Online Notepad

Not automatically, because notes live only in the browser where you wrote them. To move them, use “Back up all notes” to save a .json file, then “Restore from a backup” on the other device. For a single note, a share link works too.

Notes that are exactly the same (same title and text) are not added twice. If a note with the same origin has different text, it is added as a separate note, so you can also recover text you deleted by mistake.

If you also clear site data (cookies and site storage), your notes are deleted. Notes written in a private or incognito window disappear when you close the window. Safari on iPhone and iPad deletes a site’s stored data after 7 days of Safari use without visiting the site (sites added to the Home Screen are counted separately). Back up important notes first.

A link that carries the current note’s title and text, compressed inside the link itself. Whoever opens it can read the note and save it with “Save to my notes”. Anyone who has the link can read it, so don’t put passwords or other sensitive details in a shared note.

No. A link is a snapshot of the note at the moment you made it. To share your edits, press “Share link” again and send the new link. Very long notes may be too long for a link; download them as .txt instead.

Not by itself. It opens read-only. Press “Save to my notes” at the top to keep it as a new note (up to 5 on the free plan).

Press “Delete this note”. It changes to “Press again to delete”; press it again within 3 seconds. Deleted notes can’t be recovered, so download a .txt first if you’re unsure.

The .txt or .md file you choose opens as a new note, so your current note is not overwritten. Files can be up to 1 MB. Files saved by Windows Notepad as “Unicode”, and older Japanese encodings (Shift_JIS), also open without garbled text.

Characters are counted as you see them, without line breaks, so an emoji counts as one. Words are counted with your browser’s word segmentation, which also works for languages written without spaces, such as Japanese.

Changes made in one tab show up in the other automatically. If you edit the same note in both tabs at the same time, the last one saved wins.

Yes. Switch notes with the menu at the top. The writing area grows to fit your screen.

Your browser’s storage is full, or your browser settings block sites from saving data. Your text is still on screen, so copy it or download it as .txt first, then check your browser settings.
