About Online Notepad
Online Notepad has been a destination for people who need to write something down on the web since 2019. This is the new home — same purpose, faster, more private.
What we are
A free text editor and paste tool that runs in your browser. Nothing leaves your machine unless you copy or download it. We don't have an account system. We don't have a database holding your notes.
What we believe
- Utilities should be free. A notepad is a utility. You shouldn't have to log in to write down a grocery list.
- Privacy by default. If we don't need your data to run the product, we shouldn't collect it.
- Speed matters. The page should load in under a second on a phone over 4G. No loading spinners on a text editor.
- No dark patterns. No "are you sure you want to leave" popups, no fake notification badges, no signup walls that hide the product.
How it's funded
Display ads on content pages — not in the editor. We may also offer a small one-time donation option. We don't sell data because we don't have any to sell.
What's next
More small utilities. Better Markdown rendering. Optional encrypted sync (only if we can build it client-side so we still can't read your notes). If you want something specific, tell us.
