About Notes
A plain notepad that opens instantly and saves as you type. No account, no loading spinner, no sync conflict.
Everything is stored in your browser's local storage, which is the whole design rather than a limitation. Nothing you write reaches a server, so there is no privacy policy governing your notes and nobody to trust with them. That makes it genuinely appropriate for the things people should not paste into a cloud notes app โ a password hint, a half-formed idea about work, notes from a difficult conversation.
The trade-off is real and worth stating plainly: your notes live in one browser on one device. They will not appear on your phone, they do not survive clearing site data, and they are gone when a private window closes. For a scratchpad, a shopping list or drafting a message, that is exactly the right trade. For anything you would be upset to lose, copy it somewhere with backups.
How to use Notes
- Start typing โ the note saves automatically as you go.
- Close the tab whenever you like; your text is waiting when you return.
- Copy anything important somewhere backed up, since notes live only in this browser.
Frequently asked questions
Where are my notes stored?
In your browser's local storage on this device. They are never sent to a server, which is why there is no account and no privacy policy governing them.
Will I lose my notes?
They persist across visits and restarts, but they are deleted if you clear browsing data or site storage, and they do not survive a private window closing. Copy anything important somewhere backed up.
Can I access them on another device?
No. Local storage is per-device and per-browser, which is the same property that keeps them private with no account. Syncing would require a server holding your notes.
Is there a length limit?
Local storage is typically capped around 5-10 MB per site, which is a very large amount of plain text. You are unlikely to reach it with written notes.
