A scratch pad is far more useful when your notes are still there after an accidental refresh.
Online Notepad autosaves your text in this browser and shows a saved status so you know it is stored.
How to use Online Notepad
- Keep Autosave in this browser turned on as you write.
- Type your note; the saved status updates as it stores locally.
- Reopen the page on the same browser to find your note restored.
Use cases
- Parking a draft you want to come back to later.
- Keeping a running checklist across a work session.
- Holding notes that survive an accidental tab refresh.
Good to know
Online Notepad stores your text in this browser using local storage, so it is restored only on the same browser and device, not across your other devices. Clearing your browsing data or using private mode will remove the saved note, and very large notes may hit the browser storage limit.
Frequently asked questions
Where is my autosaved note kept?
In this browser's local storage on this device, so it is restored here but does not travel to your other devices.
Will clearing browser data delete my note?
Yes. Autosave relies on browser storage, so clearing site data or browsing history removes the saved note.
Can I get my note back on another device?
No. The autosave is per browser and device, so open the same browser where you wrote it to restore the note.
