# Online notepad

Free, no account. Your text stays in this browser.

## Where your text is

- It’s saved in this browser, on this device. We never receive it.
- Anyone using this browser can read it here. On a shared computer, press Clear.
- Clearing browser data deletes it. A private window deletes it on close. Safari can delete it after 7 days without a visit.
- It isn’t on your other devices. Download .txt saves the text without formatting. Print keeps the formatting. Copy includes formatting where your browser supports it.
- ThreadPage Free also stays in one browser. With Plus or Pro and Sync on, notes reach your account and other devices.

## Questions

### Is this online notepad free?

Yes. There is no account and no payment, and it opens straight away.

### What happens when I close the tab?

Your text stays. Open this page in the same browser and it’s here, unless the browser’s data was cleared.

### Can I open my text on another device?

Continue in ThreadPage to keep the formatting. With Plus or Pro and Sync on, your notes can reach your account and other devices. Download .txt saves a plain-text copy.

### How long can my text be?

Length and formatting both affect the size of a note. If this browser cannot save your work, the notepad says so. Copy or download it before closing the page.

### How is ThreadPage different from this notepad?

Write and format here. Continue in ThreadPage to keep related notes together in threads, with images, files, folders and search. Both are free in your browser.
