Good uses

  • Quick capture: paste text you'll need again in a minute.
  • To-do lists for the day.
  • Drafting emails or posts before pasting them into another app.
  • Cleaning text: paste formatted text here to strip the formatting, then copy it again.

Privacy

Notes never leave your device: there's no account and no server copy. That also means no sync. If you clear your browser data, notes are deleted, so download anything important.

Count words with the Word Counter, clean up pasted text with Remove Extra Spaces, or compare two versions with the Diff Checker.

How to use the Online Notepad

  1. Open the tool. It's ready to use immediately, with nothing to install.
  2. Enter your entries, numbers or settings, or keep the defaults.
  3. Press the main button (spin, roll, start or generate) and watch the result.
  4. Repeat as often as you like; results are generated fresh each time in your browser.

Frequently asked questions

Where are my notes saved?

In your browser's local storage on this device. They're not uploaded anywhere, so they're private, but they won't appear on your other devices or in other browsers.

Will my notes disappear?

They stay until you delete them or clear your browser's site data. Private/incognito windows erase them when closed. Download important notes as .txt files as a backup.

Is there a size limit?

Browsers typically allow around 5 MB of local storage per site, which is millions of characters. If storage is full, the status bar will tell you that saving failed.

Can I use it offline?

Yes. Once the page has loaded, you can keep writing without a connection, and notes are saved locally.

Are the random results fair?

Yes. The wheel, random number generator, coin flip and dice use your browser's cryptographically secure random number generator (crypto.getRandomValues) with unbiased sampling, so every outcome is equally likely.

Do these tools work offline or on my phone?

They run entirely in your browser and work on phones, tablets and computers. Once a page has loaded, most tools keep working without a connection.

Is anything I type saved on your servers?

No. The notepad saves notes only in your own browser's local storage, and nothing else you enter is stored.
