TOOL · TEXT
Scratch pad
A text box that saves itself in this browser while you type — for jotting a phone number, drafting an email or parking a text without opening an editor.
This scratch pad is saved only in this browser, on this device — no account, no cloud. Cleared the browser data or used a private tab? It is gone. For anything important, download the .txt.
Processed in your browser — your files never leave your computer.
How it works
-
Write or paste
The text saves itself 300 ms after you stop typing — the "saved at HH:MM:SS" indicator confirms every write.
-
Come back whenever
Closed the tab, shut down the computer — open this page again in the same browser and the draft is here. The word and character counter follows the text.
-
Download or erase
"Download .txt" saves a real copy on your computer. "Erase everything" asks for confirmation — it only erases on the second click, on "really erase?".
Frequently asked questions
Where is the draft saved?
In localStorage — YOUR browser’s local storage, on this device. There is no server, account or cloud involved: the text never leaves your machine, and not even we can read it.
If I clear my browser data, do I lose the text?
Yes — clearing browsing data ("cookies and site data") takes the draft with it. Private tabs too: the text vanishes when the window closes. Before any cleanup, download the .txt.
Does the draft show up on my phone too?
No — no cloud, no sync: each browser has its own separate draft. To take the text to another device, download the .txt and send it to yourself, or use a notes service with an account.
How much text fits?
localStorage gives about 5 MB per site — in practice, millions of characters, or a whole novel. If the browser refuses the write (storage full or blocked), the tool warns immediately and the text stays on screen for you to download.
I clicked "erase everything" by accident — now what?
Relax: the first click only opens the confirmation. The text only goes away if you click "really erase?" — and there is a "cancel" right beside it. Once confirmed, there is no way back: erased is erased.
Can anyone read what I write here?
No. The text goes from the textarea to the browser’s local storage without touching the network — no server, no analytics on the content, no logs. Just remember: anyone using the same browser on this computer opens the same page and sees the same draft.
