A plain notepad in your browser. Type, and it saves as you go. No account, no signup, and your notes never leave your computer.
How it works
Every note is stored in your browser’s local storage, on your own device. Nothing is sent to a server, so nobody else can read it, including me. Close the tab and open it again tomorrow, and your notes are where you left them.
- New note starts a blank page. Your notes are listed on the left, newest first.
- Download saves the open note as a plain .txt file you can keep anywhere.
- Delete removes the open note from this browser. It cannot be undone.
Good to know
Because notes live in this browser, they do not follow you to another computer or another browser, and a private window forgets them when it closes. Clearing your browsing data for this site deletes them too. For anything you cannot afford to lose, download it.
The notepad keeps plain text only. No formatting, no images, nothing to get in the way of writing a list, a draft or a phone number you need to remember for five minutes.
Questions
Is it really free?
Yes, and it stays free. There is no paid version and nothing to unlock.
Can I lose my notes?
Only if this browser’s data for the site is cleared, or you delete a note yourself. Download anything important as a text file.
Does it work offline?
Once the page has loaded, you can keep typing without a connection, and everything is saved in your browser as usual.
What happened to WhizNote?
WhizNote was a small Windows note program that some of you will remember. It is no longer offered. This notepad does the same simple job in a browser, with nothing to install.
