About Online Notepad

Online Notepad provides a clean, distraction-free text editing environment in the browser with automatic localStorage persistence so notes are never lost between sessions. Unlike generic text editors, it supports multiple named notes with auto-generated titles from the first line, a word and character count status bar, font family and size controls, a find and replace toolbar, and an optional Markdown preview panel for technical notes. Notes are saved every 2 seconds automatically with a quiet saved indicator so you always know your work is preserved without manual saving.

Key Features

  • Auto-Save Every 2 Seconds

    Notes are saved to localStorage automatically with a subtle saved indicator. No manual save needed.

  • Multiple Notes

    Create, switch between, and delete multiple notes. Each gets an auto-title from the first line.

  • Find and Replace

    Ctrl+F opens a find/replace toolbar with previous, next, replace, and replace all actions.

  • Markdown Preview

    Toggle a side-by-side rendered Markdown preview for technical and structured notes.

  • Font and Size Controls

    Choose monospace, sans-serif, or serif font family and small, medium, or large text size.

  • Download and Export

    Download the current note as a .txt or .md file or copy all text in one click.
