Browser Notepad
Browser Notepad — runs in your browser. Inputs are not stored.
Browser notepad
Saved only in this browser. Not sent to the server. May disappear if you clear the cache.
How to use
- Open an existing note from the list above, or press New note for a blank title and body.
- Write a title and body. An empty title shows as Untitled in the list.
- Save stores only in this browser’s localStorage. Nothing is sent to a server. If storage is full, a failure message appears.
- The list is sorted by last edited time. Clicking another note loads its title and body.
- Delete removes only the open note. Deleting in a new-note state only clears the fields. Notes may be missing after cache clear, in private windows, or on another device.
Key concepts
Browser notepad is not a cloud account. It stores several notes as JSON under a localStorage key for this site origin. Even on the same computer, another browser, private mode, or profile is a different store. Clearing site data or exceeding quota can delete notes or fail saves.
Avoid passwords, resident IDs, and bank details. Local still means anyone using this device can view storage in developer tools. Keep important writing in a file or another backup too. There is no server sync or share link. The key is unique to this tool so it does not mix with other sites’ notes, but wiping this site’s data removes it. For long writing, periodically copy the body to a file.
Example
Press New note, title it Groceries, list milk and eggs, then Save: Groceries appears in the list with a saved notice. Save another title and two items stack by last edited. Open Groceries, edit, and save again to move that note to the top. Delete removes only that note and leaves a blank new-note state. Saving a body with no title shows as Untitled. Editing and saving the same open note updates its timestamp instead of creating a new one. Opening another browser may show an empty list.
