My Note Page offers multiple ways to find and organize your notes: search by keyword, browse by hashtags, or view notes by date, month, or year. You can also view statistics to see your note-taking patterns.

What is My Note Page?

My Note Page is a minimalist note-taking app designed for immediate capture, personal thinking, and everyday notes – with a timeline to revisit what you wrote. It's private, secure, and forever free. Create unlimited notes instantly with no sign-up, no sync, no cloud, no AI, no ads. Your notes are stored only on your device and never leave your browser.

Is My Note Page free?

Yes, My Note Page is completely free. No hidden fees, no registration required, no ads, no usage limits. Create unlimited notes and use all features forever free.

Why is "Forever Free" guaranteed?

My Note Page stores your notes locally using IndexedDB, not on our servers. We have zero infrastructure costs – no servers to pay for, no databases to maintain, no cloud bills. "Forever Free" is a technical guarantee, not a marketing promise. We couldn't add paywalls even if we wanted to. Your notes are already on your device, under your control, forever.

How do I add a new note?

Type your note in the text area at the top of the page, then select "Add Note" or press Ctrl+Enter (Windows/Linux) or Cmd+Enter (Mac). Your note is saved instantly. There's no character limit while typing – notes up to 50,000 characters are supported.

Can I edit a note after creating it?

Yes. Select "Edit" on any note to modify its content, then select "Save" or press Ctrl+Enter (Windows/Linux) or Cmd+Enter (Mac) to update. The timestamp shown on each note reflects when it was originally created, not when it was last edited.

Are there keyboard shortcuts?

Yes, when using a computer. Press Ctrl+Enter (Windows/Linux) or Cmd+Enter (Mac) to save a new note or save edits while editing a note. Press Esc to close any open panel or cancel editing a note. Press / (forward slash) to quickly open search.

Can I pin notes?

Yes. You can pin notes to keep them at the top of the list. Pinned notes remain on your device and are stored locally, just like all other notes.

Why does each note have a Copy button?

The Copy button lets you instantly copy any note's full content with one tap, making it easy to paste into emails, documents, or other apps. This reflects My Note Page's philosophy as a place for quick notes that are meant to be captured, used, and moved elsewhere.

How do hashtags work in My Note Page?

Hashtags let you organize related notes by adding tags like #idea, #journal, or #todo directly in your note text. Select any hashtag to see all notes containing it. View Recent Hashtags to quickly find and filter tagged notes across your entire collection. All hashtag detection happens locally in your browser – they are not indexed, tracked, or sent anywhere.

Can I browse my notes by date, month, or year?

Yes. You can browse your personal timeline by date, month, or year. Open Recent Dates to see notes from specific days, Recent Months to view notes by month, or Recent Years to explore notes from past years. This helps you revisit what you wrote based on when you wrote it, not just what you remember. All timeline browsing happens locally in your browser.

How do I search my notes?

Open Search Notes on the main page or press / to open the search feature. Start typing to instantly search through all your note content and display results in real-time as you type. Search is case-insensitive (searching "TODO" or "todo" gives the same results) and happens entirely in your browser – nothing is sent to any server. You can also browse by hashtags, or by date, month, or year to find notes from specific time periods.

How do I view statistics about my notes?

Open View Statistics on the main page to see information about your notes, including total number of notes, pinned notes, active days, notes in Trash, and more. All statistics are calculated locally in your browser.

Can I change the theme or appearance?

Yes. My Note Page offers light, dark, and system themes. System theme automatically matches your device's appearance settings.

Can I backup my notes?

Yes. Select Download All Notes to export all your active notes as a plain text file. The file will be automatically named based on how many notes you have and today's date (for example: mynote.page_365-notes_2026-12-31.txt). The backup contains all your note content with timestamps in a structured format that's both human-readable and can be imported back later. Notes in Trash are not included in the backup. We strongly recommend backing up regularly, especially before clearing browser data.

How do I import notes from a backup file?

Visit the Import Notes page, select your previously downloaded .txt backup file, and select "Import Notes". The system automatically checks for duplicates based on timestamps and only adds unique notes to your device. Your existing notes will not be overwritten. You can import unlimited notes as long as your browser has available storage.

Can I export my notes to other formats?

Currently, My Note Page exports notes as a .txt file using Download All Notes. This creates a simple text file with all your notes and timestamps that you can open in any text editor or import back into My Note Page.

Where are my notes stored?

Your notes are stored locally in your browser using IndexedDB technology. They never leave your device and are never uploaded to any server or cloud. Only you can see your notes, and only when using the same browser where you created them.

Is my data private and secure?

Yes. My Note Page never collects personal data, never tracks your activity, and never shows ads. All notes are stored locally in your browser and never uploaded anywhere. We can't see, access, or restore your notes. Privacy isn't a promise – it's how the app works.

Does My Note Page use cookies or tracking?

No. My Note Page does not use cookies, tracking pixels, or any scripts that monitor your personal activity. We use Cloudflare Web Analytics for anonymous page view counting only – no cookies, no personal data, no individual user tracking. The only data stored is your notes, which stay in your browser's IndexedDB. You can verify this anytime using your browser's developer tools or network inspector.

Can other people see my notes?

No, unless they have physical access to your device and browser. Notes are stored locally and visible only to you. However, anyone with access to your unlocked device can read your notes. Please use device-level protections like screen locks, passcodes, or OS/browser profiles.

Can I use My Note Page for storing passwords or sensitive information?

We do not recommend storing passwords, financial details, or other highly sensitive information in My Note Page. While your notes are private and stored locally, the app is designed for quick notes and drafts, not secure storage. Use dedicated password managers for sensitive data.

Can I sync my notes across different devices?

No. My Note Page is designed to be simple and private. Notes are stored only in your browser's local storage on each device. They never leave your device or sync to any cloud. This ensures complete privacy but means notes stay on the device where you created them.

Does My Note Page work offline?

Yes. After loading once at mynote.page, the app works completely offline thanks to Service Worker technology. You can take and access your notes anytime, even without internet. The Service Worker caches static files (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, fonts) locally but does not access, read, or transmit your notes.

Does My Note Page require an internet connection?

After your first visit, My Note Page works completely offline. The app uses Service Worker technology to cache static files in your browser, allowing you to create and access notes without internet.

Can I install My Note Page as an app on my device?

Yes. My Note Page is a Progressive Web App (PWA) that works like a native app. On mobile, tap "Add to Home Screen" in your browser menu. On desktop, look for the install icon in your address bar. Once installed, it launches instantly and works completely offline. Installation is optional and does not change how your notes are stored or affect privacy.

Is there a mobile app for My Note Page?

My Note Page is a Progressive Web App (PWA) that works like a native app when installed. On mobile, tap "Add to Home Screen" to install it. Once installed, it appears on your home screen and works offline just like a native app.

Are there any limits on how many notes I can create?

No, there are no limits on the number of notes you can create. You can create unlimited notes as long as your browser's storage has available space (typically several hundred MB to a few GB depending on your device).

What is the maximum size for a single note?

Individual notes support up to 50,000 characters (approximately several thousand words) to maintain optimal browser performance. This is sufficient for detailed notes, journal entries, or article drafts.

What happens to deleted notes?

Deleted notes move to Trash for up to 7 days before permanent deletion. During this time, you can restore them. After 7 days or if you empty Trash manually, notes are permanently deleted and cannot be recovered. We do not keep backups.

Can I permanently delete all my notes?

Yes. My Note Page gives you complete control over your data. You can permanently clear all notes anytime using the Clear All Notes feature. This deletes everything, including notes in Trash, instantly with no recovery possible. Always download a backup first if you want to keep any notes. This feature reflects our commitment to user privacy and data ownership – you're never locked into the app.

What happens if I clear my browser data?

Your notes will be permanently lost if you clear your browser data or cookies. Always download a backup first using Download All Notes to save your notes as a .txt file on your device.

What browsers are supported?

My Note Page works on all modern web browsers including Chrome, Edge, Safari, and Firefox. For best experience, use the latest version of your browser.

Can I use My Note Page on multiple browsers?

Yes, but notes don't sync between browsers. Each browser stores its own set of notes locally. Notes created in Chrome won't appear in Edge or Safari. Use the download and import features to manually transfer notes between browsers if needed.

When should I use My Note Page?

My Note Page is designed for immediate capture, personal thinking, and everyday notes. It focuses on simplicity, speed, and full ownership rather than complex long-term archival systems or heavy note management. Use it when you want to write instantly, without setup, sync, or distraction.

When should I NOT use My Note Page?

My Note Page is not ideal for sensitive information (like passwords or financial records), collaborative work requiring real-time team editing, or critical data that must persist across devices without manual backup. For those needs, consider dedicated password managers, collaboration tools, or cloud-based note apps with automatic sync.

Can I use My Note Page for journaling?

Yes. Many users find My Note Page perfect for daily journaling. The minimalist interface removes distractions, offline access means you can write anywhere, and local-only storage ensures your private thoughts stay truly private. Use hashtags like #journal or #reflection to organize entries, or browse your personal timeline by date, month, or year to revisit specific days and reflect on past entries.

Can I use My Note Page for task management or to-do lists?

Yes. While My Note Page doesn't have built-in task features like checkboxes, you can use it for simple task lists. Many users add hashtags like #todo, #urgent, or #work to organize tasks, then view Recent Hashtags to see all tasks at once. For complex project management with dependencies and deadlines, dedicated task apps may be better.

Who created My Note Page?

My Note Page was created by Lâm Thái Sơn with a simple belief: writing should feel instant, quiet, and private by default. Writing here isn't about managing thoughts, but giving them a place to appear.
