Free Notepad
Fast, local-first notes with Markdown & Encrypted Cloud Sync
FreeNotepad is a fast, privacy-focused digital notepad built for distraction-free writing. Works 100% offline with zero sign-up required, featuring optional encrypted cloud sync across devices. Enjoy live Markdown formatting, split-screen note comparison, folders, filterable tags, and instant export to PDF and Markdown. Your notes remain private, secure, and stored directly on your machine.
Hey Product Hunt community! 👋
I built FreeNotepad out of everyday frustration with modern note-taking apps. Most tools today are either bloated with complex project management features or require account logins, subscriptions, and paywalls just to write a simple thought.
My goal was to create a digital notepad that feels instant, private, and distraction-free:
• Instant & Local-First: Opens in milliseconds with zero signup. Your notes are stored locally in your browser and work 100% offline.
• Encrypted Cloud Sync: Optional secure cloud synchronization across all your devices when you need it.
• Power Without Bloat: Live Markdown preview, dual split-screen side-by-side editing, KaTeX math formulas, and code highlighting.
• Effortless Organization: Custom folders, color-coded tags, and instant full-text search.
• Export Freedom: Export to Markdown (.md), PDF, or plain text with one click.
I’d love to hear your thoughts, feedback, and what features you’d love to see next! Thank you for the support! 🚀
