Online Notepad — Autosave, Character Count, TXT Download
TextAn online notepad is a free browser tool for writing notes instantly, with the content autosaved to localStorage in the current browser — no install or account needed.
What is it
Use this notepad to jot down or paste text quickly. When you pause typing, the content is automatically saved to the current browser via localStorage, so closing and reopening the tab in the same browser restores your note. Live character, word, and line counts are shown, and the note can be downloaded as a .txt file. Storage is limited to this one browser on this device; there is no server sync.
How to use
- 1Type or paste text into the notepad.
- 2Pause typing; the note autosaves to this browser.
- 3Copy or download it as .txt when needed, or press reset to clear.

FAQ
Where is my note stored?
Only in the localStorage of the browser you are using right now. Nothing is sent to a server, so the note is not visible on other devices or browsers.
Can my note disappear?
Yes. Clearing the browser site data or closing a private/incognito window empties localStorage and removes the note. Download important notes as .txt for backup.
Is there a storage limit?
Yes. localStorage is typically capped around 5MB per site, which is millions of plain-text characters — plenty for everyday notes.
