How to use Online Notepad
Frequently Asked Questions
Will my notes be saved if I close the browser tab?
Yes. The notepad auto-saves every keystroke to your browser's localStorage, which persists after closing the tab or the browser. When you reopen the page in the same browser on the same device, your previous note loads automatically. Clearing browser site data, using private/incognito mode, or switching to a different browser or device will result in an empty notepad.
Is my text uploaded to any server?
No. Everything is stored locally in your browser using the Web Storage API (localStorage). No text is sent to any server at any point. The notepad functions completely offline once the page has loaded. This makes it safe to use for drafting sensitive content like passwords, personal notes, or confidential work.
Can I access my notes on a different device?
No — localStorage is browser-specific and device-specific. Notes saved in Chrome on your laptop are not accessible on your phone or in Firefox on the same laptop. If you need cross-device access, use the Download TXT button to save your note as a file and transfer it manually, or paste the text into an email or messaging app to move it across devices.
Is there a character or word limit?
There is no enforced limit in the notepad itself. Browser localStorage has a per-origin size limit of approximately 5MB, which is equivalent to roughly 2.5 million characters of plain text. You would need to write an extraordinarily long document to approach this limit — typical notes, drafts, and articles are nowhere close to the storage ceiling.
Can I format text with bold, italic, or bullet points?
The notepad is plain text only — it does not support rich text formatting like bold, italics, bullet points, or headings. This is intentional: the goal is a distraction-free writing surface without formatting complexity. If you need rich text formatting, paste your text into a word processor or a Markdown editor after drafting it here.
