, no clutter, no ads in your way. Everything you type is saved automatically in your browser using local storage, so your notes are still here when you come back or lose your connection. Because it is a PWA, you can even install it and use it offline.
Your text never leaves your device — there is no server to send it to. Use it as a scratchpad for a quick idea, a place to strip formatting off copied text, or a distraction-free space to draft. When you are done, copy it or download it as a .txt or Markdown .md file.
Frequently asked questions
Does the notepad save automatically?
Yes. Your text is saved to this browser's local storage roughly 400ms after you stop typing — watch for the small "saved" flash. There's no manual save button because none is needed.
Is my text private, or does it get uploaded anywhere?
Your notes never leave your device. Everything is stored in this browser's local storage and there is no server upload — the same is true for every tool on this site.
Will my notes sync across different devices or browsers?
No. Local storage is tied to this specific browser on this specific device — switching browsers, computers, or using a private window starts you with a blank notepad. Download the .txt or .md file if you need to move notes elsewhere.
What happens if I clear my browser data?
Clearing site data, cookies, or local storage for this site will erase whatever is in the notepad — there's no backup copy anywhere else. Export important notes as .txt or .md before doing a cleanup.
Can I export my notes as a file?
Yes. Use the .txt or .md buttons to download your current notes as a plain text or Markdown file, ready to open in any editor.
