Online Notepad

Start typing and the note is kept — no account, no sign-in, no upload. The text is stored in your own browser and comes back when you open this page again on the same device. There is a live word and character count, a .txt download, and a clear button that really deletes what was saved.

The note is stored only in this browser on this device — never uploaded. Clearing site data or using a private window removes it, so download the .txt if it matters.

How it works

The note is written to your browser’s localStorage about half a second after you stop typing, rather than on every keystroke. That keeps a long note from hammering storage while still meaning you never have to press save. The timestamp of the last save is shown above the editor, so you can tell at a glance whether your latest sentence made it in.

Storage is per-browser and per-device: a note written in Chrome on your laptop is not there in Firefox, or on your phone, and a private/incognito window forgets everything when it closes. If storage is unavailable or full, the editor keeps working and simply says it is not saving — better than pretending to persist text it cannot.

The download names the file after the first non-empty line of the note, with characters a filesystem rejects (\ / : * ? " < > |) replaced by spaces, so a note that starts "Shopping list" arrives as “Shopping list.txt”. Statistics count words the same way the word counter does: runs of non-whitespace, so Serbian letters and punctuation behave sensibly.

Practical examples

A note you did not plan to keep

You paste a phone number and two addresses while on a call, then close the tab by accident. Reopen the page and the text is still there — the note was saved 600 ms after you stopped typing, without you doing anything.

Drafting before pasting somewhere strict

Write a 300-word product description here, watch the character count, then copy it into a form with a 2,000-character limit. Because the editor is plain text, nothing arrives with hidden formatting from a word processor.

Turning notes into a file

A meeting note beginning with the line "Sprint review 12 March" downloads as “Sprint review 12 March.txt”, so a folder of exported notes stays sortable without renaming anything.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to press save?

No. The note saves itself shortly after you stop typing, and the time of the last save is shown above the editor. There is no save button because there is nothing to press — if the timestamp updates, the text is stored.

Where exactly is my note stored?

In localStorage in your browser, on this device, under a single key. It is not sent to a server, there is no account, and nobody else can read it through this site. Anyone with access to your computer and browser profile can, so treat it like a file on your desktop rather than a vault.

Will the note be there on my phone too?

No. Browser storage does not sync between devices or browsers. For that you need a file: download the .txt and put it wherever you keep files that follow you around.

What happens in a private or incognito window?

It works while the window is open and is discarded when you close it, because private-mode storage is cleared on exit. If a note matters, download it before closing.

Can I lose the note by clearing browsing data?

Yes — clearing site data or cookies for this site removes it, as does a browser setting that clears storage on exit. This is the one real risk of storage-based notes, and the reason the download button exists.

Does the clear button really delete it?

It empties the editor and removes the stored entry, so reopening the page gives you a blank note. There is no undo and no version history, so use the download first if you might want the text back.

Is there a size limit?

Browsers typically allow a few megabytes per site, which is far more than a text note ever reaches — roughly a million words. If storage is full or blocked, the editor tells you it is not saving instead of failing quietly.

Can I keep more than one note?

This page holds one note; a second one would need a second storage slot and a note list, which is a different tool. In practice a line of dashes as a separator handles a handful of short notes fine.

What does the word wrap button do?

It switches between wrapping long lines and letting them run off to the side with a horizontal scrollbar. Wrapping off is useful for pasted log lines, CSV rows or code where a visual line break would be misleading.

Does it keep formatting from Word or a web page?

No, and that is the point. Everything becomes plain text, so pasting from a document or a website strips bold, fonts, colours and the invisible markup that breaks forms and CMS fields.

Are the statistics the same as in the word counter?

Yes, the same counting logic: words, characters with and without spaces, lines and paragraphs. If you need reading time or letter frequency, the dedicated counters go further.

Does anything about my note reach analytics?

No. Only the fact that a download was clicked is recorded — never the text, its length or its contents. The note itself never leaves your browser.
