How It Works

Write notes in Markdown or plain text. Toggle the live preview to see rendered output. Notes auto-save to your browser's localStorage every few seconds.

**Note Taking Pad — Write, Format, and Save Notes Online**

A step up from our simple Online Notepad, the Note Taking Pad adds Markdown support with live preview, note organisation, and export options. Perfect for developers, students, and professionals who want richer note-taking without leaving the browser.

Markdown lets you write formatted content with simple plain-text syntax:

- `# Heading 1`, `## Heading 2`, `### Heading 3`
- `**bold**` and `*italic*`
- `- Item` for unordered lists, `1.` for ordered lists
- `> Quote text` for blockquotes
- `` `code` `` for inline code
- ` ```language ``` ` for code blocks with syntax highlighting
- `[Link text](URL)` for hyperlinks
- `| Col1 | Col2 |` for tables
- `---` for horizontal rules
