Online Notepad
A simple, private space to jot down your thoughts, lists, or any text. Your notes are automatically saved in your browser's local storage.
How to Use Your Online Notepad
Our Online Notepad offers a straightforward and convenient way to take notes without needing any software installation or account creation. It's designed for quick thoughts, temporary information, or drafting text. The key feature is its use of your browser's local storage, meaning your notes are saved directly on your computer and persist even if you close the tab or browser, as long as you use the same browser and don't clear its storage. This ensures privacy as your notes are not sent to any server. It's your personal digital scratchpad, always accessible.
Start Typing
Simply click into the large text area and begin typing. Your notes will be automatically saved to your browser's local storage as you type, typically after a short delay or when you pause.
Notes Persist
Close the tab or browser and reopen it later. Your previously typed notes should automatically load back into the notepad, as they are stored locally on your device for this specific browser.
Manage Your Notes
Use the 'Copy All Text' button to quickly copy your notes to the clipboard. The 'Clear Notepad' button will erase all content (use with caution!). You can also download your notes as a simple .txt file.
Privacy and Local Storage
This Online Notepad prioritizes your privacy by utilizing your web browser's local storage. This means your notes are stored directly on your computer within the browser you are using. We do not transmit your notes to our servers or any third party. However, this also means your notes are specific to that browser on that device. If you switch browsers, use a different device, or clear your browser's local storage (cache/cookies/site data), your notes will be lost. For critical or long-term information, always ensure you have a backup, for example, by using the "Download as .txt" feature regularly.
