Where the text lives
In this browser’s local storage, on this device. There is no account and no server copy, which means nobody can read it and nobody can recover it for you.
What clears it: clearing site data, browsing in private mode, or some "clean up disk space" tools. What does not: closing the tab, restarting the machine, or losing your connection. For anything you would be upset to lose, export it — the point of a scratchpad is that it is temporary.
Saving as you type
Every change is written to storage a moment after you stop typing, so there is no save button and nothing to forget. The delay is deliberate: writing on every keystroke would be slow on a long document.
Storage is limited to a few megabytes per site by the browser, which is a great deal of text — roughly a thousand pages — and not a place to paste base64 data.
Frequently asked questions
Will my notes still be here tomorrow?
Yes, in this browser on this device. Clearing site data or using private browsing removes them, and there is no server copy to restore from.
Can I see them on my phone?
No — nothing syncs, because nothing is uploaded. Export the text and move it yourself.
Do I need to press save?
No. Changes are stored a moment after you stop typing.
How much can it hold?
A few megabytes, which is roughly a thousand pages of text. It is not a place for pasted binary data.
