Zero identity attached

A notepad that knows nothing about you

No email. No username. No user record. No content analytics. No fingerprinting. Your notes are attached to no identity — they exist only in your browser, associated with no account, no profile, and no person on our end.

No email address collected

There is no signup form because there is no user account. We do not ask for an email address at any point — not for sign-up, not for backup, not for marketing. Your email does not exist in our system because you have never given it to us.

No username, no user record

Notes are not associated with any user ID, session token, or account record. There is no database row for you. When you close the tab, there is no entry representing “this person was here” on our side.

No server receives your notes

Notes are written directly to your browser's localStorage. The write operation is a local API call — no HTTP request, no server endpoint, no database insert. Your note content never crosses the network.

No content analytics

Some tools run analytics that capture what you type — to improve autocomplete, to train ML models, or to build behavioural profiles. We do not. No keystroke, word count, or content fragment is sent anywhere. Your writing is not training data.

No browser fingerprinting

Browser fingerprinting uses subtle device attributes (screen size, fonts, plugins, GPU renderer) to identify you even without cookies. We do not run fingerprinting scripts. No canvas fingerprint, no WebGL fingerprint, no font enumeration.

No third-party tracking pixels

No Facebook Pixel, no Google Ads tag, no Segment analytics. Third-party trackers are not embedded on this site. Open the Network tab in DevTools — you will see requests to our own domain and CDN-hosted fonts, nothing to ad networks or data brokers.

Why most note apps cannot claim to be anonymous

Apps that sync across devices — Notion, Evernote, Apple Notes, Google Keep — require an account because sync requires identity. They need to know which server-side storage belongs to you. The moment you create an account, your notes are tied to your identity. The service can read them, subpoena them, or expose them in a breach.

This notepad sidesteps the problem by having no sync. There is no cross-device feature, which means there is no need for an account, which means there is no identity to attach your notes to. The constraint enables the privacy.

How we handle aggregate page analytics

We may use privacy-respecting analytics (such as page-view counts from a server log) to understand which pages are useful. This is aggregate data: “1,000 people visited this page today.” It does not capture who those people were, what they typed, or how long they spent writing. No tracking pixel, no ad cookie, no cross-site identifier is used to build an individual profile.

Frequently asked

Does "anonymous" mean my IP address is hidden?
Your IP address is logged in our web server access logs when you load the page — this is standard for any website and is how the internet works. What "anonymous" means here is that your note content is never sent to the server (so it cannot be tied to your IP), and no user record is created. The page-load IP log is retained for security purposes for a short period, but it contains no information about what you typed.
Can I use this for sensitive personal notes?
The notepad is private by architecture — your notes never leave the browser, and no identity is attached. For notes you consider sensitive, we also recommend opening the notepad in an incognito window so that localStorage is cleared when the window closes, leaving no trace on a shared or public device.
What if I clear cookies — are my notes deleted?
Clearing cookies does not delete localStorage. They are separate storage mechanisms. To delete localStorage notes, you need to clear "Site Data" specifically (not just cookies) from your browser settings, or use the Clear button in the notepad itself.
Is this anonymous notepad different from the private notepad?
They share the same underlying storage architecture — both use localStorage, neither sends notes to a server. The difference is emphasis. The private notepad page focuses on the technical architecture of "notes never leave the browser." This page focuses on the identity angle: no email, no user account, no tracking, no association between you as a person and your notes.
Can my employer or school see what I type here?
If your device is managed (MDM, endpoint monitoring software), administrators may be able to see browser activity at the OS or network layer regardless of what website you use. The notepad makes no outbound network requests with your note content, so network monitoring would show nothing. However, local device monitoring software could read localStorage or capture keystrokes. On a managed device, use an unmanaged personal device for truly private notes.
