Instant private browser notepad

Typehall is a notepad that lives in your browser. There is nothing to install and no account to create: you open the page and start typing. Your notes are stored locally in this browser on this device, instead of on somebody's server.

Every keystroke autosaves to a small database inside this browser. Close the tab or restart the browser and your notes remain here as long as this browser's site data is kept.

Anything stored only in a browser can be lost the same way: clearing site data, cookies, or local storage permanently removes your notes, and uninstalling or resetting the browser does the same. That is why Typehall treats export as a first-class action, not an afterthought — download any note as a .txt file, or back up the whole workspace as one file you keep yourself. How Typehall handles your data.

A dozen notes need no system. A few hundred do. Typehall's organizing tools are deliberately boring: one level of folders, tags (up to 20 per note), pinned notes, favorites, and archive instead of delete. Global search covers titles, text, tags, and folder names. Saved filters freeze a search you run often, and sorting puts recently modified, created, or alphabetical order one click away.

Notes can link to each other with [[Title]], with backlinks and a local note graph showing how they connect. Split view pins a second note beside the one you're editing on wide screens. The editor itself stays fast to use: find and replace with match counts, live word and character counts, and dark mode. Nothing here requires learning a method — each tool answers one question: where did I put that.

Any note can be a Markdown note. You keep editing plain text — headings, lists, quotes, code, tables, checklists — and Preview renders it on demand. The preview is sanitized: scripts and raw HTML never run, and remote images never load. Markdown notes import and export as .md files, and plain text stays the default until you choose otherwise.

After one successful online visit caches the app, Typehall keeps working with no connection: writing, organizing, searching, and exporting all run locally. The first visit needs a connection, and your notes never leave the device to "sync" — there is nothing to sync with. Offline details and limits.

One action opens today's note — journal, log, or plan — and reopening it never creates a duplicate. The scratchpad is a temporary space for text you're not ready to file; checklists turn any lines into tickable items; ten built-in templates (meeting, project, reading, and more) start common notes for you. Daily-notes guide.

Your words should survive Typehall, not depend on it. Export any note as .txt, .md, or .html, print or save a PDF from the browser, or back up the entire workspace — notes, folders, tags, and settings — as one JSON file you store wherever you like. Exporting notes covers every format and moving between browsers.

Restoring replaces or merges with what's here, and validation runs before anything is written, so a damaged backup file can't silently wipe your notes. Old backups keep importing even as the app improves, because the format is versioned, not improvised.

No account means no password to forget and no subscription. Typehall does not provide cloud storage or cross-device sync for your notes. It also means Typehall cannot do what servers do: there is no access to your notes from another computer, and no recovery if you wipe the only browser that holds them.

That trade is the whole product — the backup and export tools above exist because the responsibility for copies sits with you, not with us. Local-first notes explains the trade-off in full.
