Free Online Notepad

Your note saves automatically in this browser. Download it as a .txt file to keep a permanent copy.
What makes it useful
Autosaves as you type
Your text is kept in your browser automatically, so it's still there when you come back — no save button, no lost drafts.
Type or dictate
Write with the keyboard, or click the mic and speak. Voice typing turns your words into text in 35+ languages.
Private by default
Notes live in your browser's local storage on your device. Nothing is uploaded to a server. On-device Whisper keeps dictation private too.
Copy & export
Copy the whole note to your clipboard or download it as a .txt file whenever you want to keep or move it.
Works everywhere
Any modern browser, desktop or mobile. No signup, no install, no download — just open the page and start writing.
Distraction-free
A clean writing pad with word and character counts. Nothing to configure, no clutter — just you and the text.
A notepad you can talk to
Most online notepads only take typing. This one also listens: click the mic and your speech is written straight into the pad. It's handy for capturing a thought quickly, drafting a message hands-free, or writing in a language that's faster to speak than to type.
Live dictation uses the speech engine built into Chrome, Edge, and Safari. Prefer to keep everything on your device? Switch to Whisper and the audio is transcribed locally with OpenAI's open model — works in Firefox too, and fully offline once the model has loaded.
A quick notepad for anything
Use it as a plain online notepad, a scratchpad for copy-paste, or a voice notepad when you'd rather talk than type. It opens instantly in any browser — nothing to install, no account to make:
- •Jot quick notes and to-do lists
- •Draft emails, messages, and posts before sending
- •Hold text you're copying between apps
- •Keep a running journal or daily log
- •Brainstorm and outline ideas
- •Dictate notes hands-free while doing something else
Frequently asked questions
Is this online notepad free?
Yes — completely free, with no signup, no install, and no limits. Everything runs in your browser.
Are my notes saved automatically?
Yes. Your text is saved in your browser as you type, so it's still there when you come back. Because it's stored locally, clearing your browser data removes it — download important notes as a .txt file to keep them.
Can I dictate notes with my voice?
Yes. Click the mic and speak — your words are typed for you. Live dictation works in Chrome, Edge, and Safari; an on-device Whisper mode covers Firefox and works fully offline in 35+ languages.
Do I need an account or an internet connection?
No account is required. Once the page has loaded, typing and on-device Whisper dictation work offline. Live dictation needs a connection because the browser processes the audio through its speech service.
Where are my notes stored?
In your browser's local storage on your own device. Nothing is uploaded to a server, so your notes stay private to this browser.
