How to use the online notepad

  1. 1
    Just start typing

    Click in the editor and write — notes, lists, drafts, anything. Your text is saved automatically after every pause, so you can close the tab and come back later.

  2. 2
    Watch the live stats

    Word, character and line counts update as you type, along with an estimated reading time — handy when you are drafting something with a length target.

  3. 3
    Download or copy

    Type an optional file name and hit Download .txt to save your notes as a plain-text file, or use Copy text to paste them into email, Word or Google Docs.

  4. 4
    Go distraction-free

    Hit Fullscreen to focus on writing alone, and Clear to wipe the pad and start fresh whenever you want.

Features

Automatic saving

Your notes are stored in your browser’s local storage after every pause in typing — close the tab or lose power and your words are still here.

Live word and character counts

Real-time stats for words, characters and lines, plus an estimated reading time calculated at an average reading speed.

Download as .txt

Export your notes as a plain-text file that opens anywhere — Windows, Mac, phones and tablets. Pick your own file name.

One-click copy

Copy the whole note to your clipboard instantly and paste it into email, chat, Word or any other app.

Fullscreen writing mode

Expand the editor to fill your screen and write without distractions, then exit with the Esc key.

Private by design

There is no server, no account and no tracking — your notes never leave your device.

Frequently asked questions

Is this online notepad really free?
Yes. There is no signup, no trial and no limit on how much you can write. Everything on this page works forever at no cost.
Where are my notes saved?
In your browser’s local storage on your own device. That means your notes persist when you close the tab and return on the same browser, but they are not synced to other devices.
Can I access my notes on another device?
Not automatically — local storage is per browser and per device. To move notes, download them as a .txt file or copy the text and send it to yourself, then paste it here on the other device.
Is my text private?
Completely. There is no server behind this page, so nothing you type is ever transmitted anywhere. Your notes exist only in your browser’s storage.
What happens if I clear my browser data?
Clearing cookies and site data also clears local storage, which would delete your saved notes. Download anything important as a .txt file first.
Is there a word limit?
No hard limit. Browsers can store several megabytes in local storage — far more than a typical note. If storage ever fills up, the page tells you instead of silently losing text.
Does it work offline?
Once the page is loaded, the editor itself needs no network at all — typing, counting and autosaving all happen locally on your device.
