A free, local-first online notepad for people who want to write immediately — without accounts, ads, or a cloud that owns their drafts.
Most “free online notepads” either trap you behind signup walls, carpet the page with ads, or quietly sync every keystroke to a vendor account. Sen Notes takes a narrower bet: open a tab, write, autosave on your device, leave when you’re done.
That model is imperfect for multi-device sync — and we say so up front. It’s excellent for private scratch work, meeting notes on a work laptop, drafts you don’t want in someone else’s cloud, and anyone who is tired of creating yet another password.
No registration. Open /notepad and type.
Notes stay in your browser storage — not a Sen Notes account database.
No login means we are not building a profile of your notebooks.
Headings, lists, tables, drawings, search, trash/restore, and export.
Write comfortably day or night on desktop and mobile.
Download, print, or export a JSON backup when you need portability.
Local autosave survives refreshes and reopening the app. It does not survive clearing site data, some browser “cleaners,” or moving to a different device without a backup. If a draft matters, export it — same as you would download a file from any editor.

Sen Notes is built to stay simple on purpose. If a feature fights “open and write,” it probably won’t ship. Feedback that makes the pad faster, clearer, or more honest about local storage is always welcome.
