A QUICK WALKTHROUGH

How to use this tool

  1. Write or paste a note (up to 100,000 characters).
  2. Choose plain text or the supported Markdown preview.
  3. Download the original note as TXT or MD.

Local draft

Notes autosave after 400 ms without input. Browser storage is not encrypted; clearing storage, private browsing or a different browser can lose or hide your draft. Storage errors are shown; download a file to keep a copy.

Safe Markdown subset

Supports headings, flat ordered/unordered lists, fenced code, inline code, bold, italic and inline links. HTML, images, nested formatting, tables and other extensions remain text. Only absolute http, https and mailto links are clickable; clicking opens an external destination. Preview itself fetches no URLs.

GOOD TO KNOW

Common questions

How are words counted?

Words are whitespace-separated tokens, not a language-aware count. Characters count Unicode code points; the input limit uses browser UTF-16 units.

Does MD export convert the note?

No. TXT and MD exports both contain the original text, including any Markdown syntax.
