What this tool does

An online notepad you can use straight away with no sign-up or login. When you stop typing, it saves automatically to this browser 0.4 seconds later, counts characters (including spaces) and words as you go, and lets you download the text as a dated text file. Use it to jot down a phone number or phrase in a hurry, edit something before pasting it elsewhere, or trim a cover letter or post to a character limit.

How it is calculated

Character and word counts update with every keystroke, and 0.4 seconds after your last input the whole text is saved to the browser's local storage, with 'saved' flashing briefly at the top. There is no save button. Nothing is sent to a server, and opening the page again in the same browser on the same device brings the text back. If saving fails, a 'save failed' message appears. The character count includes spaces and line breaks; the word count is the number of chunks separated by spaces or line breaks after trimming the ends. For example, 'meet at 3' counts as 9 characters and 3 words. Some special characters such as emoji may count as two characters. Pressing download creates a file named with today's date, such as a note file ending in 20261001.txt, directly on your device.

  • Start typing in the empty box; it saves automatically with no save button
  • The top right shows the character and word count in real time
  • Press download (.txt) to save a dated text file
  • Clear empties both the text and the saved copy after a confirmation prompt
  • Next time you open it in the same browser, your last text is still there

Things to know

  • In a private or incognito window, the saved text disappears when you close it. Use a normal window for notes you want to keep.
  • Clearing browser data, or opening it on another device or browser, shows no note. There is no sync, so download anything important.
  • When meeting a character limit, check whether that site counts spaces. This notepad counts both spaces and line breaks.
  • There is only one note. Clearing it to write something new cannot be undone, so download first if needed.
  • On a shared computer, always press clear when you finish; the next person opening the same browser would see it.
  • If the box is empty, the download and clear buttons do nothing.

Frequently asked questions

Can other people see what I write in this online notepad?

It is never sent to a server, so nobody can see it over the internet. Anyone using the same browser on the same device will see it if they open this page, so clear it on shared computers.

Autosave does not seem to work.

It saves 0.4 seconds after you stop typing and briefly shows 'saved'. If 'save failed' appears or the text is gone when you return, a private window or security setting may be blocking browser storage.

Does the character count include spaces?

Yes. It counts every character including spaces and line breaks. If you need a count without spaces, use a dedicated character counter alongside it.

Can I add formatting such as bold or lists?

No. It handles plain text only, and the downloaded file is plain text too. It opens normally in most editors, including Korean text.
