Features
- Autosave to this browser after every pause in typing.
- Multiple notes — the first line becomes the note’s name.
- Live counts of words, characters and lines (handy for essays, tweets and meta descriptions).
- Find & replace, with optional case matching.
- Open a .txt, .md or .csv file and download any note as .txt.
Where are my notes stored?
Only in your browser’s local storage on this device. They are never sent to a server, which makes the notepad private — but it also means notes do not sync between devices and are deleted if you clear your browsing data. Download anything important. In private/incognito windows notes are removed when the window closes.
Good uses
- A scratch pad for copying and cleaning up text (paste formatted text here to strip the formatting).
- Drafting emails, posts and messages before sending.
- Quick to-do lists and meeting notes.
- Writing on a shared or library computer — download, then delete the note.
