Free Online Notepad

Why this matters

Sometimes you just need a place to dump text. A snippet of code, a meeting note, a long paste, a quick draft. The OS clipboard is too temporary, full editors are too heavy, and notes apps require accounts. A browser notepad is the lightest possible place to put text.

This notepad auto-saves to your browser's local storage (never leaves your device), supports syntax highlighting for 20+ languages, has a Format button for quick cleanup, and downloads as the right file extension (.js, .sql, .py, .md, etc.) for the language you've selected. No signup, no sync, no data leaving your browser.

Best uses: drafting code snippets, writing long-form text before pasting into a CMS, taking quick notes during a call, formatting messy text, and storing text temporarily without it leaving your device.
