About this tool
Notepad online — notes that auto-save in this browser with a live word count. No sign-up, nothing uploaded; open and export as .txt.
BrainCoder's online notepad is a private, zero-install scratchpad that auto-saves as you type. Whatever you write is stored in this browser's local storage and is still there when you come back — a closed tab, a restart, or an accidental click away never costs you a note. Nothing is uploaded to any server, and there is no account to create.
A note lives on this one device and in this one browser: clearing your site data, switching browsers, or using a private window removes it, so use the Save button to download anything important as a .txt file. A live word and character count keeps you oriented, long lines wrap automatically, and you can open an existing .txt or .md file and keep typing from where you left off.
This notepad suits meeting minutes, to-do lists, and quick scratch work where a full editor would be overkill. Notes up to about 2 million characters auto-save without issues; for anything larger, download the file with Save and continue in a new note. Works offline once opened, and there is no sign-up to gate any of it.

Write and let it save
Type your notes and the notepad auto-saves them in this browser as you go. The word count and a 'saved at' time in the corner confirm what has been stored — there is no Save button to click for this.
