Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about using our free online notepad.

Do I need to create an account to use the notepad?

No! Our notepad works without any registration. Simply visit the site and start typing immediately. No email, password, or personal information required.

Is the online notepad really free?

Yes, completely free with no hidden costs, premium plans, or feature limitations. All functionality including rich text editing, sharing, and cloud storage is available at no charge.

How are my notes saved without an account?

Each note gets a unique URL that serves as its identifier. Your notes are automatically saved to the cloud as you type, and you can bookmark the URL to access them later.

Can I share my notes with others?

Absolutely! Use the share button to get a public link to your note. Anyone with the link can view your note without needing an account.

Are my notes private and secure?

Yes. Notes are stored securely with encrypted URLs. We don't track users, analyze content, or collect personal data. Only people with the exact URL can access your notes.

What devices can I use the notepad on?

Our notepad works on any device with a web browser - computers, smartphones, tablets, Chromebooks, etc. The interface is fully responsive and optimized for all screen sizes.

Can I format text in my notes?

Yes! Our rich text editor supports headers, bold, italic, lists, quotes, code blocks, math equations, and more. You can also use markdown syntax if you prefer.

How do I export my notes?

You can export notes to PDF, HTML, or Markdown format using the export options in the editor menu.

What happens if I lose the URL to my note?

Unfortunately, without the URL, notes cannot be recovered since we don't store user accounts or email addresses. We recommend bookmarking important notes or saving the URLs.

Can multiple people edit the same note?

Currently, our notepad supports viewing shared notes but not real-time collaborative editing. Each person would need to make their own copy to edit.

Is there a limit to how long my notes can be?

No, there's no limit on note length. You can write as much as you need, from quick reminders to full documents.

Does the notepad work offline?

The notepad requires an internet connection to save changes to the cloud. However, you can continue typing if you temporarily lose connection, and changes will sync when reconnected.

Can I use the notepad for coding?

Yes! Our notepad includes syntax highlighting for many programming languages and supports code blocks with proper formatting.

How is this different from Google Docs or other note apps?

Our notepad focuses on simplicity and privacy. No account required, instant access, no data collection, and a clean interface designed specifically for quick note-taking.

Can I change the theme or appearance?

Yes, we support both light and dark modes. The theme automatically adapts to your system preference, or you can manually toggle between modes.
