Notepad

A notepad that saves automatically as you type. You can keep many notes and search them, with no sign-up, and they are stored only in this browser. Use it for quick notes, to-do items or text you want to keep at hand.

How to use

1. Start typing in the editor. The first line becomes the note's title, and the time of the last save is shown.
2. Press "New note" to start another one, and use "Search notes" to find notes by title or text.
3. Use "Pin to top" for notes you open often, and "Move to trash" for notes you no longer need.
4. Export a note with "Save .txt" or "Save .md", and back up everything now and then with "Back up all notes (JSON)".

How it works

• Notes are stored only in this browser on this device and are never sent anywhere. Clearing your browser data deletes them, and private browsing may block saving.
• Notes in the trash are deleted for good 30 days after you move them there; until then, "Restore" brings them back.
• If the same note is edited in two tabs, nothing is overwritten; the page asks which version to keep.
• "Find and replace", "Focus mode", text size, a fixed-width font and Tab-key indenting are available.

Questions and answers

Can I see my notes on another device?

No. Notes are stored only in the browser you are using. To move them, save a file with "Back up all notes (JSON)" and drop it onto the notepad on the other device.

Are my notes kept after I close the page?

Yes. They are saved as you type, so they are still there when you open the page again. Clearing the browser's site data removes them.

Can I recover a note I deleted?

If it went to the trash less than 30 days ago, open the trash and press "Restore". A note removed with "Delete for good" cannot be recovered.

Can I open a text file as a note?

Yes. Drop .txt or .md files onto the notepad; each file becomes one note.
