Step-by-step
-
1
Open the notepad
Visit the homepage in any modern browser. There is nothing to install and no login required.
-
2
Start writing
Click into the editor and begin typing. Use the formatting toolbar for bold, italic, lists, headings, links and code blocks.
-
3
Auto save locally
Every change is automatically saved to your browser local storage within seconds, so you never lose work.
-
4
Open from anywhere
Reopen the same browser later to find your notes ready. Use export to back them up or import to migrate.
How auto-save works
The editor listens for input and debounces writes to localStorage at roughly one second. When you reload the page, the last active note is restored. There is no manual save step required.
For long documents, the editor uses chunked rendering so typing remains responsive even past two million characters.
How privacy works
Your notes are stored in your browser, not on our servers. Different browsers and incognito sessions keep separate stores. Use export to back them up or to move them between devices.
Tips
- Use Ctrl+S to force-save and confirm a note is persisted.
- Use Ctrl+N to start a fresh note without losing the current one.
- Pin frequently used notes to keep them at the top of the list.
- Lock financial or personal notes with the password feature.
