Are Texterfly utility tools free?

Yes. Every tool in the Utility category is 100% free with no registration, subscription, or payment required. There are no feature limits or usage caps.

No. All utility tools run entirely in your browser using client-side JavaScript. Your text, files, and inputs never leave your device and are never sent to Texterfly's servers or any third party.

Does the online notepad save automatically?

Yes. The Online Notepad saves every keystroke to your browser's localStorage. Your notes persist across page refreshes, tab closures, and browser restarts — no account or cloud sync needed.

How many notes can I create?

You can create up to 10 notes in separate tabs. Each note is saved independently with its own name and content.

Free Online Notepad — Auto-Saves, No Sign-Up, No Ads

Texterfly's Online Notepad is the fastest way to write and store text in your browser — just open the page and start typing. Everything saves automatically to your browser's localStorage after every keystroke, so your notes are there when you come back, even after closing the tab. No account. No cloud sync. No ads interrupting your flow.

Whether you need a quick scratch pad to paste something temporarily, a distraction-free environment to draft an article, or a persistent home for your meeting notes, this notepad adapts. Switch to focus mode to remove every UI element except the writing surface. Enable typewriter mode to keep your current line centred on screen. Toggle Markdown preview to see your formatted output in real time.

Features

💾

Auto-saves every keystroke

localStorage saves happen synchronously on every change. Close the tab, restart your browser — your notes survive.

📑

Up to 10 independent note tabs

Create separate tabs for different projects. Double-click any tab to rename it. Each note is stored independently.

🌙

Dark mode

Warm dark-paper aesthetic — not harsh grey. Toggle at any time; the preference is saved automatically.

👁️

Markdown preview

Toggle between raw text and rendered Markdown preview. Supports headings, bold, italic, lists, links, code, and checkboxes.

🔍

Find & Replace (Ctrl+H)

Inline find-and-replace bar with match count, case-sensitivity toggle, and replace-all in one click.

🎯

Writing goal

Set a word or character target. A live progress ring and percentage fill update in the status bar as you write.

📐

Font & layout controls

Choose font family (sans, serif, mono), size (12–28px), line height, and editor width. Settings persist across sessions.

🖥️

Focus & typewriter modes

Focus mode hides all UI. Typewriter mode keeps the active line vertically centred as you scroll through long documents.

📊

Rich status bar

Words, characters, characters (no spaces), lines, sentences, paragraphs, estimated reading time, and speaking time — all live.

📤

Export as .txt or .md + print

Download your note as a plain text or Markdown file, copy all to clipboard, or send to the browser print dialog.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the notepad save automatically?

Yes — every single keystroke triggers a localStorage save. Your text is preserved even if you close the tab, reload the page, or restart your browser. No manual save action is ever needed.

Are my notes private and secure?

Completely. Notes are stored in your browser's localStorage, which is sandboxed to this site and never transmitted anywhere. Texterfly's servers never receive your note content.

Will I lose my notes if I clear browser data?

Yes — clearing browser cache, cookies, or site data will remove localStorage. Before clearing, use the Download .txt or Download .md button to save a permanent copy of any important notes.

Can I use this on my phone or tablet?

Yes. The notepad is fully responsive. On small screens, the status bar collapses gracefully and the font size controls help you find a comfortable reading size.

Is there a character or file size limit?

localStorage typically allows 5 MB per origin, which is approximately 5 million characters — enough for a full novel. The tool has no enforced limit of its own.

What is typewriter mode?

Typewriter mode scrolls the editor so that the line you're currently typing stays in the vertical centre of the viewport. This eliminates eye strain from looking at the bottom of a long document and is popular with novelists and long-form writers.
