Online Notepad

Use the CaseSwitch Private Browser Notepad as a scratch pad that stays on this device. Draft meeting bullets, tweets, or converter leftovers, then copy them into email or another tool. Notes save in local browser storage — nothing is uploaded to CaseSwitch servers.

Written by the CaseSwitch editorial team. We maintain these tools in the browser so drafts, keys, and images stay on your device.

How to use
  1. Open the notepad and type or paste your draft.
  2. Leave the tab alone while you work elsewhere on the site — the draft stays in local storage on this browser.
  3. Copy anything important into email or a backed-up file before clearing site data.
What this tool is for
You often need a temporary place to hold text while hopping between converters, without opening a cloud doc you did not mean to create. This notepad is a single editor with local draft persistence on this origin. There is no account, no sync, and no server-side notebook. It is a convenience surface, not a manuscript archive.
How it works
Whatever you type is the output — the processor is a passthrough that returns the input unchanged. The page autosaves the draft into this browser’s local storage for caseswitch.net on this device. Closing the tab does not upload the note. Clearing site data, using another browser profile, or switching devices starts empty. There is no conflict resolution and no version history beyond what the browser keeps until you wipe it.
When to use it
Quick notes while you move between converters, drafting before you paste into email, parking a snippet you will convert in a minute, and keeping a private scratch list on a personal machine.
When not to use it
Do not store the only copy of a will, password list, or manuscript. Local storage can be wiped by the browser, an OS profile reset, or a disk cleaner. Use a real editor with backups for lasting work. Do not treat this as a cross-device sync product.
How it compares to related tools
The homepage case converter also keeps editor state for conversions. The Plain Text Converter strips markup rather than storing notes. The Lorem Ipsum Generator creates filler, not your words. Neither this notepad nor those tools replaces Google Docs, iCloud Notes, or a desktop editor with backups.
Common mistakes
Assuming notes sync to your phone. Pasting secrets on a borrowed computer. Never exporting important text. Expecting rich-text formatting, folders, or share links — this is plain text in one field.
Local storage versus cloud notes
Local storage is tied to one browser profile on one device. It survives ordinary tab closes, but not “clear browsing data” for this site, some privacy modes, or moving to another computer. If the note matters, copy it out. CaseSwitch does not read your notepad contents on a server because they never leave the machine for this tool’s processing path.
Privacy on shared machines
Anyone with access to the same browser profile can open this page and see the saved draft. On a shared or work PC, clear the notepad when you finish, or avoid storing anything sensitive. Prefer an OS keychain or password manager for secrets — never this field.
Frequently asked questions
Where is my notepad saved?+
In this browser’s local storage for this site on this device. It is not sent to CaseSwitch servers as part of notepad processing.
Can I access notes on another computer?+
No. Copy the text out if you need it elsewhere. There is no account sync.
What happens if I clear site data?+
The draft is deleted with other local storage for this origin. Export first if you still need the text.
Does the notepad transform my text?+
No. Output matches input. Use other CaseSwitch tools when you want conversion or cleaning.
Is there a file size limit?+
Browsers cap local storage. Extremely large pastes may fail to persist — keep long manuscripts in a real editor.
Is my text uploaded?+
No. The notepad runs in this browser. Clearing data or using another profile removes access to the draft.
Does CaseSwitch upload this text?+
No. Conversion, cleaning, and counting for this page run in your browser. Drafts are not sent to CaseSwitch for processing.
Does this sync across devices?+
No. There is no cloud backup. Clearing browser data for this site will remove your draft.
Is my text uploaded to a server?+
No. The notepad runs entirely in your browser.
