About this tool
A clean, distraction-free online notepad for quick notes, drafts, and copy-paste text. It autosaves to your browser as you type, so your note is still there when you come back — no account, no sign-up.
What it's good for
- Jotting an idea or a phone number before you forget it.
- Drafting a message or post away from distractions.
- A scratchpad to clean up text you copied from somewhere else.
- A temporary place to hold text while you move between apps.
How saving works
Your note is stored locally in this browser using localStorage — it never leaves your device and isn't sent to any server. That means it's private, but also that it's tied to this browser on this device: it won't sync elsewhere, and clearing your browser data will remove it. Use Download .txt to keep a permanent copy.
A live word and character count sits under the editor. Need detailed text stats or platform limits? Open the Word & Character Counter.
Frequently asked questions
Does the notepad save my notes automatically?
Yes. Everything you type is saved instantly in your browser, so your note is still there when you return to the page.
Where are my notes stored?
In your browser's localStorage on this device. Nothing is uploaded to a server, which keeps your notes private.
Will my notes sync to other devices?
No. Because they are saved locally in this browser, they won't appear on another device or browser. Download a .txt copy if you need it elsewhere.
Will I lose my notes?
They stay until you clear them or wipe your browser data. For anything important, use Download .txt to keep a permanent copy.
Do I need an account?
No. The notepad works instantly with no sign-up or login.
