How to use Online notepad
Add your text
Type or paste your text into the input box. Everything is handled by your own browser, so nothing is sent to a server.
Set the options
Choose Search notes and Note title. The options are visible from the start, not hidden until you paste something.
Read it and keep a copy
The output updates as you type, so there is nothing to submit and nothing to wait for. Copy puts the result on your clipboard and Download note, Don saves it as a file.
What this tool does
Multiple notes with search and sidebar
Notes are kept in a sidebar with a search box, so finding one from last month is a search rather than a scroll.
Autosaves in your browser
Every keystroke is saved to this browser as you type, so closing the tab by accident does not lose anything.
Light, dark and sepia themes, fonts and sizes
Light, dark and sepia themes, sans, serif and mono fonts, four sizes and three line spacings, so a long writing session stays comfortable.
Find and replace
Find and replace works within the current note, with case sensitivity and a replace-all.
Export to TXT, MD, HTML and JSON backup
Download a note as TXT, Markdown or HTML, or back up every note at once as a JSON file you can import again later.
No upload, no sign-up
Everything stays in this browser. Nothing is uploaded and there is no account.
Frequently asked questions
Where are my notes saved?
Your notes are saved only in this browser on this device, using local storage. Nothing is uploaded to a server, so they stay private to you. Use Download or Backup to keep copies elsewhere.
Can I keep more than one note?
Yes. Use the plus button to create as many notes as you like. They appear in the list on the left, where you can search them, switch between them, duplicate or delete them. Each note has its own title.
Will my notes still be here when I come back?
Yes, as long as you use the same browser on the same device and have not cleared your browsing data. This is not a backup though, so download important notes or use Backup all to save a single file of everything.
How do I change the look of the editor?
Press the Aa button for appearance settings: light, dark or sepia theme, a sans, serif or monospace font, four text sizes, line spacing, word wrap and spellcheck. Your choices are remembered on this device.
How does find and replace work?
Press Find or Ctrl-F to open the bar. Type what to find and press Next to jump to each match, or type a replacement and press Replace all. There is a case-sensitive option and a live match count.
What can I export?
Download the current note as plain text (.txt), Markdown (.md) or a styled HTML file, or use Backup all to export every note and your data as a single .json file that you can Import again later.
Are there handy shortcuts while typing?
Yes. Tab inserts spaces for indentation, pressing Enter inside a bullet or numbered list continues the list automatically, the Date button inserts the current date and time, Ctrl-S saves, Ctrl-F opens find, and Esc closes find or fullscreen.
What happens in a private or incognito window?
Everything works while the window is open, but private windows usually forget all stored data once closed, so your notes will not persist. Download anything you want to keep.
Is there a size limit?
Browser storage is limited, often a few megabytes total across all notes, which is plenty for writing but not for huge files. Very large notes may fail to save, so download long pieces.
