Tips & Features

Notepad Features:

  • Multiple Notes: Create and manage unlimited notes organized in the sidebar

Best Practices for Note-Taking:

Use Descriptive Titles: Give your notes clear, descriptive titles that make them easy to find later. Instead of "Meeting Notes," use "Q1 Marketing Strategy Meeting - Jan 15."
Organize with Categories: Develop a consistent naming convention using prefixes like "Work -", "Personal -", or "Project -" to group related notes.
Regular Backups: Use the export feature periodically to backup your notes to a safe location, especially for important information.
Quick Capture: Don't worry about formatting initially—just capture your thoughts quickly. You can refine and organize later.
Review and Archive: Periodically review your notes and delete or export ones you no longer need to keep your workspace clean.

Common Use Cases:

  • Meeting Notes: Capture action items, decisions, and important points during meetings
  • To-Do Lists: Create quick task lists and check them off as you complete items
  • Brainstorming: Jot down ideas, thoughts, and creative concepts as they come to you
  • Code Snippets: Store frequently used code snippets, commands, or scripts for quick reference

Privacy & Data:

All notes are stored locally in your browser's storage. No data is sent to any server, ensuring complete privacy. However, this means notes are specific to your browser and device. Use the export/import feature to transfer notes between browsers or devices.
