About the Online Notepad
Write freely with this free online notepad — a TipTap rich-text editor that runs entirely in your browser. Create multiple notes, use a full formatting toolbar (fonts, colors, alignment, links, and more), import Word docs, and switch drafts from the sidebar while word count, character count, and reading time update live.
Import .docx or .txt files client-side, and autosave to local storage on your device. Nothing is uploaded to our servers, so your drafts stay private until you copy or download .txt or .docx.
The Online Notepad on The 360 Tools is completely free — no signup, no install, and no usage limits on phone, tablet, or desktop.
