A free online notepad that opens instantly

CNotepad is a free notepad that runs in your browser. Open the page and start typing: the cursor is already in the notepad. There is nothing to install and no account to create. Everything you type is saved automatically on your own device. When you want to lay ideas out visually, switch to Board mode for drag-and-drop sticky notes.

Type instantly

A clean plain-text notepad that is ready the moment the page loads, with word and character counts and a .txt download.

Share with a link

Click Share to copy a link that contains your note. Whoever opens it gets their own copy. The note travels inside the link and is never stored on our server.

Sticky-note board

Switch to Board to drag notes anywhere, resize them, collapse them to a title, or open one full page when you need room to write.

Tabs and colors

Keep separate boards for work, study and personal lists. Color-code notes and tabs to find things at a glance.

Search and templates

Filter every note on a tab as you type. Start from Kanban, meeting notes, brainstorming or project-planning templates.

Private and offline

Notes stay in your browser's storage, not on our servers. The notepad keeps working without an internet connection.

Export and import

Download a tab or your whole workspace as JSON, or a single note as a .txt file, and import it on another device.

Trash and undo

Deleted notes and tabs go to the trash first, so you can restore them if you change your mind.

Frequently asked questions

Is this online notepad really free?

Yes. There is no account, no subscription and no limit on notes or tabs.

Where are my notes saved?

In your browser's local storage on this device. They are not uploaded anywhere. Clearing your browser data removes them, so use Export for backups or to move notes to another computer.

Does it work offline?

Yes. Once the page has loaded you can keep writing without a connection.

How does sharing work?

Share copies a link with your note compressed into the part of the address after the #. Browsers never send that part to a server, so the note is not uploaded or stored by us. Anyone with the link can read it, so only share it with people you trust. Very long notes are better sent as a .txt file.

Is CNotepad the same as Notepad++?

No. Notepad++ is a separate desktop code editor for Windows. CNotepad is an independent notepad in the browser. If you are looking for Notepad++ itself, read Notepad++ online: what works in a browser.
