PC Notepad - Free Online Notepad with Sharing

PC Notepad is a fast online notepad with no distractions, for quick notes, drafts, lists, word counting, private text cleanup, cloud sync, and instant share links.

Start writing without an account, then sign in only when you want synced notes, share management, or editable shared notes.

Local first, share when needed

Plain notes save in your browser by default. Account sync and share links are optional cloud features. Notes you lock with a password are encrypted in your browser, and private share links keep the decryption key in the URL fragment.

What is an online notepad?

An online notepad editor is a tool that runs in your browser for quick notes, drafts, lists, reminders, code snippets, and plain text writing. PC Notepad is also designed for the text people actually paste every day: wrapped paragraphs, extra spaces, rough AI drafts, keyword lists, Markdown, and copied webpage text.

You can install it as an app, write offline, preview Markdown, clean formatting, count words, check reading time, lock a note with a password, sync notes when signed in, share notes by link, and export your notes whenever you need a copy outside the browser.
