How does JustNoted work?

Creating & Saving Notes

Creating a note on JustNoted couldn't be easier. When you first load the page, you'll see an empty note waiting for your thoughts. Just start typing. If you need another note, just click/tap the big Add a new note button.

You will notice that every new note is automatically titled, Just Noted #1 or a different number. This isn't random but is incremented by a global counter that every user of JustNoted contributes to. The current count was last reset on 27 March, 2025.

Your work is automatically saved 2 seconds after you stop typing. You'll see a Saving... indicator followed by a Saved confirmation once it's complete.

If the auto-save doesn't trigger for some reason, or you just want the peace of mind of a manual save, hit the button anytime.

Changing the Title of Your Note

If you want to change the title of your note, hover over the title (on mobile: tap on the title) and then click/tap the button. This will let you type in a new title. When you're done, just click/tap the button to save your changes or click/tap the button to cancel your changes.

Downloading Your Notes

Need to take your note elsewhere? Just click/tap the button to download your note as a simple .txt file. These files can be opened on virtually any device, so your thoughts are always portable.

Deleting Notes

Once you're done with a note and don't need it anymore, click/tap the button. You'll get a quick confirmation (just to make sure you're certain), and then it's gone forever. Really forever – I don't keep backups.

How Your Privacy Is Protected

I built JustNoted with privacy in mind. No information about your computer or browser is stored anywhere. JustNoted creates a randomly generated code that serves as an anonymous token for your browser. This token is saved only in your browser's LocalStorage. When you return to JustNoted, it checks for this token to retrieve your notes.

JustNoted knows nothing about your browser type or device – none of that is tied to your notes. When you delete a note, it's permanently deleted with no backups kept.

In fact, it's more likely that JustNoted will create a separate randomly-generated token for you (for example, if you clear your browser storage or cache) than it is for anyone to ever see your notes.

This approach means your notes remain private while still being there when you need them – as long as you're using the same browser on the same device and haven't cleared your cache.
