Notepad — Offline Capable

Amit Merchant’s Notepad is an offline-capable, Progressive Web App developed in India. It features plain text autosave, a wide range of download options — including plain text, PDF, HTML, and DOCX — and several unique customization features, such as dark mode, writing timer, and the ability to play ambient noise. It also supports dyslexic and monospaced fonts, and can be installed on supported browsers for offline usage.

Notepad prioritizes user privacy, never collecting personal data. The application is light-weight, and offers a focus mode for distraction-free writing, an optimal line length for better reading, and break reminders to suggest short rest periods after long writing sessions.
