Frequently Asked Questions
Are my notes saved automatically?
Yes! Your notes are automatically saved to your browser's local storage as you type. You'll see a "Auto-saved" indicator when changes are saved.
Will my notes be there when I come back?
Yes, as long as you use the same browser and haven't cleared your browser data. Notes are stored locally and persist across sessions.
Can I access my notes on another device?
No, notes are stored only in your current browser. To transfer notes to another device, download them as a text file and open that file on the other device.
Is there a character limit?
Browser local storage typically allows around 5MB of data. For plain text, this means you can store millions of characters - more than enough for most note-taking needs.
Are my notes private?
Yes. Your notes never leave your browser. They're stored locally on your device only. We don't have access to your notes, and they're never uploaded anywhere.
How do I permanently delete my notes?
Click the "Clear" button to delete your notes from the notepad. To completely remove saved data, clear your browser's local storage for this site.
