Frequently Asked Questions
Are my notes private?
Yes. Notes are stored in your browser's localStorage, which is private to you. They are not sent to any server. No login is required. However, clearing browser data or using private/incognito mode will delete your notes.
Do notes sync across devices?
No. localStorage is per-browser and per-device. Notes saved in Chrome on your computer are not available in Firefox or on your phone. For cross-device sync, use a cloud-based note app like Google Keep, Notion, or Apple Notes.
How much text can I store?
localStorage typically allows 5-10MB per domain, which is enough for thousands of pages of text. For very large documents, a dedicated note app with cloud storage is recommended.
What happens if I clear my browser data?
Clearing browser data (cookies, cache, site data) will delete your notes. Before clearing, copy important notes to another location. The notepad shows a warning if storage is nearly full.
Can I export my notes?
Yes. You can copy your text and paste it into another application, or use the browser's save feature (Ctrl+S) to save as a text file. For regular backups, periodically copy important notes to a permanent location.
