Offline notepad that works without a connection

Typehall is an offline notepad: after one successful online visit installs the app's cached assets, opening it with no connection still gives you the full editor. Writing, organizing notes into folders, tagging, searching, and exporting all work offline because there is no backend application to reach.

How offline mode works

• Visit once while online so the app shell and its assets are cached.
• Optionally install it to your home screen or dock from the Settings panel.
• Your notes live in your browser's on-device database, not on a server.
• Reconnecting changes nothing — there is nothing to sync and nothing queued.

What keeps working with no connection

Everything you do with notes is local computation, so the whole workspace stays usable: creating and editing notes, Markdown preview, folders and tags, global search, sorting, saved filters, favorites and pinning, archive and trash, daily notes, the scratchpad, checklists, templates, note links and backlinks, the note graph, writing statistics, version history, and every export path including print-to-PDF and full backup download.

A practical offline workflow

Before a flight or a dead-zone commute, open Typehall once while you still have a connection and confirm your notes load. Then close the tab — the app is installed as a PWA from the Settings panel if you want a home-screen icon — and write normally. When you are back online, nothing needs to upload or reconcile; your notes were already saved with every keystroke. If the trip matters, download a backup before you leave anyway: offline protects you from missing internet, not from a lost device.

Honest limits

The very first visit needs a connection to download the app. Notes stay on the device where you wrote them — moving text between devices still means exporting a file yourself. And as with any browser storage, clearing site data removes local notes, so keep a backup of anything important. Offline also cannot recover anything: if the browser profile holding your notes is wiped while you are offline, there is no server copy to pull back. Back up and restore notes explains the safety net.
